The Truckee is seeing typical fall conditions right now

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee is seeing typical fall conditions right now. The upper section of the river is low, but thanks to increased releases out of Boca, the canyon section of the river is right around 450 CFS, which we would call above average. As mentioned, at 100 CFS the upper section of the river here in town is quite low. That said, it is still fishable,

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake is open for the season for very large cutthroat trout. The season started on October 1st and will run to June 30th. I would recommend going to the Pyramid Lake website to make sure you understand all of the rules before fishing. IE: No bait can be used, there is a size limit—keepers are 17 to 20 inches or over 24 inches. You

We’re in Trout Season!

Colorado River - Davis Dam

by RUSTY

That means rainbow trout are being stocked from the Willow Beach Hatchery. The federal hatchery crew does a great job raising these trout and bringing them to the shores of the Colorado River here in Bullhead City. The current stocking sites are Rotary Community Park and Davis Camp. Sometimes both spots get stocked, and sometimes just one — and the days can vary. Local angler Nick Valenzuela stopped by to show off a limit of

Fall has come early this year, and the fishing is good

by MATT KOLES

Some good fly fishing happening on the Truckee River. Fall has come early this year, and the fishing is good. Cold overnight lows, turning into mild afternoons. Obviously that has lowered the water temps into the fishy zone. We've had lots of rain the past month. Fishing is good all up and down the river. Out East on the lower Truckee River, flows are up a bit

This year’s opener at Pyramid Lake started off with a bang in terms of numbers

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

This year’s opener at Pyramid Lake started off with a bang in terms of numbers. Those who were jigging into bait balls were putting a good amount of fish into the net, and even the shore anglers found a few! The fish were marked anywhere from 70 feet down, all the way to the surface, and there were a good number of tui chub bait balls

Truckee River Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Over the last week we found the fish to be a bit more tight-lipped than we were expecting. If we were to conjure a guess as to why, we would blame it on the weather being a bit too nice.
