On Oct. 5, less than a week after the remnants of Hurricane Helene ravaged the Southeast, fishing was not an option.
The indicator dipped below the milky green waters of Northern Nevada’s Truckee River. Riley Roberts pulled hard on his 10-foot 4-weight. He looked at the water through the green mirror of his sunglasses.
