Marsh Madness

A solo trip in March on a cold windy day, lots of wind chop, lots of midges...lots of fish.

I caught the pre-spawn rainbow last time I was here, I remember because it had a very distinct shark like dorsal fin.

You can about feel the below freezing temps in this picture.

I counted 50 deer in this heard.

Pretty much everything was a 20/20.

One cuttbow, a couple small tigers, everything else were big nasty tasmanians.

Only a couple fish took streamers, everything else was on various midge patterns.  Strong hooks are a must, had a couple #20s straighten out.

Truckee River - Big and Small

Both big flies and small flies were catching fish today, as well as big people and small people, same went for the fish, some were big, some small.

This guy took a big Skwala

Next batter up took a little zebra midge
