Fishing is finally getting better on the Truckee River NEW

by MATT KOLES / Gilligan's Fly Service
Fishing is finally getting better on the Truckee River. That time of year when you get cool/ cold mornings, and hot afternoons. Fishing will always be best mid-mornings now.  Flows have remained pretty good. 480, here in Hirschdale, and on down the river.  We've made it through the dog days. It was hot this Summer. Fishing should steadily get better as we move into Fall.  You probably won't

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The temps along most of the Truckee have dropped, but we are seeing warmer weather again this week, which has caused about a degree or so increase every day. On Wednesday we saw the Farad gauge hit 68 degrees once again, so please continue to carry a thermometer with you. With the bright, sunny days again this week, the bigger flies have been a bit

Flows are still really great for this time of the year

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
Flows measuring 279 CFS out of Tahoe City, 282 CFS through the town of Truckee, 304 CFS in the Glenshire area, and 503 CFS near Farad. Flows are still really great for this time of the year and the watermaster is still releasing a good bit of water from Lake Tahoe into the Upper Truckee River. Rising water temperatures make fishing mid-day stressful for the

The lake level is still dropping, in just one week, the level went down another 5 or so feet

by DOUG BUSEY / Carson Now
The lake level is still dropping. In just one week, the level went down another 5 or so feet. That makes it nice to drive right down to the boat-launch area and back right in. I trolled the lake on all sides with various sizes of Rapalas and a few flies. I toplined and took them deep. After four hours without a bite for trout, I

Lake Tahoe Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY / Carson Now
The fishing has been slow for most anglers. Some have been fishing off either Cave Rock or in the Camp Richardson area. I spoke to a longtime friend who has fished the lake for years. He has always done well on the shelf off Ski Run, but this year it hasn't been so good. Most anglers have been pulling a dodger and a live minnow close to

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY / Riviera Marina
Our local angler, Steve Beasley, landed a nice largemouth bass while fishing from his boat. He was using a jig that usually produces a striper or two. We have a great largemouth and smallmouth bass population up on Lake Mohave. These fish are considered sport fish, and most anglers practice catch-and-release with them. Anglers go as far as using live wells to keep their fish healthy

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY / Riviera Marina
Our local angler, Steve Beasely, landed a couple of nice stripers while trolling on Lake Mohave near Davis Dam. He was using a jig to land these fish, and other anglers are also getting a few stripers on anchovies and swim baits. Here along the shores of the Colorado River below Davis Dam, anchovies have been producing very well. We have a lot of great spots
