About -
Four Seasons Fly fishing

As an outdoor enthusiast, I, Brian Slusser, was drawn to the Truckee Tahoe area for the outstanding skiing. However, I found a bonus in the excellent fly fishing for wild Rainbow and Brown Trout in the Truckee River. During the winter months, I am a full-time Professional Ski Patroller. During the summer, I am a fully addicted fly fishing nut.

It is my goal to provide a safe, fun, and informative outing for my clients. Along with my avalanche rescue
dog Shooter I welcome the opportunity to share my passion for fly fishing with anyone from the beginner to the seasoned veteran. Women and children are encouraged. The group size is limited to four persons per guide.

Thrusday June 26th, 2008

I've had a few folks interested in a new report, sorry for the delay. The fishing has been pretty good and between guide trips I have been indulging myself. Lots bugs are currently hatching and the water temps are much warmer than the last report. In a few weeks some of the bugs will be a distant memory as we move on to the next generations. All of the area waters are fishing well at some point during the day. Now is the time to be fishing in our area.

Truckee River *** The water master has jacked up the flows from tahoe and the fishing isn't half bad. Lots of bug hatching from mid-morning on. The evening caddis hatch has been pretty awesome. There are some Green Drakes coming off as well, though not as many as last year. The Little Yellow Stones are also starting and the fish seem to be in to them as well. Anything caddis underneath and on top is producing. The E/C caddis is doing some serious overtime.

Little Truckee*** The LT continues to be a consistent producer for those with some skill. the hatches here should start to get better in the coming weeks. Use some stealth and make good presentations and you should hook into a few. Landing them is another story. PMDs are starting to make a mid-day appearance.

North Yuba**** The North Yuba is where its at for the dry fly person. Ants, Stones, Caddis, and Little Yellow Stones are all available in large numbers and the fish are not to picky as to witch one you drift over them. Now is the time, a couple of weeks from now they may not be as easy. The scenery isn't bad either. Caddis patterns and Stimulators are the ticket. Throw an ant pattern if they get picky.

Reservoirs**-*** Stampede, Boca, and Prosser are fishing well too. I has been Ants and Blood Midges, but the Callibeatis are starting to show and get some attention. Morning has been good. I have yet to spend an evening there as the river has gotten ALL of my attention during that time. Start off with and indicator rig and switch to dry dropper when the fish start taking callibeatis on top.

That should do it for now. Don't wait till August to come fishing here book your trips with me now. If you have questions feel free to contact me.

See you on the water,

Brian
