Can You Still Catch and Release Macks After Catching a Limit?

Lake Tahoe

by CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FISH & WILDLIFE

Question: When fishing for mackinaw trout on Lake Tahoe, how is it legal to clearly video yourself catching six fish but then giving them away to your buddies? The limit for macks is two fish, but in this video the person keeps one on the stringer and then gives the rest away to his buddies until they all have limits together. I am assuming that if he’s posting

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Good solid fishing on the Truckee River. Some rain and snow this last weekend, ugh. I guess by this weekend it will be nice again. Flows have dropped to under 3000 k. About 2,700 here in the Hirsch. Little lower through Reno and about 3000 k through the Conservancy. They were 1000 cfs higher last week. Flows haven’t been this low in months, and it’s still big. Crazy,

2 Weeks Left In The Season

Pyramid Lake

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

As the fish now remain in shallow water and paired up for spawn this can be a very fun but also frustrating time to fish here as you can see them but they can be very tight lipped. Please avoid targeting actively spawning fish here so they can eventually establish a self-sustaining population. Best fishing during mornings and evenings as it warms to the mid

Truckee is Running High and Clear

Truckee River

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

As anticipated, the Truckee River is still running high. However, most of the water is coming from dam releases making the river run clear. The main game is still mostly nymphing or tossing streamers. With the continuing large water, big “attractor” nymphs like rubberlegs or worms have been best. Pheasant tails in a size 12-14 also do a good job imitating the march browns. Streamers

Nice Big Spring Flows

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Great last week on the Truckee River. We had a great clinic this weekend. Look for some more in the future. Nice big spring flows. Flows have dropped just a bit the last few days. Mainly it’s just what they’re doing with the reservoirs, not so much the run off that’s making the flows. If you noticed Boca is low as they are working on the dam. Yeah,
