It’s hard to beat the fishing on the Truckee this time of year!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

While it’s always hard to pinpoint it exactly, when asked what the best time to fish the Truckee is, we will often reply the month of June. With the average winter we’ve had this year combined with the two previous years of above average precipitation, this June is really shaping up to live up to our title as the best month to fish our river. While

Mackinaw (lake trout) are active at 30–60 feet, with most catches in the 3–6 lb range and some double digits. Kokanee are starting to show, and rainbows and browns are feeding more aggressively as water warms. Midges and small mayflies are hatching along shorelines early in the

Deep trolling remains highly productive

Pyramid Lake’s season ends June 30, and deep trolling remains highly productive for large Lahontan cutthroat. Anglers are finding success at 70–90 feet using orange flatfish, spoons, and chartreuse jigs around Warrior Point, Monument Rock, and Hell’s Kitchen. Early mornings offer the best bite before winds pick up, especially for those using leadcore lines or downriggers. Shore fishing remains slow due to warming water and

Trout fishing has been fair to good for fish in the 9 inch range

Jiggs Reservoir (Zunino Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Trout fishing has been fair to good for fish in the 9″ range and should remain consistent after recent stocking efforts. Small, flashy spinners or PowerBait combined with small pieces of worms are working well. Bass and bluegill fishing is beginning to pick up with the warmer weather. The water level is low so the boat ramp cannot be used at this time.

The reservoir is full and spilling

Wilson Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The reservoir is full and spilling. Trout fishing has been good following the stockings last week.

The road to Angel Lake is open

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The trout bite has been good following spring stocking efforts

South Fork Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Bait anglers are having the best luck with trout hitting orange PowerBait and flashy

The water is warming fast in the shallows and on the surface

by PYRAMID LAKE FLY FISHING

If ever the word perfect needed a place this, is it. You cannot ask for anything more. The conditions are exactly like we talk about, and the fishing is as one of our clients stated, W.F.O. At Pyramid just like other fisheries, that does not mean that the fish eat all day every day. You have to be there when it happens. The techniques are specific

All time good on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

All time good on the Truckee River. Flows are healthy, water temps are perfect, and trouts are happy. It's that window of time on the river when you don't have to wok for them as hard as usual. Every bug is hatching, and nymphing with any generic nymph should probably work. This week we should see Green Drakes. Green Drakes is one of the biggest mayflies in the
