Truckee River Fishing Report

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

The water is cold and the fish are in their winter hiding places. The slower moving water and deeper pools are where most fish spend the winter months. There is not as much available food so the fish tend to hunker down a little. That said the fishing can still be pretty good this time of year. A lot of big fish are caught on

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

The river has been fishing well all year. The water is a little lower now and much easier to wade. The fish are starting to move into the bigger slower pools for the winter.

East Carson River Fishing Report

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

Flows are 105 CFS. Great flows for this time of year. The access is going to be the biggest issue as the snowpack starts to pile up. If you are going to go the East Carson now would be a good idea. Nymphing with very small nymphs like as on the East Carson is a good way to start.
