The Truckee Has Been Consistent!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee has seen consistent flows here on the California side, with Glenshire Bridge sitting at 150 CFS, and Farad around 450. We have seen a slight change in flows on the Nevada side in both Mogul and Sparks, where flows have come up around 40 CFS. While we are not certain, we suspect this change is coming from less water going into diversions for

The shore bite has fully kicked off at Pyramid

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The shore bite has fully kicked off at Pyramid and the action remains consistent throughout the day. The best windows for fishing being from sunup until 1:00 and then from 3:00 to dark. We are seeing some good numbers right now, with the average angler catching 3-6 fish a day, and good odds of finding a couple over 10 pounds. When fishing out here Wednesday,

Overall, the Truckee continues to fish well

November is a good streamer month

by MATT KOLES

Welp, Indian Summer if officially over on the Truckee River. Embrace Winter because it's coming. The great news, November is a good streamer month. I heart fishing streamers. We start getting those big post-spawn brown trout. Of course nymphing can be good too. You have to start targeting the frog water. They move into a bit faster water to feed as the water warms mid-day, but

Good Numbers of Fish!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Last week we saw a slight increase in flows along the Glenshire section of the Truckee as Donner Lake begins to get lowered for the winter. Donner Creek is currently adding another 50 CFS to this upper stretch of the river, increasing the flows to around 150 CFS at the Glenshire Bridge. At these flows, we should see fishing get a bit better with the

The season has been pretty good so far!

by THE FLY SHOP

More people are heading to Pyramid and the season has been pretty good so far. We are looking forward to when the lake cools off and you can bring a ladder to fish the close drop offs. Fish are still deep, so you will need a water craft such as a pontoon, float tube, or Boston Whaler. Bring your full-sink line and a fish finder

The lake level has been going down about a foot a week

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake level has been going down about a foot a week, it is down 8 feet from this time last year. NDOW has recently planted the lake with 6400 lbs of trout. I would recommend trolling small flashers with a half a night crawler 12 inches behind the blades. Raplas have been very productive on the west and north end of the lake. Special

Pyramid Lake Conditions Report

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

Wow, the weather has been pretty fantastic. We have had a few days here and there of heavy wind and a minor cold snap, but that is all completely normal for this time of year. The one thing that we did experience was a pretty gnarly lake turnover/algae bloom, again, normal for this time of year. It was a little heavier than average, but no

OTW | Pyramid Lake | late October 2024

by RENO FLY SHOP

Reno Fly Shop guide Mike Anderson, @mt_anderson, with your in the water report from Pyramid Lake 10/23/24. Shore fishing is picking up! Indicator fishing has been best with most fish caught from a depth of 10-12 feet. The retrieve bite has been slower, but that will change as the fish transition from deep to shallow water and once the full moon decreases more later this week. Flies

After this next storm passes, we may begin to see a consistent shore bit

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The algae bloom last week has mostly broken up, and as this storm moves in and we pass the last full moon, we hope to see the shore fishing continue to improve. We have heard rumors that the fish are starting to transition into shallower water with some regularity. After this next storm passes, we may begin to see a consistent shore bite. Until then,

The cold weather this week has made the water temps drop on the river

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The cold weather this week has made the water temps drop on the river, and we are now seeing them in the 48-54 degree range at the Farad gauge. This will certainly begin to move the fish into slower water and make them more active in the afternoons. The great thing about this time of year is we have the luxury of sleeping in, and

Most of the fish are being caught near the 70-foot mark feeding on chubs

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

At Pyramid Lake, most of the recent algae bloom has broken up with the heavy winds that came through this past weekend. There may be a few scattered patches that are tough to fish, but overall, the water clarity is much better. Most of the fish are being caught near the 70-foot mark feeding on chubs. The shallow water bite can be hit or miss.

Excellent fall weather the Truckee has been experiencing

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Water Conditions The Truckee River is currently offering excellent, fall fishing conditions. With water temperatures between 56 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit, the fish are active during any part of the day. While the flows in the upper river might be low, they gain momentum significantly at the Boca Confluence. With cloudy skies and cooler weather, now is the ideal time to get out and enjoy the

Angler Report: Pyramid Lake

by FISH REPORTS STAFF

Sam checked in with us from a recent trip to Pyramid Lake. Here is his report: "Made my first boat trip to Pyramid on Monday, the 14th. What a blast. Put in water at around 745 and had my first fish just after 8, a beautiful 13.5 pound cutthroat. We stayed out until 11 and we wound up with 6 fish.The last fish was caught by

Finally Some Cold Weather for the Truckee!

by MATT KOLES

Finally some cold weather for the Truckee River. Was a hot ass early fall. Now that we have some more typical fall weather, we can actually do some fall fishing. Meaning, you can target different types of water, and use different approaches. It's below freezing at night, at least on the Ca side, so starting really early may not be best. Look for fish in softer water

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid Lake has been dealing with a significant algae bloom over the last week or so, which has particularly effected the north end of the lake. This is a bit strange for this time of year, as this is usually a problem seen in lakes during the summer months, but given how warm this October has been, it makes sense. We hope with the colder

The Truckee is in prime shape in the canyon section of the river

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee is in prime shape in the canyon section of the river. The Glenshire area remains low but is still fishing well all things considered. With the first snow of the year in town, we expect the last remaining grasshoppers to be just about done for the year going forward. The use of dry droppers up here will now be limited to October Caddis,

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

Pyramid Lake The larger Lahontan Cutthroat Trout are still on the deeper side, though the surface temps are cooling nicely, and shore fishing is picking up. The prolonged warm summer into fall has created an algae bloom that covers a lot of the lake’s surface. These blooms are sometimes representative that the lake has flipped, but other times it is just a bloom. We are

Autumn is definitely here!

by RENO FLY SHOP

Truckee River Autumn is definitely here! Changing leaves and early morning brisk temperatures have taken hold. Brown trout are starting to clean off shallow gravel areas in preparation for their Fall spawn. We haven’t seen any active spawning just yet, but they are becoming more territorial and beginning to concentrate into groups. Streamers and crayfish patterns have been working well combined with small nymphs (#16-#20).
