This is what it looks like when the Watermaster drops the river by 250 CFS in 90 minutes.
THANK YOU!
First and foremost, we want to thank you all for using the internet for what it does best, getting the word out! We’ve had an overwhelming and supportive response from trout lovers near and far: CalTrout, Moldy Chum, and Lost Coast Outfitters to name a few.
Secondly, many of you have emailed asking about the Reno Fly Shop appearing in local press talking about the “hoot owl closure”. To be clear, we haven’t been contacted by the Reno Fly Shop and they were not involved with any aspect of our video or this blog. While it’s confusing why they would take credit for what the small but scrappy readership of this blog has done, the main thing is that the word gets out and we give the trout a fighting chance.
If you want to fish the Truckee, hire a seasoned guide to help you find stretches where they have enough water to safely catch and release. Alternatively, here is a good post over at one of our partner blogs describing other options to scratch your fishing itch.
We are deeply grateful for your support and voice!

I was confused as they called it a “Hoot Hour Closure”. Thought it might have been a different movement. At least the message is getting out there.
Pretty funny. The main thing is to protect the resource…and we’ll thank anyone who helps paint this town a darker shade of awareness.
