Truckee River Fly Fishing Guide, Tahoe, Truckee, Reno - Matt “Gilligan” Koles

The son of a diehard fisherman Matt began fly fishing the waters of the Eastern Sierra and Tahoe Region when he was 13. As a guide, Gilligan brings to the river over 25 years of experience fishing and tying flies for Truckee River trout. Gilligan’s Guide Service runs trips year round on the Truckee River and Little Truckee River, two of the finest trout fisheries in the state, and also the Truckee River in Nevada West and East of Reno, one of the West’s best kept secrets. Gill loves to guide anglers of all abilities, and has the equipment to outfit first timers for whatever fishing excursion holds their interest. Gilligan offers half-day, full day, and float trips. Gilligan resides in Hirschdale California along the banks of the Truckee River and is the authority on catching Truckee River Trout.
