Truckee River Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP
Truckee River  The Truckee River is flowing around 370cfs through the downtown gauge. Through Sparks (downstream of Reno) water temps are creeping up in the late afternoons, rising above 70F degrees around 1 pm.

Truckee River Fishing Report

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
The Truckee River isn’t seeing a lot of dry fly activity until later in the evening, so anglers should switch to mostly caddis nymphing in the morning and mid day. If you’re trying dry flies in the evening, try using tan and olive cutters, small elk hair caddis, little yellow sallies, or pale morning duns. Streamer fishing has also been great with sculpin or black
