Good Streamer Fishing on the Nevada Side of the River

by MATT KOLES

A cold cloudy week on the Truckee River. Looks like more of the same this week too. Actually, good for winter fishing. The clouds seem to keep things warmer. Like a blanket so to speak over the river. Good streamer fishing on the Nevada side of the river. East through the Nature Conservancy we had a couple really good days. Brown trout are post spawn. They are

Best Time to Fish Right Now Noon to 3-ish

by PYRAMID LAKE GUIDES

Water temps are consistently dropping, heading towards the coldest part of the season. The fishing is good for big fish, numbers are not typically high during December but when anglers do get one to the net it’s typically good quality by means of size. Indicator fishing has been more productive than stripping. It appears that the best time to fish right now is during the

Topaz Lake

by DOUG BUSEY

Hello fellow anglers, It is snowing every where. Which means that many roads in Alpine county have finally closed for the season. With our recent storms brings ice on some of our surrounding lakes and ponds. I strongly recommend to stay off of the ice, even though our temperatures have plummeted, the ice is very thin and is very dangerous this time of year. The

Truckee River Fly Fishing Report

by MATT KOLES

Looking good on top. Guessing we got over 4 feet in most upper elevation spots this last week. Maybe some more snow around the 10th, but for now, cold this week until the weekend. Cold duster coming in mid-week, not much snow, probably just enough to mess up the driveway. Cold here in the Hirsch, not much snow, maybe a few inches hanging around. We get shadowed

The Lake has Been Producing Massive Fish

by RENO FLY SHOP

The lake has been producing massive fish in the past few weeks!! Surface temps are in the high 40’s to low 50’s and the big fish are taking advantage of the colder water. This is the period of the season that we would consider the middle season. Fishing has been about a fish or two an hour, but most of the fish are 6-8 pounds

Fish are Holding in Moderate to Slower Water

by RENO FLY SHOP

Fish are holding in moderate to slower water, and hugging the bottom. Focusing on pockets and inside seams can prove very productive. European style nymphing will be the most productive by providing sensitivity to light takes. If the water slows down considerably it might be best to throw on an indicator to get a good drift. With smaller flies, adding weight to your rig is key

Fishing is Generally Really Good When the River Comes Up

by MATT KOLES

A little rain and snow for the Truckee River. Much warmer and much better fishing the last few days. We just needed a little weather to kinda stir things up a bit. Couple feet of snow up top and mostly rain here in the Hirsh. Not enough rain to blow out the river, but much needed. Flows are about the same as last week all over the
