Truckee River Fly Fishing Report

by MATT KOLES
Rolling right into summer on the Truckee River. Thing is though, we still have a mid-April snowpack. However, it does look like monsoon season is over. It’s rained every day for the last 2 weeks.

Truckee River Fishing Report-5-27-19

by MATT KOLES
More rain and snow. Good for fishing, not much fun for anything else. I’ve been mostly down on the Nevada side of the Truckee River just to get out of the rain, that, and I have the whole place to myself. Good solid fishing. Normally, I’d be done floating the river down there around this time just because it’s too hot, not this year. Flows have remained steady
