Western Nevada Fish Reports

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

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

I think I've made it through the dog days of August. Morning lows in the Hirsch are in the high 30's once again. Bring a jacket if you start early. You'll be in the shade and in the wind early morning anywhere in the canyons. Both sides are fishing well. The prolific hatches of early summer are gone. Not as many bugs on the

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
