Western Nevada Fish Reports

The West has been producing some fish, especially down near the town of Walker as well as the upper end of Walker Canyon near the bridge on Highway 395. Panther Martins and Roostertails have been good spinners to try, salmon eggs, power eggs and crawlers have been good baits. Fly anglers are still doing well with hoppers, stimulators, chubby Chernobyl’s, copper johns, pheasant tails and prince nymphs.

What a great way to spend your 70th birthday Great job guys !!

Reno Fly Shop guide, Mike Anderson @mt_anderson, with your on the water report from The Truckee River! The river is fishing well! Keep an eye on those water temps, and let us show you how to target carp! Flies we suggest: Masked Marauder, Double Bead Stone, the Ticket, BH Krystal Caddis, Mini Crayfish, Jawbreaker, Jigged Bugger, OCD Caddis, Panty Dropper Hopper, Truckee River Dozen

The last week of fishing on the Truckee has been excellent as water temps continue to hover around the high 50’s in the canyon. The upper river along Glenshire Drive is a little skinny at 167 CFS which will make this area warm quicker due to greater sunlight penetration, so because of this we recommend fishing below the Boca confluence to the Nevada state line

Fun pm run, our am trip yielded 23 bii of aged fish with largest at 10.3 lbs Then our afternoon poured rain, became perfectly sunny and calm allowing us jig up 7 lakers from 3-5 lbs. then I saw something I liked and told the team were going get big fish. Before second line was wet we had 10.6 lb then a 6 a 8 lb then

Following a week of steady thunderstorms, the Truckee River has fished well and benefited from the recent rainfall. The storms here in Reno passed through and dropped enough rain to raise river flows to just over 700 cfs at the Reno gauge. As a result, water clarity decreased with each shot of rain but flows were quick to come down and fishing has improved in

Great to see you again. We had to do a bit of searching but we found them.

The cooler weather this week made for improved trout fishing in our area, and the Truckee has been fishing especially well in the canyon where both the flows and the temps remain more consistent due to the confluence of the Little Truckee putting in 221 CFS below Boca. We still recommend focusing on the mornings and carrying your thermometer with you, there has still been

Continued nice weather, and good solid fishing on the Truckee River. Lows, are getting in the 40’s, and high’s in the 80’s. Not bad. Cold and windy in canyon country early. Good thing is, no smoke, or fires this Summer. Lot’s of nice cold water coming out of Boca now. I’d suggest throwing back on the waders. Fish are fat and healthy, and munching on those crayfish. So

What a difference between this summer and last on the Truckee River. Low 80’s, and no smoke. Big puffy Simpson clouds every afternoon, and even some rain. Rained all morning last Saturday. Kinda feels like the Truckee I remember. The forecast looks like more of the same. Awesome August weather. Few more weeks, and we’ll start dipping in the 30’s and night. Crazy, how fast Fall will

Good bite today with some great guys !!!!

Soggy wet day out there but heck the fish were already wet! Nice job guys

Truckee River Fly Fishing Report & Forecast The flows out of Lake Tahoe continue to drop slowly and as of today they are releasing 210 CFS out of the dam. As the upper river continues to drop, we recommend giving this section a rest and focusing on the canyon where Boca is releasing 149 CFS of cold water from the bottom of the reservoir. Flows in

Bite continues to go great.

We got these little guys on some Laker's Great job guys !!
