Western Nevada Fish Reports

The Truckee has been fishing great this week with a good number of small fish still being caught and a handful of larger fish now in the mix. Crawdads and stoneflies are really going to be the best way to target the bigger fish right now, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to have that small mayfly nymph or midge larva below it to double your

There was some unfortunate news from the East Walker River over the past month. We understand that there was an event in and near Bridgeport Reservoir that caused a fish kill downstream of the dam. The CA Fish and Wildlife responded with an investigation and a suggestion of not fishing on the CA section of the East Fork Walker River. In communication with NDOW there

Summers up and gone on the Truckee River. A little cooler weather too.  High's in the 70's this weekend, 60's by the end of next week.  Pretty good solid fishing. Lots of dinks, with some nice fish showing up here and there. Typical Indian Summer time of year fishing. You can rack up some numbers of fish, and hopefully by the end of the day, you hooked

We are getting so close to the opener, and we couldn’t be more excited! We are pumped up for the 2024/25 season, and even more thrilled to have you join us for what is sure to be an awesome season. You will see a lot of awesome events coming your way this season as well, some of which go beyond just the scope of fishing

Water Conditions Due to the recent cooler weather, early fall fishing conditions are starting to appear and the fishing on the Truckee River has been improving. The lower temperatures from last week have led to the appearance of larger fish. With the flows being at a good rate this time of year, the trout should be widely spread throughout the entire river system. This week, the

The bite on the Truckee continues to get better and better every week. As temps begin to trend downwards, we are seeing the larger fish become a bit more present in recent weeks. The crawdad bite has proven to be good this august and dead drifting them is a great way to target bigger fish while presenting smaller bugs at the same time. You can

The Truckee River has seen the temps drop below the 68 degree mark along most sections of river with the exception of the Sparks, NV gauge which hit 69 degrees at 5:30 PM yesterday, the 22nd. As mentioned in the opening statement this could change shortly, but as for this week we are still recommending to be aware of water temps on the Truckee, Particularly

Water Conditions The Truckee River is flowing out of Lake Tahoe at 260 CFS. As it continues towards Truckee, it’s flowing around 256 CFS. These flows allow for easy wading, and the water temperatures are decent due to cooler nights at the moment. In Glenshire, flows are around 320 CFS, and the fishing is great! It's important to check the water temperatures in the afternoons, as

Based on water test results, Lahontan Reservoir located within Lahontan State Recreation Area, has been placed under a HAB Danger Advisory. Recent test results detected toxins above the recreational threshold elevating the advisory from HAB Watch to HAB Danger. These toxic algae can cause serious health issues for humans and animals. If you see water that looks discolored or smells bad, stay away. For a full list of

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

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
