Truckee Fishing Report

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
The Truckee River is seeing consistent evening hatches of yellow sallies, pale morning duns, caddises. Anglers should also be on the lookout for green drakes. The water temperatures in the Truckee River are starting to warm up, but still remain in the 50s. Anglers can expect flows to be more skinny towards Lake Tahoe, while the Glenshire and Hirschdale areas are showing more consistent flows.  FLOWS:

Truckee River Fishing Report

by MATT KOLES
I guess it’s summer on the Truckee River. We had some hot weather last week, and now back in the 60’s-70’s. Just perfect fishing weather. Flows are still up, about 1,100 here in the Hirsch, and a bit higher down river. I’m guessing they will come down in about 2 weeks. You should be thinking green drakes and pale morning duns. If you’re on the river around
