Outline:
We stay at two houses from members in Tahoe Donner, Truckee. We fish the local rivers like the Truckee river, Little Truckee river and Prosser Creek. We will have to sleep a few on mattresses in the game room to facilitate 15 people. Both houses are nice, with multiple bathrooms, pool tables and all the facilities to make it a comfortable stay. If you have a house in the area and want to join the party please contact us.
Drive up on Friday and if you are early check out and fish the area. Fishing reports comes closer to the fishout.
On Friday evening we have appetizers, pizza and salads at EJ's house and decide where we go on Saturday. We usually pick up breakfast and a snack at the Wild Cherries on Saturday morning before we had out to the rivers. Rainbows, browns, whitefish and sometimes Kokanee salmon will be the species we catch, average 10-18 inches, but trophies are possible with browns in the system reaching 30+ inches.
On Saturday night we have a BBQ at Rich Slade’s house. We will fire up the BBQ and cook the steaks, brats, veggies, burgers and breasts to perfection and serve it with condiments and goodies.
Sunday is flexible, some folks fish all day, some leave half way and some leave early in the morning. Whatever works for you. More details, addresses, etc will follow after the registration.
