Why go to Montana...


I'm often asked by clients, what is your favorite river you ever fished? I always reply the Truckee River. Now don't get me wrong, Montana has more fish able blue ribbon water than any other state and the scenery is unreal. There are Grizzles, Rocky Mountain Elk, Moose, and Cutthroats, but for me the Truckee River in the Fall is the place to be. It's my country. This is a view from today up from the historic lumber town of Floriston.

We were up there a year ago, I miss the Shlitz and Chris's fresh Hyde.
Not to mention the scenery.
Fish wednesday?

Hell yeah...It's the old mans b-day. I know he wants to fish somewhere, L.T?

maybe the number of people around truckee could be a deterrent when compared with wyoming or idaho, but you know the spots to get away from people. by the way, i have noticed better catch rates the further I go past hirschdale and down in the canyon. do you find this to be the case?

Matt "Gilligan" Koles said...

Yes and no, the section above and below Hirsch is some of the most productive on the entire river, but like you said gets hammered all summer long.
