John crushing it on the Truckee







I've had two epic days of guiding, two mediocre days, and one horrible day this last week. When they release water out of Tahoe the fishing sucks, as it is all warm surface water flowing down for the damn booze cruise rafters between Tahoe City and River Ranch. When flows are stable this time of year the fishing can be off the hook. Green Caddis Pupae's specifically mine that I tie, are the way to go. Mercers Z-wing is a very good commercially tied fly as well as Lafontains Sparkle Caddis. Put one off the back of anything, it doesn't matter....I hate to say this, but you really have to fish the "Tom water," that is the fast pocket type water. Find the seams and you will catch fish. These photos show John with two separate Browns. He also farmed two 'Bows that were bigger. We lost count of all the smaller fish, but too were wild.
