You’ll need to fish slower water to get the best shot at fish that have slowed down their feeding activity while water temperatures are cooler. Fish areas that have a little bit of current flow, but stay away from the faster stretches as fish won’t hold in that type of water at this time of the year. You’ve got to get your flies right in front of the fish to get the grab at this time of the year so make sure to fish each run thoroughly. Best flies for the river are Bottom Rollers in Sherbet and Hares Ear, Copper Johns 16-20, Two-Tone Hunchback Nymphs 18-20, Gold Bead Flashback PT 14-16, Gunni Specials 6, Stanley Streamer Brown/Chub 6, and Bullethead Streamer Gold 6. Best flies for the Little Truckee include Two-Tone Hunchback nymphs 18-20, Copper Johns 18-20, WD 40s 18-20, Zebra midges 18-22, Adams Parachutes 20-22, Griffiths Gnat 22, Brassies 18-22, and Mighty Mite Baetis 18-20. Best flies include Zebra Midges 18-22, Mitey Mite Baetis 18-20, San Juan Worms 16, Two-Tone Hunchback Nymphs 18-20, WD 40s 18-20, Stanley Streamer Brown/Chub 6, Bullethead Streamers Gold 6 and Brassies 18-22. read more
