Matt----is that you?...JC's bud?
If so, you would know that:
1-There was the aberration of the kokanee into the LT during late August...totally discombabulated (sp?!). So we'll see if there in another more "real" run.
Or, if not:
2-My recollection is that they seldom appear before the 2nd week of October (if anyone disagrees with this, please jog my memeory; civilly please)...most times, the last week into 1st week of Novemeber is a really good bet of their presence.
3-Why would you want to fly fish with them in the river (...tonque in cheek or eye-wink...since I do not know how to access/use the emoticons...help, pleeeease?)?

I love talking fly-fishing. So, if you want some info on fly angling my "home waters" in the Truckee area, do not hesitate to contact me off the board; whether by phone (530-587-7333) or e-mail (cyberfly@cyberfly.com). Please be patient relative to a quick reply; most especially during May-October.
My latest crusade is limiting undo fly fishing guide impact on the Little Truckee River. This small venue is being abused my commericial guiding interests. Consequently the fishery is being abused, IMO, most especially by guides to the detriment of the fishery. Moderation is the key in usage.
During the last two seasons I've diplomatically mentioned to many guides that they should coordinate with others guides so that they minimize impact...it has been to no avail. Some entities are more guilty than others; weather independent or "stabled" (outfitter or fly shop). So I've just started taking this public. Any civil suggestions/comments on limiting guide impact would be appreciated.

NOW FOR THE SPAM!!
Simply, I'm a fly fishing junkie. In 1984, in order to justify my addiction, I started Thy Rod & Staff in Truckee; the longest existing, fly fishing guide service in the Tahoe area and possibly one of the longest in California. I'm an independent; so the "buck stops with me". I tailor trips to the specific desires and skill levels of the client; no "my way or the highway" guiding.
Simply, experience counts folks! 2009 will be my 26th year exclusively as a professional fly fishing guide in Truckee. As long as I enjoying the interaction with other passionate fly anglers and/or those new to the sport; my service will continue into the future. I also "host" fly fishing club outings.
Encouraged by clients & family I started the Reel School of Fly Fishing in 1996. There are scheduled one & two-day clinics through-out the "general" season; entailing a maximum 3-to-1 attendee-to-instructor ratio. Now, since the season if open year-round; I have a scheduled snow-shoe/fly fishing group-outing during March.
Again in 2010 I will be "hosting" two groups at a private lodge in Chilean Patagonia; located 2+hours from Coyhaique, Chile. The lodge accommodates six (6) fly anglers only. It is located in an isolated river valley (40 minute jet-boat ride down river...no roads). From my past experience in this area, I'm guessing it is like Montana was 50-60 years ago....far-far-away from the "real world". Inquire for specifics, I will be going there every year. I've arranged with the lodge for some incredible pricing for two "hosted" weeks in 2010. Also I can arrange other stays and special pricing...contact me.

Andrew---I don't know what conditions to anticipate a week-plus in advance; although I can speculate. Obviously the key is the weather, and up here, in the clean, crisp air, you should always be prepared for unpredictable climate-change. Besides, there is more to fly fishing in the mountains since being in this spectacular scenery during Fall is enough to re-energize your psyche.
Give me a call before getting on the road. If around, I'll provide you with a timely and honest update on conditions and prospects.
Got to get out of here now!!! and flex my casting arm; there has been some decent, late afternoon rises to BWO's and fluttering, Little Olive stones.......Sometimes it is tough "working" up here.

Thanks, Frank, I will. Saw your post about the Chile trip...sorely tempting but a virtually impossible time to take off from work, plus the dough involved. Some day....

An avatar could be a really cool guitar, but actually its your little picture associated with your profile. It just takes me back to Winterland. I love it. The PERFECT AVATAR.
Been listening to Wolfgang's vault all week. Today listened to Lamb Lies Down on Broadway from beginning to end live, on last tour of Genesis with Peter Gabriel.

Andrew----Please be sure to contact me before your departure to the mouintains.
As for the Chilean Patagonia adventure, since I filled one week (2/2-9/08), the lodge has extended me another week to "host" (1/26-2/2/08). I'm currently looking for three (3) more fly-anglers. The price is still unbelievable for 7 nights/6 guided days...$2200 (you pay the flight). This is classic "market penetration pricing" The lodge will be in its fourth year so the owners want the word to spread. I'm sure you'll be hearing about this lodge in the future.
By the way folks this is not an intended spam.......I've merely responded to Andrew's post.
But........if someone wants more info please contact me off the board and I'll give more specifics.

the Avalon Ballroom. I spent some time there during the Spring, Summer and Fall of '66. The bands then were unknown...then they became the vanguard of the whole musical era.
RB----I may be a bit older than you because I have no idea of the groups you mention. Where they around during my "time-warp" period, 11/66 to 4/70 or after?

Wolfgang's Concert Vault is an online music repository. Some is pay but a lot of the live concerts are free if you register (want email and name, you get a weekly spamish email).
