Western Nevada Fish Reports

Robert got this baby on his third cast today. Sometimes the Truckee River kicks some monsters out. 30 inches of brown trout. Robert put the wood to this monster and we landed him before the fish took off into fast water. Good job Robert. Nights have cooled, and the river is starting to fish again.

The flows on the River spiked yesterday from a monster thunderstorm in the Truckee area. It should not affect the river for very long and should be back to normal by the time you read this. What it has done is given the river a shot of cold water and stirred things up a bit after some very consistent flows over the past couple of

Though it's hot, she's still kicking out fish, the Truckee River that is. Get out early, fish to lunch or so, and get off the water. Crays fished on a tip, or under an indo are the big producers, followed by golden stones sz#2-6. Put a small caddis, baetis, or pmd dropper of the back. Fast oxygenated water is the key this time of year.

We're in the midst of another heat wave here on the Truckee River. Dam hot in the afternoons. Windy too. Come on folks, give the fish a break, don't fish to them in the afternoons when the water is up near 70 degrees. Get on the water early, get off, have lunch and a beer, go again near dark. Repeat that process until it cools

Truckee River (Ca) Fishing Report- Flows on the Truckee are above 389+ CFS near the town of Truckee and 503+ CFS below Boca Bridge. August 7, 2012 Open above the 267 Bridge. There is a lot of water but the caddis and mayfly hatches in the evenings should bring fish to the surface in the slower sections. Year round section below 267. The fishing became much more

Nice set of double rainbows for Justin from the lone star state of Texas. To bad we missed that once in lifetime brown trout. Fishing is good if you know where to look. Seems like these fish have been on the move lately. One day they're there, next day they're not. This is the time of year when hatches are waning down, caddis, pmds,

It's hot, weather wise up here. It's been a hot dry summer. The fishing is still good on the Truckee River. I wouldn't say it's off the charts great, but we're getting into them. Historically, July is the warmest month of the year in Tahoe-Truckee. In August days start getting a bit shorter, nights longer, and by the end of this month I'll be scrambling

The flows on the Truckee continue to be very consistent from Tahoe City through Reno. Most of the water is still coming out of Lake Tahoe. It is on the warm side and the afternoons are still a little slow. The best part is Wet Wading. Mornings continue to be the best time to be on the river. The evening hatches are all but

Been good in the mornings, crappy in the afternoons. Dog days of summer? Yes, and no. If you hit it early and fish the right kind of water you'll have success. If you cruise out there at 2 in the afternoon, you'll be a bit bummed. Both the Cali, and Nevada side of the river are fishing good. Fish have got crayfish, stones, and caddis

Been lagging a little on the posts mostly because it's been a busy week. I've had friends in town, guiding, bbq's, summertime Truckee kind of stuff. The river is good if you get out there in the mornings, shitty in the afternoons, and descent in the evenings. Crays, stones, caddis, sallys, put them in your fly box if you want success on the Truckee River.

Heading in to our third week of July the river is in great shape. Flows are still up out of Tahoe for the booze crew, and above 500 cubes in the Hirsch and below. Perfect. Cooler daytime temps and colder overnight temps have put the water temps back into the higher 50's during start time. Afternoons have been a windy proposition as of late. Crays,

The flows have been really consistent over the past couple of weeks from Tahoe City down through Reno. Wet wading season is in full swing as summer conditions are in place. There are still plenty of bugs hatching in the evenings and we are on the doorstep of Crayfish season. If you look at the flows on the river you will see that

My buddy Morten from Norway made it up to Truckee for a few days. Not really sure if Vikings are from Norway, but I know he likes Whale meat. He catches some big ass Atlantic Salmon back home on the two handers, so tackling some Truckee trout wasn't a problem. We lost some nice fish and caught some small ones, typical Truckee River style. Stoked

Damn fine my friends, the fishing that is, here on the Truckee River. It's been great on the Cali side in the mornings. If you're fishing the right water, you will be on fish. Gotta fish the fast stuff. Stones, crays, caddis, and sallys. The G-6 pupa is still getting the bulk of my work done, olive and tan. Dry dropper rigs have been effective
