We have seen a very good variety of bugs present on the river

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
We have seen a very good variety of bugs present on the river and fly selection can at times be overwhelming. With the abundance of options, we recommend using a ‘seine’ when first stepping into the river to see what bugs are most present where you’re fishing. Flipping rocks works as well but it doesn’t necessarily show what’s actually in the drift and the what

South Fork of the Humboldt was flowing at 118 cfs

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Flows on the South Fork of the Humboldt have dropped as the snow pack recedes. As of June 17, the South Fork of the Humboldt was flowing at 118 cfs which is well below the median of 450 cfs for this time of year. Anglers can expect fair fishing above the reservoir with the best fishing being below the dam. Below the dam red copper

Good Bite on Tahoe This Morning

by HANS MOXLEY
I would say that was a very good bite this morning! Great fishing with you guys

Pretty great on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES
Pretty great on the Truckee River.  Fishing has been on fire for the last few weeks. I don’t say that often. It got a bit hot, but cool and windy and raining today. Should be back in the 70’s next week, perfect. Not too hot yet. Flows are just right, and them caddis started pop’n. Evenings will be very good for dry fly fishing on out. Good

Fast Action on Tahoe Today

by MIKE NIELSEN
We hit our 30 by 8 am.  5:30-6:15 was slow but then it turned on! The boys have plans for the smoker and a stop by Mcduff’s for dinner so the goal was body count and fast!

Truckee River Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP
The conditions on the Truckee River have changed a lot from our last report. Flows have dropped considerably and are holding steady around 600-650 cfs through the downtown gauge. We are seeing some spikes in flows and turbid water, but these are isolated events and the water clears quickly. Fishing seems to be best on the downward side of the graph. As the water recedes

Summer fishing is in full force this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The flows on the Truckee River have stabilized near the average level for this time of year and as we move past our spring runoff we should see water temps continue to rise making the window of good fishing switch more towards the morning hours. This will also be beneficial in terms of being the first angler of the day to run flies through any

Fish are still holding in the deeper parts of the river

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
Water Conditions The Truckee River is fishing well, even with the higher flows. The water temperatures are good with great hatches in the evenings. Anglers should expect fishing to improve more with the warm temperatures headed to our area this week. The tahoe city section is flowing at 231CFS, glenshire area is at 359 CFS, and the stateline area at 806 CFS. FLOWS:Tahoe City 231 CFS, Glenshire

Flows on the South Fork of the Humboldt are up

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Flows on the South Fork of the Humboldt are up due to snowfall at the higher elevations of the Ruby Mountains last week and unseasonably warm weather. As of June 10, the South Fork of the Humboldt was flowing at 190 cfs which is well below the median of 550 cfs for this time of year. While flows are up it is still fishable and

Toplining for large rainbow and brown trout has also been productive in shallower water

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Shore anglers are using smaller spinners for planted trout and larger spoons diving plugs for larger rainbows and browns. Toplining for large rainbow and brown trout has also been productive in shallower water (less than 50 feet in depth) but will start to change as we summer set in finally. Fishing has been productive all day but will likely shift to early and late with

Closed to fishing until July 15, 2022

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Closed to fishing until July 15, 2022. The parking area at spooner has reopened which should make access to the trail and trailhead much easier this season. Fishing is expected to be great.

Expect slow fishing with some areas being more productive than others with low water

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Stocking of several thousand channel catfish and white crappie along with half a million juvenile white bass has occurred in both Little Washoe Lake and Washoe Lake during the 2017, 2018, and 2019 seasons. Expect slow fishing with some areas being more productive than others with low water. Carp can always be a good option in little washoe for anglers when the wind is down.

Davis Creek Pond Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Our urban ponds are just starting to shift into summer mode with the coming heat. Some of the warmer ponds will start to see the stocking slow or stop for the season. Wilson Commons, Mitch Park Pond, and the Verdi Ponds all hold some warmwater species that can be fun to target when trout fishing slows. Stocking will continue at some of the cooler ponds

The inlet has fished well for trout this spring

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing overall has been good at Squaw but not without some slow days here and there. The inlet has fished well for trout this spring but should start shifting to bass as summer sets in. The dam is an excellent place to find deeper water and more trout through the heat of summer. Worms and dough bait off the bottom midday work well.  Spinners and

Fishing for both smallmouth and trout has been good at Wall this spring

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing for both smallmouth and trout has been good at Wall this spring. Trout fishing along the shallow shoreline and near the inlet has been good with flies. Trout are actively cruising the shallows for damsels and other insects early and late in the day. Bass fishing has been best from a boat with jigs and spoons in deeper water. As summer heats up the

The river is in excellent condition and fishing well

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The river is in excellent condition and fishing well. Flows are currently ideal but they can jump pretty quick with any high elevation rain or real heat. Roughly 600cfs in Reno makes for near prefect conditions on the lower river. This isn’t going to last so get out east before we see it heat up. From Reno West, anglers can expect some sporadic little yellow stones
