The Rest of This Month Might Actually be Pretty Good.

by MATT KOLES
Snow in the forecast for Tahoe. Gotta love that. Rain for Nor Cal, gotta love that too. Really what we need fishing wise for the Truckee River. The rest of this month might actually be pretty good.  Clouds and rain are better than stagnant, clear and cold conditions. Looks like slight ridging for next week, so dry, and then maybe, just maybe a zonal jet stream for

Fishing has Really Picked up From the Shore!

by RENO FLY SHOP
Fishing has really picked up from the shore!  Early mornings and late evenings the LCT have been moving into shore and are feeding heavily with the surface temps in the mid 50’s.  The fish are eating both retrieved flies and flies on a floating line with or without an indicator.  Moderately fast retrieves without pauses has been very productive with fish following flies right up

Truckee River Fly Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP
The Truckee River has really cooled off from our last report.  The River east of the downtown gauge has been starting the day in the high 30’s and only warming to the low 40’s.  This has shut fish down until the afternoon when the water temperatures do warm.  Fish have also migrated into the pools or the very back of runs to conserve energy.  In

The next 2 months or so are generally the coldest.  When we get storms on a regular basis it is actually much
