Very good fishing happening

by MATT KOLES

Happy first day of Summer. Things are really firing off on the Truckee River. Very good fishing happening. It's a tale of 2 rivers right now. The river from Truckee to Boca, and the river from Boca through West Reno. The upper section is low, as there are no releases coming out of Lake Tahoe, and the lower section is high as there is a lot of water

The Truckee River is at its healthiest

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee suddenly decided to become a dry fly river this week as we are seeing oddly consistent hatches. These hatches consist of PMD’s and yellow sallies, a smattering of green drakes and carpenter ants as well as good evening hatches of PEDs and caddis. We believe this is the healthiest that the Truckee River has been in some time based on what we’re seeing in

by DOUG BUSEY

Fishing has been good when you can get out. I spoke with Jason Blanchette the other day. He went out with family. They were trolling big plugs on the west side of the lake early in the morning until about 10:30 AM. They caught a nice 17.6 mackinaw and a couple others in the 5 to 8 lb range and a couple smaller ones. Tahoe

Overall fishing on Lake Mohave has been solid for stripers

This week we’ve got some great news from Lake Mohave—stripers are biting, and anglers are having success trolling with a variety of swimbaits.

Overall, fishing on Lake Mohave

Colorado River - Davis Dam

by RUSTY

Down below Davis Dam, along the shores of the Colorado River, the striper bite continues. Rotary Park and the Nature Center areas have been especially productive. Shore anglers are doing well using anchovies for bait. The Moose Lodge Fishing Clinic is shaping up nicely. We’ll be holding it at Rotary Park, using the grass area near the launch ramp. Registration will take place at the Moose

Very good fly fishing on the Truckee River. Flows are high, temps are cool, and fish are active. This is how it should be in June. Not that hot, bigger flows, and happy fish.

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.

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
