Western Nevada Fish Reports

The Truckee River is finally down to normal summertime levels, fishing is good, and the bugs are out in full force. Water temp is a perfect, 58, warming up to about 60 in the afternoons. I've done a few mornings down on the Nevada side, two states one day program, and the fishing is good down there as well. I've been using my G-6

The last few days it's been downright hot here in the Hirsch. Put the beers on ice, get the straw hat out, and put them waders away. The water is still a cool 58 degrees mid-day, and really, that's all that matters. We have plenty of it, water that is, and still the river is not at normal summertime flows. I spent a morning down

I wouldn't say it's on fire, the Truckee River, but if you have some basic skills you should be catching fish right now. Still a tad high down here in the Hirsch, but lowering daily. The upper stretches, the shire and through town, the water's low, and by mid-day starting to get piss warm. Trout migrate and so should you. Start hitting some faster pocket

It's 7/24, and today was the first day I was able to cross the river below Hirschdale. Is was a bit sketchy, but worth it. There's places that still haven't been fished since last fall, and I like to be the first. The Truckee River is still dropping slowly daily, and daily she is fishing better. A perfect 58 degrees and caddis just about everywhere.

Here in Hirschdale, she's finally under 1000 cubes. The Truckee River hasn't been this low since mid-March. Through town and along the shire it is back to normal summertime flows. There are some strong caddis hatches in the evenings all along the river, especially down here in my zone. Fish seem to be transitioning a bit and are spreading themselves out. You need to cover

Things are good here on the Truckee River, and the river is dropping slowly daily. The whole river is in great shape all the way down through Nevada. She's still above 1000 cubes here in Hirschdale and on down, but the river has seemed to adjust to the higher flows, to be honest, I kinda like it like this. The dry fly fishing is not

Ain't no place I'd rather be than on the Truckee River in summer. High's in the 70's, healthy fat fish, and it's only going to get better.

It's not on fire, but it's damn close, the Truckee River that is. Every day she's dropping and more bugs are pop'n. More and more drakes out every day, if we could get that one overcast day, it would, well, you know. Fish are munching mostly on stones and caddis. The whole river is in shape, a bit high, but clear all the way down

July 6th. Man do we have some water! All of the reservoirs that flow into the Truckee are either full or within inches of being full. This is the first time that has happened since the mid 1990's. The good news is we are charged and should get a few years of great water conditions out of this. The short term bad news is we
