Our destination are the technical trout waters of the Truckee River with Mike Anderson, head guide at the Reno Fly Shop. Mike gives us a detailed rundown of the Truckee, along with stories of ornery wild horses, giant browns, and a trout so big it scared the pants off a client. As a bonus, we dive into the legendary Pyramid Lake—home to monster Lahontan Cutthroat trout and one of the best shots at a 10+ pound trout in the lower 48.
