Western Nevada Fish Reports

The reservoir is currently at 110,000 acre feet, therefore the Boat Docks on the Silver Springs side of the park have been pulled for the season. The dock at North Shore Marina will remain in the water until approximately 90,000 acre feet.

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

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

While we still expect water temps to exceed 68 degrees along a majority of the river this week, the ambient temps have already helped a good bit to cool things down. The section that will hold the best temps will be in the canyon, I.E. Hirschdale to the Nevada state line. If fishing upstream of the Boca confluence or in Nevada, continue to focus on

Water temps here on the Truckee are hitting the 68-degree threshold daily along most of the river, with maybe the exception of right below the confluence of Boca Reservoir. Please focus on fishing during the early morning hours and bring a thermometer with you, to know when to call it quits. At least as the days continue to get shorter, the starts can get a

Hot is the word on the Truckee River. Big heat wave all over the West right now.  Get your asses out there early if you want any good trout fishing. The window is early and not for long. Meaning after about 11:00, put a fork in it.  (Trout are cold blooded creatures. They need cold clean water. When the water gets above a certain temperature, say 67,

A HAB Watch Advisory has been issued for Washoe Lake. If you're planning to fish, you're encouraged to choose another location until testing is complete. If you do fish at Washoe Lake, thoroughly clean your catch before eating. See Nevada State Parks' post below for more information.

The Farad gauge has been hitting 68 Degrees daily, and the Sparks gauge has been showing upwards of 75! At these temps, the best place to fish will be anywhere from Hirschdale to the Nevada stateline where temps on the river will be at their coldest. The name of the game will be fishing from sunup until a bit after noon. If you are still
