Very healthy wild trout!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The health of the wild trout in the Truckee River is about as good as we’ve ever seen thanks mostly to a series of good water years. This doesn’t mean that fishing on the Truckee will be easy, because it never is. It does mean that the quality and numbers are there and when we combine that with the excellent conditions on the river right

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY / Riviera Marina
Our local angler and friend, Mike Merritt, recently landed a limit of striped bass. Fishing from an island and using anchovies as bait, Mike put together an impressive stringer of fish. These smaller-sized stripers are easy to clean and make excellent fish tacos, along with plenty of other great meals. There are many productive spots for striper fishing below Davis Dam on the Colorado River, and

Conditions have changed quickly

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The conditions have changed quickly here on the Truckee as the releases out of the reservoirs taper off and we see flows settle into their average range. In Glenshire, we are looking at 375 CFS this week, which is near perfect for this section of river, especially as water temps rise and the fish nose up into pocket water, of which there is an abundance

2.6-pound Bluegill

by RUSTY / Riviera Marina
Now that's a nice panfish! This beauty was brought in by local angler Patrick Pauli. I'm confident it's a bluegill, although it looks similar to the redear sunfish we see in our waters. Patrick was using a small spinner when he landed this impressive 2.6-pound bluegill, measuring 14 5/8 inches in length. It could even be a Nevada state record! He caught it in the Back
