Western Nevada Fish Reports

Lower flows this week on the Truckee River. Flows came down right after I wrote my last post. They’ve been hovering right under 200 cfs here in the Hirsch. They’re a bit higher through Farad, and unfortunately pretty low in Reno. We all knew if was coming. The only silver lining, nothing’s coming out of Boca.  At least we’ll have some water this fall. Smokes been bad

A couple changes on the Truckee River. Weather is cooler, and flows have dropped. Truckee didn’t get out of the 60’s the other day. Flows are down to around 300 cfs here in the Hirsch. The weathers the big thing. Lows in the 30’s and highs barely bucking 70. We’ve pretty much had 90’s all summer. Water temps this week are not an issue. We’re getting towards

Prolonged drought conditions have resulted in drastically reduced reservoir levels at Lahontan State Recreation Area. Due to low water levels, boating is not advisable and swimming access may be difficult in most areas. The Silver Springs side of the park does not have any swimmable water. In addition, visitors should use caution while driving, as areas of deep sand and mud are present, and the top

The flows have dropped on the Truckee River from Lake Tahoe to Boca. Because of the lower flows in the upper river, anglers are advised to only fish early mornings. By 11am, the water temperature is most likely too hot in that section. From Boca to the Stateline, anglers will find the fish much happier because of the cooler and deeper water. The fishing has

Fishing has been great. Playing some mixed bags recently with Macks and Kokanee. Had couple dates pop open. Shoot up and get in on em!

Not much change since last week on the Truckee River. Flows and weather about the same, and trouts eating the same stuff. A bit muggy, a bit smoky, and hot in the afternoon. Water temps are good in the morning and warm later in the day. Typical August conditions. Fish are still in fast water. Tight line nymphing is the rig to target that water with. Crayfish, and

With cooler nights over the past two weeks, water temperatures have decreased on the Truckee River, but anglers are still being advised to avoid the heat and fish in the mornings. The upper Truckee River is currently flowing around 220 CFS out of lake tahoe. Anglers should focus on fishing the faster water pockets behind rocks. Cooler water is also being released out of Boca

The fishing has been slow. The anglers that have started at first light have had the most success with trolling deep with flashers or Rapalas. reminder that the lake will not close to fishing this year. We have plenty of time when the weather gets cooler to camp and fish.

Good fishing on the Truckee River.  The smoke has rolled back in though. Some days are better than others with the smoke. Just depends on what the winds doing. Flows are down just a tad from last week out of Lake Tahoe. They bumped them up out of Boca. That’s all cold bottom fed water out of Boca. That along with colder mornings have put water temps
