Put in the time, reap the rewards.

February truly is the month to try and get that trophy cutthroat

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
While the bite is far from consistent, February truly is the month to try and get that trophy cutthroat. We’ve seen multiple 20+ pound fish landed this week, including a 26.5 pound pig caught by Todd Keller. With fish pretty well spread out this time of year, most beaches have a good likelihood of kicking out a big fish, and we are the kind of

The Truckee continues to see stabile flows

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The Truckee continues to see stabile flows as cold nights have prevented any premature runoff, and while they are a little on the low side of average the fishing remains good on most sections of the river. With access open along most sections and firm snow conditions keeping postholes to a minimum, we encourage you to get a good walk in and try some quiet

Swimbaits and Glide Baits in trout patterns are producing striped bass catches along the river.

Cold and sunny on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES
Cold and sunny on the Truckee River. Not too much going on since last report. Flows and conditions have largely remained the same most of January.  January has been below average temp wise. Single digits here in the Hirsch every morning. Just doesn’t really warm up that much when it starts out that cold. Reno/ Sparks is the better option on the river. Cold in the mornings,

Not a lot of change at the lake. Higher pressure has still made fishing good one day and tough the next. Luckily, we are heading into a very good moon phase and we’re hoping for some weather soon. Future forecasts are in conflict about the next few weeks’ weather pattern, but it looks like some storms may be coming soon. Balanced leeches have been the most

Truckee River Fishing Report

River temps are getting down into low 30s overnight but still warming up into the afternoon enough to allow some increased bug activity.
