Slowdown in the fishing

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

We’ve seen some pretty drastic changes on the Truckee this week and subsequently a slowdown in the fishing, which was incredible just a few weeks ago. The changes come from an increased release from Lake Tahoe and decreased release out of Boca. In Tahoe City this water is coming off the top of Lake Tahoe, and it is entering into the river system at a

The lake has been very good in the early morning hours on the south end and the west side

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake has been very good in the early morning hours on the south end and the west side. Rapalas or small flashers and a worm or using a thomas buoyant spoon. When using a spoon, use a small snap swivel. If you don't, you will end up with a twisted mess. For those die hard anglers that fish all day. Fish the east and

The reservoir is full and water is relatively clear

Jakes Creek Reservoir (Boies Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The reservoir is full and water is relatively clear. Trout up to 18″ are being caught. Try small Panther Martins and Mepps, worms or your favorite PowerBait. Anglers are reporting an increase in bass and catfish catches with the warmer weather. Shoreline fishing remains accessible, but vegetation growth typically makes this more difficult as the summer goes on. When vegetation clogs the shorelines, better fishing

Trout fishing has been fair for fish in the 9 inch range and should remain consistent after recent stocking efforts

Jiggs Reservoir (Zunino Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Trout fishing has been fair 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 has picked up with the warmer weather. A variety of soft plastics and jigs with active presentations should work for bass. Bluegill are most likely to hit worms under

Trout fishing has been fair to good following spring stockings

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Trout fishing has been fair to good following spring stockings. Trout in the 15″ t0 20″ range are being caught in the collection ditch. Fly anglers are reporting success with dark-colored streamer patterns, as well as your favorite nymph pattern (pheasant tail, gold-ribbed hares ear, etc.). Fish are hitting dry flies with the warmer weather. Small, flashy spinners like Panther Martins are the go-to for

Water temps are in the high 60s

Wild Horse Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Water temps are in the high 60s. Trout fishing from shore has slowed a bit compared to the last few weeks, but boaters are reporting decent catch rates. Trout are averaging 16″ to 22″. Target trout in shallower water in the early morning when temps are cool, then focus on deeper water by midday. Try small, flashy spinners or night crawlers combined with PowerBait. Bass fishing

Trout fishing has been good following recent stockings

Wilson Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The reservoir is full. Trout fishing has been good following recent stockings. PowerBait and worms or small flashy spinners should work for spin anglers, while small nymph, midge and leech patterns should work for fly anglers. Bass fishing has picked up. Try soft plastics in green pumpkin or watermelon, or dark-colored chatterbaits.

Anglers are catching trout in the 10 inch range

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

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 are climbing into the 70s

South Fork Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Water temperatures are climbing into the 70s. With the warmer temps, trout fishing has slowed from shore. The trout bite is better for boaters who can reach the cooler water. Bait anglers are having the best luck with trout hitting orange PowerBait and flashy spinners, while fly anglers are having success with nymph, midge and leech patterns. Streamers are being hit hard off the dam.

Flows, temps, bugs, everything is really good on the river right now

by PYRAMID LAKE FLY FISHING

Perfect! Flows, temps, bugs, everything is really good on the river right now. The normal hatches happen in the evenings if you know where to look and Caddis and Little Yellow Stones are out in force. On the lower river Golden Stone husks are starting to show up and nymphing with a Stonefly and a caddis dropper is hard to beat right now. Fish the

Strong lake trout bite

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Crystal-clear surface temps remain in the mid‑50s°F this week, warming slightly in calm bays early and late day. The Mackinaw (lake trout) bite is strong around 60–90 ft—use tube jigs or dodger-minnow rigs for 10–15 lb fish. Kokanee begin schooling deeper in July; try bright spoons and hoochies at 80–100 ft. Rainbows and browns are moving shallower near creek mouths, feeding on midges and BWOs—nymph under an indicator

Running strong and fishing great

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Current Water Conditions The Truckee River is running strong and fishing great heading into the first week of July. Flows are stable and healthy: ~217 CFS from Tahoe City, ~234 CFS in Truckee, and ~912 CFS near Farad. Expect a possible bump in flows as more water is released from Lake Tahoe. Water clarity is excellent, especially in the mornings, and temps are ideal for trout—ranging

Great Summer fly fishing on the Truckee

by MATT KOLES

Great Summer fly fishing on the Truckee River. Flows are still big from Boca down into Reno, and lower up above that. We do have releases coming out of Lake Tahoe now. That puts some water in the upper portion of the Truckee River along hwy 89 and such. That opens up that whole upper section, as its been too low since last Summer. Yes, there

Exceptional Hatches

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

We have seen an increase in water being released out of Lake Tahoe for rafting over the holidays. This is a mixed blessing because the increase in flows is good for the upper section of river which was getting a little skinny for fishing, but being a top release off Tahoe, this water is coming in warm and may speed up the possibility of 68

Fly Fishing Report | Truckee River | late June 2025

The Truckee River has been fishing really well over the last week. Water temperatures are ranging from mid 50F to low 60F on the Nevada side and fish are very active.

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

Colorado River - Davis Dam

by RUSTY

Our newest local angler, Cameron Marino, landed his very first striper while fishing from shore at Rotary Park! He was using anchovies on a size 1 circle hook, secured with bait wrap thread to keep the bait in place. This time of year, stripers are typically in the 1- to 4-pound range, with the occasional 6-pounder showing up. Cameron’s fish was caught below Davis Dam on
