Get After Them With Crayfish and Stoneflies

by MATT KOLES
Smoke. Looks like all of California is under a blanket of smoke. I feel for those families that are in any of the fire zones. So far, fingers crossed, Tahoe hasn’t burned, but dry lightning is forecasted this week. Some days have been better than others air quality wise here in Tahoe. If there’s a silver lining, it’s that the smoke acts as could cover, and has

Ranch Section Best in The Mornings & Evenings

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
As with the California side of the river, the ranch section is definitely best in the mornings and evenings. Anglers have reported having really good action from about 6 in the morning until around 9:30 or so when the fish seemed to just shut off. I’m sure it’s possible to get into some fish during the day but the action will be significantly less than

Truckee River Fishing Report

by ORVIS COMPANY
With water temps ranging for the high 50's to low 60's fish will be looking to feed. This time of year fish can be in any type of water, so covering all water types is important. ESN is still going to produce the most fish, but fishing with a dry dropper and nymphing with an indicator will be great way to cover deep pools, glides

Ruby Lake Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The water level is low and weeds are coming on strong, but you can still launch a boat at the main boat landing.

First Thing in The Morning is Best For Fishing

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The water level is very low and fishing is slow. Worms, PowerBait, small spinners and flies should all work if the fish are cooperating. First thing in the morning is best for fishing here due to very warm surface water temperatures.

Bobber Placement is Everything

by MIKE NIELSEN
Bobber placement is everything. Limits plus today. Got absolutely schooled by big fish today.  The ones that nipped and missed or fell in net or just flat out gulped. Removing hooks from under gills today.  Hope everyone near fires are safe.  Thoughts and prayers to those in loss, out of work or any unforeseen circumstances from fires. Be safe!

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY
Even with our warm weather (an understatement) our anglers are having some very good luck landing the stripped bass. The striper bite here along the shores of the Colorado River below the Davis Dam is being very productive.

Flows Are Good But Water Temps Remain High

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
The flows are still good, but the water temperatures on the Truckee River remain high during the afternoons and evenings. Anglers should try to get out there before noon to avoid stressing the fish out. Anglers are seeing a good hatch of caddis fly, pale morning duns, and golden stones. Anglers fishing in the morning should try nymphing with small golden stones, small flashback pheasant
