The Evening Seems to be the Best Time to Fish the Truckee

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

The Flows Conditions are starting to stabilize on the Truckee. Flows are coming down every day and the upper river is in excellent shape. The section from Tahoe City to Truckee is very fishable right now as flows in the town of Truckee are down to 269 CFS. From Truckee to Boca Bridge the flows have come way down as well and getting better every day.

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

Flows have been off the charts. They are currently at 1140 CFS but they are coming down daily. It should be a couple more weeks before the run-off settles down and the East Carson becomes fishable.

The Truckee Is Run'n Fast, But the Streamer Bite Is Still Good

by MATT KOLES

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

Summertime on the Truckee, after some fish

by MATT KOLES

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.

The Truckee is Damn Close, as the Flows Receed & Warmer Days Come...More Bugs Are Seen

by MATT KOLES

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

Oh! Just a Another Typical Truckee Brown Trout

by MATT KOLES

"Gilligan's" buddy Micheal has been trying to get him to take him out for about three years now. Everytime he comes it snows, or the rivers blown, or we're just to lazy to put the waders on. Even though he's a city kid, he ain't to bad with the graphite. Michael grew up near the Henry's Fork, and this is the biggest trout he's caught.

The Truckee is fishing well right now, but as the flows drop it will get even better

Flows are tough on the Truckee right now but the runoff is setting us up for a good season

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

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
