Cleanup

We love the unloved places on the Truckee River.

For the last three years, the Annual Trash and Cast cleanup has been held on the banks of the Truckee River at Mustang. Due to the upstream urban environment, this stretch of river receives a yearly deposit of trash each time spring runoff increases the flows in the river. Every side channel and bank holds a city’s worth of trash come June and July.

They also hold gorgeous trout like this.
