Fly fishing is really picking up at Davis. Truckee River Outfitters Guide Doug Ouellette has had some really good days with clients over the past week using a variety of techniques. There are several hatches going on right now and each day can be different. Indicators, floating lines with no indicator, intermediate lines and faster sinking lines all produced fish over the holiday weekend.

One day there can be a morning Callibaetis hatch, the next day fish could be eating Damsels. Yesterday the fishing was slow all morning and about 1:00 pm the fish started chowing Blood Midges. The most important thing is to be ready to change gears and adapt to what the fish are eating. Overall the fishing at Davis is getting really good. Most of the fish are being caught in 6-12 feet of water right now.
