Lake Tahoe Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY

Fishing for mackinaw trout has been very productive for those that have ventured out. Best areas have been the Cal/Neva drop off over to the Carnelian Bay area. Most anglers have been fishing 150 to 240 feet of water with flashers/dodgers and a live minnow. You can use an imitation minnow, but remember to use a good attractant. I prefer to use the Pro Cure

Truckee River Report

by MATT KOLES

Locked into high pressure. Mild weather for this time of year on the Truckee River. Feels about like April. Of course this mild weather warms up the water and the trouts get more active. Flows are still pretty good in both states despite the lack of snow. Seems like they’re holding water back in anticipation of another bad winter. This warm weather has got some bugs pop’n.
