Right on. I hit a nice brown there once. I have a lot of Truckee River fishing on the Nevada side across my two playlists dealing with rivers. I usually like to fish the stretches east of the Mustang bridge but Mayberry Park has some nice stretches to fish.
Thanks for the beautiful video. Beautiful colorful fish. I wish I was younger and could climb those rocks. I am nearly 70 with two total knees so climbing up and down rocks is in my past. Give me a beautiful lake where I can sit and fish or an easy stream.
I'm 50 and I go all the time because I never know when something on me is going to give out! Glad you enjoyed the clip. If you want to watch, I'll do the hiking and climbing around for both of us as long as I can keep it up.
Amani, I always enjoy it when you fish the Truckee River. That section you're in is beautiful and the willows so green in the background. In the late 70's I tried fly fishing somewhere up in that area but didn't know what I was doing and don't remember even getting a rise. Just the same it is such a pretty area, it's was nice just to be there. That is a great river fishery to sustain so many nice fish.
I love to be out there. Once I hike away from the easy access at the exits off 80, I rarely run into anyone early in the morning as I'm hiking and fishing up and down the river. I'm glad you like Truckee River content because It's close to where I live so it is a go to when I have limited time or feeling lazy.
You might get a better deal on the fishusa site. I got a load of those 1/8 OZ road runner jigs for cheap. They come two to a pack and are less than $3 a pack I think. I ordered them a while ago so I can't remember exactly. I think if you order $50 worth of stuff the shipping is free. That's where I got those VMC jigs I got that big brown on in the Nevada Truckee. I think the clip is "Big Brown and Site Clean Up". It's on my rivers playlist if you haven't seen it. I'm close to trying some bucktail jigs intended for walleye I saw on Amazon. I'll try anything that looks good to me! Good luck on the river when you hit it.
Yeah, a bit to the north. Glad to have you as a viewer. I have hundreds of videos organized on playlists to make navigating through it easier. Enjoy. More to come.
Right on. I was you a year and a half ago. A California non-resident License is a little pricy but there are so many targets close to Reno for the Summer and Winter I think it's worth it. I certainly get my money's worth. I have a lot of options across my channel playlists. Thanks for tuning in.
Your fishing adventures are so authentic! Reminds me of the old tv show American Sportsman. Maybe sometime we meet at my favorite Sierra spot? I will video, while you wet your line, and catch on the first attempt, no editing necessary. Where hundreds of cars go by oblivious. No strenuous climbing. No wading. Plenty of access points, different runs. Been a long time since I was there, where dad and I always enjoyed the first cast catch, hiking, and delightful camping. Of course we only keep what we eat, within the hour. Enjoy the July 4th day!
If I had someone film me and the video was stable, people who are familiar with my channel might think they are in the wrong place when they tune in! Thanks for the offer but it's not necessary. I started doing content on my own 2 years ago and that's how I'm comfortable rolling these days.
I dig it. I can't wait for the day when I have enough time to start hitting rivers on the west side of the range. Fishing East of Fresno used to be a staple for me. I'll be back!
I figure eventually we'll cross paths. I'm never there on the weekends. I am beginning to run into viewers quite a bit while I'm out fishing and hiking.
I have had luck all along the 80 in CA all the way out past Sparks in Nevada so just get out there. It's all good! Make sure to check regulations. Personally, I use single hook/barbless/artificial lures because I no longer keep fish in rivers for the most part. Just my personal preference. I think there is a 2 fish limit and only artificial lures in a lot of the river off the 80 now.
@@wildernesswithamani1027 But really it should of produced.Over fishing a steam doesn't count...fish are always on the go..its like where did they go?It really looked like a perfect spot.
I've seen people jumping in the water there. There's a rope swing set up but I don't know how well it works. Jumped into Tahoe a few hours ago. It was awesome!
Everything except that one big hole I went 0-4 today! Yeah, I have a lot of experience fishing rivers similar to it. The 1/8 OZ jigs are something fairly new to me but every time I go I learn a little more. I'll just have to keep going in order to master it!
Crazy currents! I am not sure I even reached the bottom where I wanted to. I might try a 1/4 OZ jig to get a little more direct control. Great how you can remember the currents there because I don't think I'll ever forget them given the number of casts I've made over 4 attempts!
The river looks amazing this time of year. Colorful rainbows are they all wild fish. When are you going for the Golden Trout again. Are they only in the eastern Sierra above 10,000 feet
I first tried them the first time I ever fished the Truckee River about a year ago. That's the clip that started my Truckee River "never been skunked streak" that I dedicated a playlist to. I have over a dozen retrievals I use now depending on the situation. You just have to get out there and work it out. I don't lose a lot of jigs but for people who don't have a lot of experience with this sort of thing, snags will be a struggle! If you have never fished heavy jigs in a river like this, I recommend reeling them in fast and then slow it down from there! When the jig hits the water, you need to have the bail closed and be reeling! I highly recommend trying them if you never have. I don't get tons of fish on them but I get a lot of nice ones and fighting them on the light tackle I use is a real treat.
I fished that hole last week, one small bite. The top end is hard to fish with current splitting. Looking forward to seeing you get one in that hole one day! There has to be a big one in there
I'll get one eventually! I've briefly hooked a couple of fish and had a big hit in the top end but never landed anything. I think they call it "jinxed"!
I really wanna fish that area myself I drive it almost everyday from Reno when I go to Truckee, that area is so gorgeous just wish the price for California fishing license wasn't so steep...
The non-resident license fee is a killer. With the second rod designation I think it cost around $160. If you get on, you'll have to use it a lot to make it worth it. I have a lot of possible targets across the state line on my channel playlists that could help you decide a plan of attack! I also have a lot of content for the river in Nevada that won't cost so much in terms of a license.
It's something you have to practice and I'm getting a lot of it. I still feel like I need a lot more! There are over a dozen ways I retrieve my jig depending on the circumstances and I figured out a new one today that got a few bumps so I'm adding it to my quiver.
Hey all that matters is you had fun here's a thought for you have you looked into getting a pair of those wading boots socks that's all they are I wear them all the time to avoid wearing the chest waders they work out great
@@wildernesswithamani1027 yeah they're pretty much nothing more than a neoprene sock that takes up the space and you're waiting boots so that way you still have the cleats and ability to walk around without falling down I just wear cut offs with mine
Right now it is artificial/barbless/catch and release only in California and one stretch is barbless flies only. I would take a look at the chart in the California regulation guide for "trout waters with special regulations" for the Truckee River before heading out there. It spells everything out in fairly plain order. All trout waters with special regulations (without salmon or steelhead runs) are listed alphabetically on that chart. There should be a new regulation book coming out in march. Typically, there is a bag limit after trout season starts the last weekend in April. I believe the stretch off the 89 is general regulations during trout season but I would recommend confirming that for yourself. I have a lot of Truckee River content on my two channel playlists that deal with river fishing if you haven't seen them and are interested.
Omg!! I know what you mean. I had a nice big fish trying to get him in! Bounce up hit against a log jump up one more time. There it goes I said noooooo!!!
People pretty much know about the Truckee river. tons written, tons of videos, tons of sharing on social media platforms. Get my info from guide sites usually. Pretty easy to see from the road. Fished it this morning.
Right! I'm almost obsessed with getting something big out of there! It's the first big hole I saw from the freeway when I moved up here. It can't beat me forever!
Below Prosser creek where I was fishing I think you are correct. I always use Barbless because I have no intention of keeping fish so it just makes it easier to release everything safely. These days, when I'm fishing in rivers I almost always let everything go. Simply a personal choice. I didn't always roll this way. I'm just old now!
Yeah, they can be found all throught the Sierra Nevada Range and in the foothills. Much more so in the foothills than the higher elevations but they are there. A rattle snakes range is listed at 11K' elevation but I don't look much after 9K' myself. Personally, I've had several rattle snake encounters between 6K-7K' of elevation and had one as high as 7.5K ' elevation at Kings Canyon National Park. I have a clip with one hanging out under my tent up at lake Vernon in Yosemite. That's around 6.5K feet elevation and I've seen more than that one up there over the years.

Sometimes fishing jigs in a river you might get one shot. On this day, I was lucky to get several. If you are in socal, look to the ankle deep water in the surf zone for corbina. I used to catch them on the beach in San Diego where I lived for many years. I think their range is point conception. but I don't know how good it is fishing for them anywhere north of Carlsbad. Treat it like you are fishing for trout with light tackle. They come in with the waves in the Summer and cruise over the patches of sand crabs. I drift a sand crab through ankle to knee deep water and have nailed some nice ones. Some people like to use bloodworms but I find the perch eat those too fast. If you are not in SoCal, this information is useless to you!
@@wildernesswithamani1027 Brother, you've been gone to long...

That damn hole, looks too fishy to steadily hand out skunks
I've briefly hooked a couple of fish in my attempts but nothing landed. It has my number!
