Cool weather helping Truckee

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS

River is skinny through the general regulation section. Through Truckee the river is running at 20 cfs. There’s a bit of spring run-off and it won’t last long. Water temperature is in good shape because of cool nights and days. Tahoe Fly Fishing Outfitters (530) 587-4844. Mountain Hardware & Sports (530) 587-4844

Pyramid cutthroat spawn over

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS

Truckee River trout challenging

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS

Tahoe producing browns, macks

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS

Brown trout continue to be on the chew on Tahoe falling to well-presented Shadow Raps. Most trips are yielding 4 to 7 browns and mix of rainbows and lakers. Overall bite is good. Some macks to 20 pounds have been landed recently. Mike Nielsen (530) 721-0593 www.tahoetopliners.com

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS

Smallmouth bass bite is very good. A good number of 3 to 4 pounders are being caught-and-released. Action is on the southeast side of the lake.

Spawn on, bite down at Pyramid

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS

Truckee trout worth chasing

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS

River is low along the Glenshire stretch. Flow is at 490 cfs past Boca. River will be a little off-color for the next few days but it shouldn't hurt fishing. Fishing has been quite good and that should resume. Blue wing olives and some stonefly action is taking place. There were some March browns but snow will halt that. Tahoe Fly Fishing Outfitters (530) 587-4844.

Time is now for Tahoe browns

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS

Fishing for brown trout in the shallows has been productive. Guide Mike Nielsen had 11 browns on two trips Tuesday. Most trips get 3 to 8 browns weighing between 2 and 4 pounds.

Tournament this Weekend

by JON BAIOCCHI

Pyramid Lake is in great shape, and with another wimpy winter it is about a month ahead of schedule. The fishing has been extremely good, especially if there is wind blowing in your face on that particular beach you are fishing. That's the key to fishing this ancient lake; an east wind, clouds, and periods of low light really produce. When you have conditions like that,
