A Great Day of Jonesing and fishing on the Truckee River

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Aged salami, beef jerky, IPA, 60 degree weather, and trout. That's living. Fred who was laid up from a skiing accident, jonesing, reading my blog for the last year, finally healed and came out to float the Truckee River with me on the East side yesterday. We did some damage. Fred put a little oil on the rusty casting arm and gave her hell. Good

Good reports from the Sceirine

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by JIM REID

We've had a couple clients on the Sceirine this week and they seemed to have pretty good days. There are a lot more fish holding on the Sceirine than on the Rosachi right now. The best reports we had from the Sceirine have been with nymphs like micro stones, wd-40's, pheasant tails and birds nests.

The Nevada side of the Truckee are as good as it can get, the fish are full of piss & vinigar

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

The last few days East of Reno on the Truckee River have been as good as I've seen it yet. These fish are full of piss and vinegar. Leave the toys at home. Bring a mans rod, a 6wt, and keep your tip up. Yesterday we put about 15 in the boat, good for the Truckee, and lost quite a few fish too. Fish are

Fishing is good in Nevada & California on the Truckee

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

We actually had two sunny nice days in row, a first it seems, and fishing is good in both states, on the Truckee River in California, and Nevada. Skwalas and b-dubs are out and about, making for some interesting dry fly fishing. Nymphing with the said patterns will produce fish. The streamer game is descent, if you stick at it, you'll get a few whacks.

We got good reports from the Sceirine this week

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by JIM REID

We've had a few clients on the ranch this past week and most have done very well. Most of the same patterns that work on the Cali side will also work on the Sceirine. Dry/dropper rigs also have been producing very well down there.

Pyramid Lake

The spawning channel is open to fishing and fly fishermen are congregating in that area. Best fishing has been on the northern portion of the lake near Warriors and Pelican.

The fishing appears to be improving at Pyramid Lake (Nevada)

Pyramid Lake

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

The hook, line and sinker tournament last week produced some really nice fish. There were at least 3 fish caught over 10 pounds (and hopefully released). The fishing seemed to improve overall the past week. The water is still too deep to wade out to the normal spots at most of the major beaches. This is probably going to be the case for the rest

We look for the weather to affect a slowing for fishing on the Truckee

Truckee River

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

The river has fished so well over the past couple of months that we have gotten spoiled. That could all change in the next week. We have gotten enough snow in the lower elevations to create some run-off. The next few days are supposed to be warm and the flows should start their spring Yo-Yo effect for a while. It is not going to be

Hinkson continues to fish great

Hinkson Slough

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

Anglers are catching fish on a variety of methods from both shore and from float tubes. Retrieving just about anything with an intermediate line will work but without a doubt the best fishing is under an indicator with Pyramid sized midges and nymphs.

The Truckee River is in perfect shape, despite the storms this week

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Last night it snowed and had no impact on river flows. Saturday's storm will be a one-day type of thing, it should snow, not rain, and won't impact river flows much, if at all. The winds though have been a bummer. My hands and face feel like an old saddle. The fishing is good. In Nevada, I'd rate it, four IPAs out of five. Pliny

The fishing is very good on the Truckee right now, Gilligan announces "Spring Clinic"

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

The last two days have been very nice up here in Truckee-Reno on the Truckee River. The river is in great shape, and the fishing is very good for this time of year. A man could get Spring Fever. Water clarity is actually pretty good, a tad bit off color, but hell, I like it a bit off color. Anyway you want to shake a

Topaz Lake Fish Report

Topaz Lake

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS

Pressure is light but fishing has been good for those getting out. Anglers spending a half day get limits plus. Trout are averaging 14 inches. Trolling is the best way to go. Use Needlefish or Rapalas (black and gold, rainbow or perch) along the edges. Shoreline fishing is very slow because the wind is limiting casting. (775) 266-3550

Truckee River Fish Report, March 19, 2012

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

I'm sure everyone in Tahoe today was shredding pow except for me, I guess. They had to get 6-7 feet up along the crest, all good, as we need it. Hirschdale, and farther East, except for Mt Rose, didn't get to much. We got about 6" inches here in the Hirsch. Access from Boca on down to Nevada is not an issue. The Truckee River

Lake Tahoe Fish Report

Lake Tahoe

Mackinaw fishing has been good around Dollar and Cal/Neva points. Many limits of 4 to 8 pound macs and a few in the 9 to 12 pound class have been coming in. Anglers fishing 150 to 250 feet of water have had the most success with a dodger blade followed by a live minnow. Top lining has been hot and cold, a few browns in

Weekend fishing was productive. Not a lot of big trout but stringers of 1.8 pound trout were common. Trolling with Needlefish is productive. Wind kicked up early in the week. Rain is expected by mid-week and wind is supposed to continue through the week. (775) 266-3550

Weather Report for the Truckee River fishing

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Things are actually pretty dry here on the East side, Hirschdale, and down below through Reno. The wind has been a bummer this week though, seems like it always is this time of year. The West side is getting pounded, rain and snow, or, everything West of Donner Summit. The Truckee River is in good shape, I'm surprised, I thought these storms would blow it

Spawning Time on the Truckee

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Most of the rainbows are colored up, and some are on their beds down on the Nevada side of the Truckee River. Haven't seen any spawners yet on the Cali side, but with they days getting longer, it shouldn't be long. If you do see fish spawning, usually in the tail-outs of runs, or shawel gravel bars, leave them alone. If you happen to be
