Finally A Change in The Weather

by MATT KOLES
Finally a change in the weather. Not a big change, but at least it feels like fall now, or early winter?  Seems like it’s always feast or famine in Ca. You just never know what kind of winter we’ll have. We get pounded with snow, or we don’t. Truckee River is cold and low in Ca. Don’t mean you can’t catch fish. If you know the type

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP
Pyramid Lake  Pyramid lake has still been a little hit and miss as far as fishing goes. We really need a good storm and some colder weather to break up the monotony of blue skies and little wind. Otherwise fishing deeper beaches with sinking line and dark flies has been working well at the changes of light (dawn and dusk). On the days where the weather

Truckee River Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP
Truckee River  The Truckee River flows have dropped since our last report. We are currently below seasonal averages at 275 CFS at the downtown gauge. The fish we are finding are very happy and healthy, but the lower water can make fishing a little more challenging so take your time when approaching the water.

Truckee River Fishing Report-11-12-19

by MATT KOLES
Same old same old on the Truckee River.  Nothing to really change things. Weather and flows have been stagnant for the last month. We need some rain/snow. Not that the fishing is poor, just be nice to have some different kind of weather. We’re catching fish, but mainly on the nymphs. Not a lot of streamer action on the lower river. Didn’t think we’d have 70 degree
