Big Rainbow Trout Brawl Fly Fishing on the Truckee River
Posted by admin on Friday, January 27th, 2012
See more @ www.theflysyndicate.com Finally, the big one that didn’t get away. I started recording about a minute or two into the fight, I missed a couple of huge aerials but got a few other good jumps on tape. I’m winded cause I had to chase this guy before he stood and fought. Big browns are to be expected on the Truckee, but big bows are a treat! Got this guy in Reno…in town; I get lazy sometimes and just fish the closest holes, but then again, why go to the CA side when there are 2-foot long fish right in town!

It was BIG. It swam as fast as it could down stream, almost pulled the rod out of my hand and went under a rock, snapping the line

MrFishingrockson 28 Jan 2012 at 12:37 am 7What were you using? Like a copper john or something? And what time of year are you fishing in when there’s still snow and the rainbows are really colorful? Thnx

MrFishingrockson 28 Jan 2012 at 1:41 am 9About three months ago I was fishing with my dad in the nevada side of the truckee, and the browns were spawning. He caught three HUGE rainbows that were abot 24″ and 5 pounds. Then at sunset i hooked and lost a 7 pound brown trout in the same pool, and I’m only 11, and it was my 2nd time flyfishing

B1GRon 28 Jan 2012 at 3:34 am 11I fabricated a simple aluminum bracket which I bite down on, the camera is at the level of my jaw and I’m able to film anything I’m looking at from a true 1st person perspective. Thanks for the comment!
