Truckee River Update

by MATT KOLES

Cold nights, mild days on the Truckee River. Not a lot of change since last report. Flows and fishing and weather remains basically the same. We have pushed some big fish around on streamers lately. That time of year. Seems like the fishing has been better and trouts willing to chase after the water warms a little bit. We haven’t really had any weather, so it’s not

Truckee River is Solid

by MATT KOLES

Cold nights, mild days. Should cool more this week with high’s only in the 50’s. Nights will be in the upper teens. So, the best fishing should be mid-day at least on the Cali side. The Nevada side stays warmer, but both sides have been fishing well, all around, any time. Flows are still above average for October and should remain good into winter. 388 cfs

Access is wide open here now and fish will be found everywhere throughout the system.

East Walker River Fish Report

East Walker River (NV)

by JIM REID

The East is down to around 260 cfs now and is starting to liven up. We’ve been getting some very good reports and of course some that are not so good as well. It’s still very technical fishing so you need to be on your game to get into decent numbers of fish. The fish that are being caught are mostly in the 12 to

Topaz Lake Fish Report

by DOUG BUSEY

Fishing in between rain storms has been a challenge this week. My advice is to get up there early and leave early. Tom and I fished from 6 am to 2 pm on Wednesday. We fished Rapalas and Needlefish lures. The bite was fair and we caught and released 17 fish ranging from 12 inches to a few pounds. We also kept 2 fish in
