Western Nevada Fish Reports


Flows Have Dropped on The Truckee

by MATT KOLES
Flows have dropped on the Truckee River. Down to about 1,400 cfs here in the Hirsch. Not bad. That will open up a lot more water for us to fish. 1,400 k is still high, but not that far off from normal summertime flows compared to what it’s been. I’m guessing about 10 days. 4th of July, they should turn the hose off out of the

Truckee River Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP
Since my last report fishing on the Truckee River has been a little tougher than in previous weeks. Chalk it up to continual flow changes, (2500 cfs to 1600 and back to 2400 cfs) or a full moon phase, fishing was just a little off. Stability in the system will increase fishing as insect life on the Truckee River is booming!! Caddis, Little Yellow Sallys,

Truckee River Fishing Report 6-17-19

by MATT KOLES
Kinda rolling right into summer on the Truckee River.  Flows were slowly coming down. That opened up a lot more fishable water down the entire river. It was about 1,700 k here in the Hirsch. High, but a lot more user friendly than 4000 k. 2000 k here this morning. Up a bit again. I would bet on an average snow year flows right now would be,

Truckee River Fishing Report

by MATT KOLES
Not a better time to be up on the Truckee River. Weather wise, it’s perfect. Still cold at night, about in the 70’s during the day. Not too hot, not too cold. It’s always either way hot here, or way too cold, or windy. Almost never like this. Fishing, well, flows have actually come way down. Almost under 2000k here in the Hirsch. It’s been up, down,

Summer Has Finally Come!

by RENO FLY SHOP
Summer has finally come! Warmer temperatures at the lake are going to start to force fish below the thermocline as it begins to form. Surface temps this morning were 65 degrees and spiking to 70 by evening. Fishing early morning until the water reaches 68 degrees is preferred for fish health. Fish are active in the morning, tapering off until about noon when the fish escape

Truckee River Fly Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP
With all of this beautiful weather the river has swelled again over 3,000 CFS. Luckily, it has not been too turbid, and fish are still eating well in the slower water wherever you can find it. We’re starting to see some mayfly hatches, and using seining nets we’re starting to see insect diversity increase. Pale Morning Dun and baetis have been seen in the net,
