Current Water Conditions The Truckee is fishing excellent this week, especially for anglers who beat the crowds in the early mornings. Flows remain steady and healthy—around 300 CFS at Tahoe City, 335 CFS through Truckee, and just under 543 CFS at Farad—keeping the canyon stretch in perfect shape. Mornings are crisp, trout are active, and water clarity is ideal. With warmer temps expected this weekend, keep

The water level is in good shape, however weeds are impacting fishing access for shoreline anglers. Better fishing opportunity will be from float tube, kayak, etc. at this time. Through the summer, trout up to 18″ have been caught. Try small Panther Martins and Mepps, worms or your favorite PowerBait. Midge and leech patterns are working well for fly rodders. Bass and catfish catch rates

The water is warm and trout fishing is slow. Early mornings are still producing a few trout with small, flashy spinners or PowerBait combined with small pieces of worm. Bass and bluegill catch rates are better. A variety of soft plastics and jigs with active presentations should work for bass. Bluegill are most likely to hit worms under a bobber. The boat ramp is not

Water flows are in a good shape below the dam and trout fishing remains good. The hopper/dropper combo is a reliable choice for fly anglers.

Trout fishing has been fair to good following spring stockings. Trout in the 15″ t0 20″ range are being caught in the collection ditch.

Water levels are in good shape and water clarity is still decent despite some algae growth throughout the lake. The road is also in good condition. Trout fishing has slowed some with armer temperatures but catch rates remain fair. PowerBait and worms are always reliable, or try throwing a rooster tail or small spoon. Small nymph, midge and leech patterns should work for fly anglers.

Anglers are catching trout in the 10″ range. Green PowerBait and worms are the go-to here for bait anglers. Ants, balanced leeches, and zebra midges are favorites for fly anglers.

Water temperatures remain in the mid to high 70s. Algae growth continues to impact water clarity and weed growth is thick in the southern portion of the reservoir. With the warm temps, trout fishing is very slow from shore. The trout bite is better for boaters who can reach the deeper, cooler water. Trout are hitting combinations of PowerBait and worms, as well as flashy

The lake lavel is going down and the boat launch is getting low. Keep an eye on your depth finder so as not to bottom out. On the far south end you will see some wills in the lake. Stay to the north as much as possible. Fishing has still been productive for those early morning risers. When the sun does come up, that is

Current Water Conditions The Truckee is in prime shape this week, especially for anglers willing to hit the water before the midday heat. Crisp mornings are delivering hungry trout and ideal conditions.
