This is what they call "Prime Time" fishing on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

This is it folks, right now until the end on November on the Cali side. After that it will be to cold and you will be bummed you didn't get up here this fall. By the end of November, I'll pretty much only be fishing the Nevada side. The Nevada side is fishing very good right now too. It is only going to get

What it like to guide on the Truckee when it's Easy

by MATT KOLES

Hard to believe I got paid for the last couple days on the Truckee River. It's nice when the fish cooperate, and the dudes in the boat fish cool. Had some young hands that fished every inch of water, and some old hands that can still work the water. Good times, with good bull shitting and fishing. Thanks guys.

It's still too warm for the fishing to really pick up on the Truckee

by MATT KOLES

Seems like Indian Summer has kicked in. Usually does this time of year. Nights are cool and getting longer, and fishing is improving on the Truckee River. Still a bit warm in the afternoons, but mornings are perfect. Fish seem to be chowing on small crayfish, small baitfish, stones, and baetis. Look down at your feet, that will give you a clue. Really though, the

Learn all the Secrets of the Truckee from Gilligan

by MATT KOLES

I think being a good guide means keeping no secrets. I share everything. All my secret spots, all my flies, and techniques. I keep nothing from anyone who comes on a guided trip. I don't save water to go fish with my friends the next day, or take people to the same generic place that everyone else goes. Around here that would be the Glenshire

The flows are down on the Truckee & there are the same number of fish, now is a good time to fish

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

Although nighttime air temperatures have been way cooler the last couple of weeks around the town of Truckee, daytime temperatures have still been very warm. This has kept the water temps. up and slowed the normal fall changes to the fishing. The flows have been cut way back out of Lake Tahoe and most of the water in the system is coming from Boca Reservoir.

Look for more Brown Trout during the fall fishing

by MATT KOLES

Labor Day weekend has come and gone, the unofficial end of summer. The beginning of good fall fishing on the Truckee River has begun. Flows are still up 250 cfs through Truckee, 480 through Hirschdale, and about 350 in and outside of Reno. Look for the water to get drastically low through Truckee down to the inlet of the Little Truckee River at Boca in

Now the real fishing begins on the Truckee

by MATT KOLES

The party's over. Labor Day weekend has come and gone. The unofficial end of summer. Hirschdale was a ghost town today. If you did come up to the Truckee-Tahoe area thanks for visiting and patronising local businesses. Hopefully, you managed to stick a few on the Truckee River. Now the real fishing begins. Not that we were playing around or anything, but fall is always

The Pyramid Lake (NV) prognostication

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

Pyramid opens to fishing again on October 1st. Although it can be really good right out of the gate, it usually gets better sometime in November as the water temperatures cool. Schools of Tui Chubs cruise the lake and kind of help predict where the fish might be. Fall is the time of year that you have to find bait and fish and move around

As the fall rolls around, look for the Brown trout to be more active on the Truckee

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

The flows on the Truckee have been very consistent all summer. There is still plenty of water storage in Lake Tahoe so look for the water conditions to be very similar through September. As the water cools and the summer traffic settles down, look for the water to get cleaner and clearer than ever. The river is already starting to take on a

As August moves on Truckee River fishing should improve

by MATT KOLES

Glad that August is almost over. The heat, early wake up calls, crowds, rafters. August is my least favorite month to be a guide on the Truckee River. We do get some nice fish, but it's a hard month to consistently find fish. They get on the move. One day they're there, the next day they're not. They go looking for cool water, they eat
