About this event
FISHING THE TRUCKEE
with MATT HERON
on ZOOM
It’s been many years since the Truckee has been featured on our famous Southern California speaker circuit, and it’s a pleasure to welcome guide and business owner Matt Heron, a newcomer to the circuit. Matt will take us through the seasons, techniques and gear for this exciting river, about an 8 hour drive from LA.
The Truckee is one of California’s classic freestones. With exceptions, most guides fish from the town of Truckee, downstream to the Nevada state line. This stretch is filled with every type of water imaginable, runs, riffles, plunge pools, boulders and everything else you can imagine in a bigger river.
Time of year generally dictates the type of fishing on the Truckee, but the common rods are 4 & 5 weights and the occasional 6 & 7 weights when throwing big streamers. Matt recommends 10' rods when nymphing.
The most efficient way to fish the Truckee is nymphing, with a mix of indicator and Euro/Tight line techniques. During certain times of the year the hatches can be amazing, and dry fly fishing is off the charts.
Most of the time the river is known for quality over quantity. In the Summer however, that may flip where we see better numbers but less fish that the Truckee is known for.
