Truckee River Fishing Report

by MATT KOLES
Little cooler temps this week than last, and finally, a few afternoon thunderstorms helping to cool things off. August is always kinda rough with the hot weather, and smart picky trout full of crayfish in their bellies. That being said, we still have very good flows and we are almost to the end of the month. Nights will cool dramatically and before you know it fall

Big Truckee River Fishing Report

With the current flows concentrate your efforts in the deeper pools in the AM, move into the faster seams and riffles into the afternoon and then back into the pools in the evening when trout are feeding on the surface for Yellow Sallies, Caddis, and PED's.

Little warm up here again. Descent fishing one day, not so good the next. Dog days of August I guess. Best thing to do is get out in the mornings and nymph with some crayfish, or caddis and mayfly type combo. Cover some water and make sure you fish the heads of runs/ pools and the fast pocket water slots. It’s also hopper time, you may

Flows in Mogul are about 266 and holding prett steady, Previously this week, we put out a chart of the temperatures out of Sparks (yes, a different location, but a good place to start) Watch those temps on the river, start looking around 11 am, and check every 30 minutes. (take a break, drink some water) Fishing pretty well on the California side.

Topaz Lake Fishing Report

by ANGLER'S EDGE FLY SHOP
Topaz Lake is still good. Still getting nice reports at the inlet area and have gotten reports that the bass are still very active along the rocky shelves. The bass will certianly hit 'big unglies', buggers, dead drift cray fish. THE CARP are leaving the shallows, but can still be targeted in that southern area. (if you haven't

In the early morning go for a dry dropper set up of a caddis (Elk Hair) with a zebra midge (black) drop.

Spooner Lake Fishing Report

by ANGLER'S EDGE FLY SHOP
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. Not much has changed since last week's report: 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)

Truckee River Fishing Report
