Nevada Fish Reports

The Sceirine has been fishing well this week also, lots of nice rainbows and some browns have been making a showing. Dry/dropper rigs have been good as well as some streamers and of course nymphs. Zuddlers, moal leeches, dead-drift crayfish, E/C caddis, chubby chernobyl, madam X, dark lord, birds nest, prince, pheasant tail, Fox's poopah, LaFontaines sparkle pupa and buckskin caddis have all been doing

Summertime on the Truckee River, out guiding every day, meeting lots of new folks, not a bad deal. Been introducing the sport to a lot of new people as well. Fishing has been solid all week. Caddis of course, and the crayfish bite picking up. Been spending time on both sides of the river, Cali and Nevada. No one side is better than the other,

Wind, wind, and more wind. That seems to be the prognosis this first week of summer. Afternoons have been down right gnarly windy up here. If the forecast calls for wind start early and find some spots on the river with some cover. Not much has changed flow wise, or bug wise. They still have the gates open on Tahoe, and Boca. Fish have adjusted

The Sceirine started off a little tough early in the week but the last 3 or 4 days have been excellent. Several clients reported having 20 to 30 fish days with both browns and bows making a good showing and some fish going well over 20 inches. Streamers have done well this past few days, large buggers, double bunnies, moal leeches and the like. Also nymphs

You would think after an unusually light winter snowpack, the water master would be holding back a little water. A week ago that was the case but in the last 4-5 days flows have increased on the Truckee. While the river is fishable from Tahoe City through Reno it is just a little strange to see so much water being shifted to lower

It's rafting season near Tahoe City and flows are up to accommodate the almighty rafting dollar. Bummer, as they have water coming out of Boca as well. I was just settling in for an easy summer of guiding, looks like I'll be working for them trouts a little harder than usual. Flows in Truckee are about 350, Hirschdale 750, and around Reno, near 600. Water

It seems that dry/dropper rigs and streamers have been doing the best. Zuddlers, zonkers and double bunnies have been good streamer patterns, in bright colors like yellow and white. Chubby Chernobyls or stimulators with a PT or zebra dropper have been doing well also.

I've been seeing a lot of rods getting bent, doubled over to the cork bent lately on the Truckee. These Truckee River fish pull hard. We were tearing them up on the dry dropper rigs, riding the gravy train until they bumped the flows up again. 750 cubes and above through the Hirsch and down below. Fish the mid sections of river, or through town

It's been a few years since I've been able to effectively fish all my old slots and seams here on the Cali side. The water over the past couple springs has just been so dam high. The Nevada side is usually a hundred or so cfs lower, which makes it easier to fish. Sure we caught our fair share of fish up here, but I

It's a smorgasbord of bugs up here on the Truckee River. Flows are a perfect 520 coming out of Boca. The upper river just got some water in it today with releases out of Tahoe. Green Drakes are finally out in good numbers, pmds, caddis, yellow stones, and now some goldens. Looks like a Hometown Buffet on a Friday night. Find out what fish are

The Ranch is fishing well also, streamers have been very good down there this past week. Zuddlers, moal leeches and sculpzillas have been good in bright colors like whites and yellows. Also nymphs like princes, dark lords and pheasant tails have been doing well in addition to the flies mentioned. above.
