That's a wrap on Summer!

by MATT KOLES
That's a wrap on Summer.  Indian summer now on the Truckee River. Nice brisk mornings, and hot afternoons.  Flows are great for wading and getting around all up and down the river. This is the start of the second season, and in most anglers opinions, the best season to fly fish.  I've mostly downsized my nymphs, and now's a good time to start streamer fishing.  The fishing is good

I think we'll have a great Fall on the Truckee River!

Approximately 6,500 cutthroat were stocked on 08/12, 08/26 and 08/27. Flows have lowered, but are holding and water temperatures have increased slightly, resulting in fair fishing. For flyfishers, royal stimulators, elk hair caddis, royal wulffs, and hoppers should work well. For spinfishers, anglers may want to try a small, clear bobber with a worm.

Fishing remains excellent in the first few miles below Wildhorse Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing remains excellent in the first few miles below Wildhorse Reservoir. Flows are being maintained through August and into September which will continue to result in good fishing into the fall. The grasshoppers are out in force and the trout will be keying in on those so anglers using the classic hopper-dropper rig will find success.

Topaz Lake Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY

Summer Heat is Gone on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES
The Summer heat is gone on the Truckee River. We'll still have our hot days, but its transitioning to Fall. Pine needle season if you know what I mean. It's kinda of an odd time. We really don't have any hatches, trout have been gorging on crayfish, and the streamer fishing ain't good yet.  How do you catch fish then? Well, you don't really need to be out
