Geocache Description:

Trophy Section: The Truckee River and diversion ditches above the I-80 bridge, upstream from Crystal Peak Park in Verdi, to the California state line where the limit is 2 trout and 10 mountain whitefish. Minimum size for trout is 14 inches. Only artificial lures with single barbless hooks may be used.

This cache is for the exchanging of Truckee River trout flies used in the trophy section of the river. Please file or crimp the barb of any fly left in the cache. If you take a fly, please leave a fly and note in your log what was exchanged and any “fish stories” you’ve had while fishing the river with that particular fly.

The fly I left is a black size 6 gold bead-headed stonefly nymph. This fly tends to not get may hits from the smaller fish and is best used in the deep pools downstream of large boulders in the river.

There is a small parking area off Old Highway 40 at N39.30.774 W119.59.853. Park there and enjoy the walk and wildlife to the cache. You will not need to get wet or cross any fences if you take the nature trail from this parking area. This cache can easily become a “4 Star” terrain if you choose to try it from a different direction, which is not advised.

Access: The Truckee River has been designated a “navigable water” which means that the state of Nevada owns the bed of the Truckee up to the “present ordinary permanent high water mark”. Basically, this means that the bed of the river is public land, however, individuals may not cross private property to get to the river.

The cache container is not waterproof, so please make sure the log is baggy’d correctly and leave the cache as found. Extra baggies were left in the cache.
