Here is an actual report from one of Truckee River Outfitters good clients.
I just got back from fishing Davis Lake. Figure it might be a rare report for you this time of year. Nice and quiet up there, hardly anyone fishing.
I spent about 8 hours at Jenkins, 1-9.
The fishing was a little slow till about 7ish, just a few hesitant bumps before then. About 7 started picking up fish on midge pupae (#12, black) , fishing deep est. 20'. Was giving a III Unisink a 60 count. About sunset started getting a pretty steady mixed Callabaetis and Blood Midge hatch going with some pretty steady but not frequent rises. I Had no trouble picking up fish on a dry line and midge pupae. Things got real interesting but harder to fish about 8, as a heavy Trico hatch kicked in, unfortunately my skills have faded enough it was hard to take advantage of.
Generally throughout the whole afternoon had sporadic blood midge hatching, and saw a few damsels swimming and a ton of Callabaetis spinners.
This is the type of information we use every week in our reports. Based on this anglers experience I would say fish in the mornings and evenings. Fishing breakaway "DCA" set-ups in deep water would be awesome as well as "Floater No Cator" and sinking lines. Big Maholo Midges in black or wine colors. Have some Callabaetis nymphs and dries ready in the mornings, those spinners had to hatch sometime.
