Matt's Presentation
Twenty year, veteran Truckee guide, Matt Heron will be talking about fall and winter fly fishing strategies on the Truckee River—what makes it unique, how trout behave as the water gets colder, and the techniques that help you find success when conditions are tough.

He'll cover reading the water during the colder months, share his go-to flies and strategies for fall and winter. By the end, you’ll have the tools to extend your season and catch more trout in cold water.”
