LCT Spawn is Still Ongoing

by RENO FLY SHOP
The LCT spawn is still ongoing at the lake. Fish are shallow and cruising in schools. Some of these shallow fish are willing to eat, but they are few and far between. The fish holding off of drop offs more willing to feed. These are the ones you want to cast to. Weather has been beautiful, sunny and clear skies. This has made fishing more difficult.

River Flows Have Dropped

by RENO FLY SHOP
River flows have dropped a lot since our last report. Flows are above 3,250 cfs at the Reno gage. We believe that these levels will be sustained for the next few weeks. Fishing has been amazing!

Crappie and Bass Are Starting To Hit

Anglers fishing from the dam and the south end of the reservoir are getting lots off action from trout. Crappie and bass have started hitting, but the bite is still slow due to low nighttime temperatures.

Fishing is Picking Up

The fish are averaging from 1 to 5 pounds with the smaller fish taking anchovies fished near the bottom. The larger stripers are hitting Bomber Long A’s and Glide Swimmers. For catfish, fish on the bottom with anchovies below Big

Good Times On The Truckee River

by MATT KOLES
Good times on the Truckee River. Flows have come down a bit since last week. 3,300 k here in the Hirsch. 3,800 last week. Don’t hold your breath. I’m betting flows should come back up if we get some hot weather. Whatever it is, it’s high. Fishing is good though, and really not much has changed fishing wise since last week. Fish the edges, look for some soft
