Trout Unlimited || Sierra Trout Camp 2018
Another year, another successful Sierra Trout Camp!
Now in its 7th year, the two-day camp is run by TU's Truckee River chapter/Public Land Staff and is held in the Sierras just north of Lake Tahoe. Local guides and experienced fly fishermen pass on their knowledge and skills to youth from all over the state to create a strong platform for the young guns to build their skills upon. At Sierra Trout Camp, kids participate in activities such as casting practice, fly tying, knot tying, and aquatic insect identification. Our instructors also spend time going over the preservation of ecosystems, as the other purpose of the camp is to teach the kids about the importance of conservation and protecting our fisheries.
These activities take up the majority of the first day; once they are completed, the students are paired up with instructors and get to fish private waters that are managed by Matt Heron Fly Fishing and Tahoe Fly Fishing Outfitters. Almost the entire second day of camp is spent fishing, and the students continue to hone their fly fishing skills.
If you would like to help keep the tradition alive and support the next generation of anglers and conservationists (or just would like more information about the camp), contact Samuel Sedillo at samuel.sedillo@tu.org / (408) 718-9897

3 Tricks To Catch More Fish With Finesse Swimbaits
Finesse swimbaits are awesome! These little paddle tails get bit every month of the year and they catch way bigger bass than most anglers realize. If you aren't using them, you're missing out on some of the easiest bites you can get. Simple adjustments to cadence and head design will make the baits even more effective. Come along as Tim explains exactly how to maximize your time with small swimbaits.
Tim has a handful of heads he uses to really dial in his finesse swimbaits. He adjusts head selection with the size of the bait, depth he's fishing, and water clarity. (Underspin for muddy water, Okashira for Ultra finesse tactics, and a mix of Guppy and TacticalBassin Finesse swimbait heads for all the standard clear to murky water fishing.) He combines those heads with 3 different cadences that help him maximize his time on the water. By adjusting cadence he is able to keep catching fish on small swimbaits when most anglers have given up.
The finesse swimbait is truly deadly in Winter. It will work today and will continue to work all the way through the spawn. Below is a breakdown of the baits, heads, and Gear Tim is using to catch bass on finesse swimbaits.
