Great hatches coming off throughout the day with the most predictable of these being caddis in the late evening.

Truckee River Fly Report Late July

by RENO FLY SHOP

Truckee River Through the downtown gauge, the Truckee River has been holding steady around 450 CFS. This is perfect flows in my opinion. Wading is easier, and the river really starts to show off its details as the water level settles into the deeper channels of the channel. Pocket water, and shallow riffled water will hold feeding fish, as fish who are resting will seek out

Cool Mornings Are Best for Trout Action

Eagle Valley Reservoir

Anglers are finding the cool mornings best for trout action. Largemouth and crappie are hitting well as temperatures warm throughout the day. Bass are taking bright 1/16-ounce top-water lures and root beer colored tube baits. Most bass are about a pound or less, though patient anglers are reeling the occasional fish in the 4- to 6-pound class.

Trout action is starting to slow, although crappie and bass action is good in the middle of the lake. Bass can also be found along the rocks. Fly-fishers have had their best luck using brown Woolly Buggers and nymphs.

Striper Fishing is Heating Up Below Davis Dam

Colorado River - Laughlin

Striper fishing is heating up below Davis Dam. According to reports from the Big Bend area, anglers are catching stripers, catfish, and black bass.

Crankbaits and plastics are catching largemouth bass.

Striper Fishing Has Been Best From Boats

Striper fishing has been best from boats, though shore anglers may find some action in the early mornings and evening hours. Stripers are generally in the 2- to 4-pound range, though some have weighed in at 6-7 pounds. Rainbow trout are hiding along drop offs below Willow Beach. Bluegill are biting on micro lures or night crawlers north of Cottonwood Cove.

Summer Mode on The Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Nice in the a.m., windy and hot in the afternoons. Good again right before dark. Pretty much like this every summer. Flows are average now, fishing is too. Best thing to do is tight line nymph the fast pocked water. Fish are all over, spread out. Cover some water and you’ll put some trouts in the net. Like I say this time of year, the folks
