Western Nevada Fish Reports

The Summer heat is gone on the Truckee River. We'll still have our hot days, but its transitioning to Fall. Pine needle season if you know what I mean. It's kinda of an odd time. We really don't have any hatches, trout have been gorging on crayfish, and the streamer fishing ain't good yet.  How do you catch fish then? Well, you don't really need to be out

We look at quite a few factors when forecasting fishing conditions for the week. Flows, water temps, time of year, cloud cover, wind, smoke and water clarity are just a few of the environmental factors that can drastically change how your day of fishing goes. Out of the many variables that we factor in to our report and forecast, we really keep a close eye

Well landed the fish of a lifetime on tahoe today! My biggest brown on tahoe ever. I have 15 double digit browns up to 17 lbs but this is my first dd on tahoe. 10.25 lbs catch and release of course Book a trip with tahoetrophytrout.com

The Truckee has continued to see warm water temps this week, and we will likely be in for a few more weeks of this before temps cool off consistently. This does not mean you cannot fish, it means we ask you to be aware of when you’re fishing and limiting you time on the water to the morning hours along certain stretches of the river

The river is continuing to drop, but it should stabilize soon. It is currently at 280 cfs at the Reno gauge. While this might feel low compared to the flows this summer it is actually slightly higher than the median daily flow as can be seen in the graph below. The triangles are showing the median daily for each day.  An upside to the lower flow

Rolling right along through Summer on the Truckee River. Pretty good fishing in the mornings.   Not too much change since last week, except that flows have come down a bit out of Boca. Nice in the mornings, hot in the afternoons. Pretty typical for us. So around 475 cfs, here in Hirschdale, and about 350 cfs, in Reno. We have a lot of water stored in the reservoirs.

Water Conditions With temperatures remaining in the 80s throughout the weekend, water temperatures are relatively the same as last week on the Truckee River. In the upper sections of the Truckee River, the water is warm and not great for fishing. Anglers should focus most of their efforts from Martis Creek to the Stateline because colder water is being released into the river here. Here are

Fun day on the lake, only 8 kokes but landed this 12 lb laker with a 18” koke hanging out its mouth. It was on the kokanee gear at 70’!!! contact captain Rob with TahoeTrophyTrout.com

The Truckee has been fishing well despite the warm water. While the Glenshire area is only fishing well in the mornings, if you get out bright and early you will have a few hours of great fishing before noon. The hopper bite up here has been good to the point where we often aren’t even putting a dropper below it. If fishing down below Boca,

Here is your on the Water Report from the Truckee River. The Truckee River’s flow has dropped since the last report. We’re looking at about 350 CFS for the downtown gauge, the water temperatures have dropped too.  This morning the Water started off at 61°F. Which is perfect, it is nice to have a little cool down after some hot days. You still want to keep

Nice cool weather and easy fishing on the Truckee River. Lows haves dipped in the 30's this week. Crazy, coming off the back of a really hot early part of July. Flows are great and it's just nice to be out in the mornings on the river. Very much crayfish time, caddis, and smaller mayfly time. We'll get them nocturnal stones soon in the canyons

20 lber today, my biggest of the year! Contact captain Rob with TahoeTrophyTrout 530-318-0791

We are so incredibly relieved to see the forecast call for temperatures in Truckee to drop this week. Starting this weekend the highs are expected in the mid 70’s, then warming up a bit later in the week. After 2 straight months of hot weather, only broken up by the occasional thunderstorm, not only are we too damn hot, but so is the river. It’s

Flows & Water Conditions: Fair-Good; Water temperatures reach low-70s by early afternoon Clarity: Fluctuating Daily CFS: 243 Fishing Report & Conditions: Fair-Good Crowds have decreased but the water temperatures are rising - It’s best to only fish the mornings and monitor the water temperatures to avoid fish fatality. Up near the dam, big lake midges are pretty ineffective now. We are seeing success in much smaller “Crowley-sized” midges. The slower waters

Solid fishing in the mornings here on the Truckee River. Afternoons not so much.  Been pretty hot, and you really have a small window in the mornings to get out and get some fish. O’ dark thirty to about noon. After that, I’d check the water temps. We have plenty of water, but it’s always good to see what’s happening with them water temps. We’ve been doing
