Yet another dry week here in the Tahoe region and it’s beginning to get a bit concerning that we will just not see the snowpack that we need this year. While we do still have a few good months of winter ahead of us and we’ve seen our share of “Miracle Marches”, there is a good chance that we may be dealing with some low, warm water on the river by mid-summer. Luckily, we do have a number of reservoirs that are sitting above average for this time of year, and these compounds are staying true to their names, providing a reserve for later in the year.
As of this week though, the river has been fishing very well. The rainbows are beginning to get their pre-spawn aggressiveness and vibrant colors, we are seeing some fun dry fly fishing on Glenshire and the lower river. We are also a short way out from the skwalas yearly emergence, which is normally great dry fly fishing on low water years. There’s still lots to look forward to!
