...a reply to a conditions update for a visiting fly angler nexr week:
"...I went to the BT yesterday. There was access along Glenshire drive and two of us netted a trout apiece; 18" and 14" Rainbows during a 2:15-4:30 PM period. Both ate a #8 Hare's Ear Stonefly nymph...two #2 shot under an indicator. The water was 45 degrees at 200 cfs and clarity was good... forgot my camera and missed 2-3 great angling/scenery images...expecting some snow so access/conditions are unpredictable & can change."

Cyber Flash!! #3
a bit delayed, but....
Access, and I'm talking the ability to merely park your vehicle...to snow-shoe, glide or "snow-clump"( see NOTE below)...to the "open" BT waters from the Boca inflow upstream up to to Trout Creek, is minimal; if not improbable. The road to the LT at Boca dam is closed; snow-laden and will remain unplowed for the foreseeable future.
NOTE: "Definition #1..." posted of November 23, 2009
Well, it is official via concensus of my BB's (blog buddies); da Sheriff, Jon & Jay are concurring relative to my post of 11/21/10...winter is here.

If you want a reliable and continuing assessment as to what fly fishing venues will afford you the best fly angling opportunities in the 1) Truckee area, 2) north of town to Quincey, and 3) west to Pyramid Lake, "follow" my BB's blogs; da Sheriff*, Jon** & Jay***and Jay***...respectively.

F*#k Yeah!! #2 & Thanksgiving
Actually these two thoughts are not mutually exclusive; they are inter-dependent from my perspective. I'm wishing everyone a pleasant Thanksgiving Day and I'm thanking the the BaseBall gods for my hometown's San Francisco Giants...the undisputable World Champines!!

Glittering Christmas Gifts
My good bud, da Sheriff of da Canyon (http://www.gilliganguideservice.com/) recently posted a suggested Christmas gift. Hey, the gift is nice and creative, but it is really not a SERIOUS gift for someone special. If you want such contact my other bud, Johnny da Jewler. http://www.johnleonardstudio.com/.
Check out some of his original fly angling related items below. I believe these are sterling silver. My wife has "danglies" such as the earings & pendant with stone. If you want something special he'll create a one of a kind...providing you got the pesos, denaros, shekels, bread or bannanas.
The above is a belt-buckle...incredible 
jumping trout; earrings or pendant

End of "Regular" Season
It is official, the "regular" season is over. This also applies to my guiding season; although I did guide last year on December 5 0f last year (see December 2009's Frozen Fingers & Icey Guides).
Currently we're in the midst of our first serious winter snow-storm of the season. As of 2 PM today we've received 2 feet PLUS of snow at our back deck at our home at 6500'. The attached image will give you a perspective.
The sun has attempted to peak through on several occasions...very briefly. The snow will continue through early Tuesday. That translates to another 2 feet at my place and minimally another 4 feet on the high peaks; which I'm predicting at cumulatively high-up at 8 feet on new snow. All this bodes well for a good wet winter that will definitely benefit the local trout fisheries.

Veterans Day
...just a note of thanks to those who served; willingly or not...right or wrong. I personally salute all those who have served.
PS---Received 5" of snow as of Monday morning at my place at 6500' in Truckee. Winter is pretty much here. Nevertheless I'll be on the water tommorrow (11/12) for some last licks, and as long as I can reach and effectively fish both main rivers here, the BT (big Truckee) and LT (Little Truckee).
