Truckee River

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.

Pyramid Lake

by MIKE CURTIS

June 1st. The water temps are up in the high 50's now. Fish are starting to cruise in really shallow water. There have been some awesome days and some slow days mixed in.
