Fish Remain Feisty With Plenty of Energy

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
The EW is flowing at about 232 cfs right now. The water temps are starting to get up there pretty high but so far it seems as though the fish are still pretty feisty and releasing with plenty of energy. The mornings and late evenings are going to be the best time to fish with the mid-day time frame being the best time to give the

The West is still producing decent numbers of fish with bait like salmon eggs, power eggs and mini night crawlers and lures like Mepps, Panther Martin and Roostertail spinners. Fly anglers are having some success with hopper/dropper rigs and some small attractor nymphs on the bottom.

Hope you enjoy this week’s On-the-Water Report from the Truckee River from Aden Breckner. I just finished up the day and we had a pretty good day fishing a lot of Stoneflies.

Truckee River Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
As mentioned above, the Truckee has benefitted from the week of cooler weather and thunderstorms, and temps are topping out around 66 degrees from the Boca Confluence to the Nevada state line.

Fly Fishing Report | Truckee River | mid July 2024

by RENO FLY SHOP
  The Truckee River has continued to drop since the last report, but we will see the flows stabilize around their current 460 cfs through the downtown gauge. The river is very close to its natural channel and because of this  finding fish has become easier. The bugs have changed a lot in the past few weeks as well. A lot of the hatches we have

There have been a fair number of changes in conditions on the river this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
There have been a fair number of changes in conditions on the river this week as the flows out of Boca are cut down from 500 to 200 CFS causing the Farad area to drop down around 800. While we would say these flows are just about perfect, this drop combined with the hot days as of late, have caused the water temps rise down

Flows have finally settled down on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES
785 cfs here in Hirschdale, and I’m sure that will come down this week some too. 550 cfs here in Hirschdale are perfect wading flows. 450 cfs in Reno is what you’re looking for. 750 cfs now. Things are getting closer to average flows. The big news is the here is the heat wave we’ll have this week. Thank God we have a lot of water,
