Well, this was an interesting weekend!  I talked to Frank “The Hammer” Friday and was told that the fishing on the Little Truckee was good.  Lot’s of Baetis and the browns and kokanee were spawning in the riffles dropping eggs that the rainbows were greedily gobbling.

Friday, Pat,  I and our two new dogs went up to the Little Truckee to fish with Frank.  The fishing was as advertised, except the weather was clear and warm which slowed the BWO hatch.

We did get a couple of nice rainbows in the 18-19 inch bracket on size 20 baetis imitations.   Frank hooked a larger brown on a size 20 black midge hung below an egg pattern but lost it after a short fight.   I really didn’t fish that hard.  We are trying to train our two new rescue dogs to be good fishing companions.  A great deal of time is spent with them which takes away from the fishing experience.  After a while, you get tired of trying to fish with a dog attached to your wading belt!
