West Fork Carson River Alpine County Updates

by DOUG BUSEY

The river is low but still vey fishable for those that do not mind a little walking. Drifting salmon eggs into the deeper areas has been productive. Down in the Woodfords canyon area I saw a few small rainbows in the faster deeper waters. I spoke with one angler using a copper jon and a prince nymph and had been doing fair. The CDFW planted

Lake Level is Very High

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake is still at a high level, the highest I have seen in a long time for this time of year. Fishing has been slow and a little tough. Trollers, you need to be on the water at 5am and start fishing shallows and work your way into deeper waters by 9 to 10 am. I would recommend the deep drop off on the

Nice cool weather and easy fishing

by MATT KOLES

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

Fly Fishing Report for the Truckee River and the Little Truckee River

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

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

Less Crowds But Higher Water Temperatures at East Walker

by THE TROUT FITTER STAFF

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.

Solid Fishing on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

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

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 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
