Truckee River Update

by MATT KOLES

Summers rolling right along. Good flows on the Truckee River and Little Truckee River, warm weather, and good consistent fishing. Looks like we’ll have another heat wave to get through and than maybe a monsoonal flow, thunderstorms next week, something we have not had so far this summer. Flows are good, something we have not had in two years and the fish and the fishing are great.

Spooner Lake Fish Report

Spooner Lake

by LIZ WEIRAUCH

A PERSONAL NOTE: catch a chub, KILL IT.. This lake has become so over populated with chub, that the trout there are competing for food. Damsels, zebra midges, copper johns, PT's buggers in white, olive, zug bugs, princes. If you see lips: Para Adams, Trico. Just want to catch ANY fish (chub) use a zug bug... it's a guaranteed take.
