Our speaker this month is Miles Zimmerman.  He is a fly-fishing guide, signature fly-tyer for Umpqua Feather Merchants and co-owner of Trout Creek Outfitters (TCO) in Truckee, a fly-shop that first opened in 2020.  Prior to joining TCO Miles worked the fly-fishing department at a local “mountain” hardware store.  The point being that Miles has spent a number of years in the Truckee area; time that has been well-spent fishing, tying flies, guiding and generally helping fly-fishers.

TCO is a full-service fly shop that has been in Truckee for more than 5 years.  It carries rods, reels, lines, waders, boots, accessories and apparel.  It also has a rental department, which is kind of cool when you remember your waders are still hanging in the garage.  Another cool thing is that TCO has an on-line store with free shipping for orders over $100.

With its local expertise TCO can offer a variety of half-day and full-day fly-fishing experiences.  These include walk & wade trips along local moving waters and float trips on the Truckee, not to mention several stillwater options. For reference, that big trout that Miles is holding in the picture is from Pyramid Lake.

TCO is located on Truckee’s main street. OK, OK.  It is located on Truckee’s only main street at 10115 Donner Pass Road to be exact.  They are easy to find because they are near the train station. Check‘em out the next time you’re in the area.  There are no excuses for not stopping because they are open 7 days a week.

Miles’ presentation will provide keen insights into some of our most beautiful local waters, as well as the services that Trout Creek Outfitters can provide.  Avoid the rush, get to the clubhouse early!
