With the fish mostly spawning right now, the bite has been a bit tough again this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

With the fish mostly spawning right now, the bite has been a bit tough again this week despite the shift in weather. At this point in the season a good way to find more consistent fishing would be to get out on a boat or float tube and use a slip indicator with midges or leeches, or a fast-sinking line with a larger streamer. For

The rain/snow mix in town has caused a surge in flows along the whole river

by TROUT CREEK FLIES STAFF

The rain/snow mix in town has caused a surge in flows along the whole river, but flows are already dropping and we’d estimate by early in the week we should see things stabilize and the clarity should improve along with it. The river didn’t run “chocolate milk” from this storm and one of the best things about the Truckee is it is very quick to

The rainbow and brown action has been fair to good along the west side

by DOUG BUSEY

When the wind isn't making white caps. The mac fishing has been fair for anglers fishing deep off the Tahoe shoal and Dollar Point. The rainbow and brown action has been fair to good along the west side in the rocky areas. Most have been trolling F7 or F9 Rapalas in Black/silver or tossing tube jigs right along the top of the rocks. For more

The lake is to the top

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake is to the top. The water is cloudy with a little grassy debris on it. The bass fishing is doing very well. As for trout fishing. I fished with my friend Arnie Phelan from Carson City last weekend. We trolled deep and shallow. I must have tried every size and color of Rapalas in my box. Along with a couple secrets that I

Solid to great fishing on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Solid to great fishing on the Truckee River. Pretty incredible March weather wise. That's got the trouts way ahead of schedule. They're feasting on about everything. Spring you will have the must abundant populations of insects in the drift. Good news, this week, we'll get some rains and cloud cover. Will be a good streamer and dry fly fishing week. They opened the plug at Boca, lots

The lake has still continued to fish a bit hot and cold this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The lake has still continued to fish a bit hot and cold this week as the majority of the fish are focused on spawning right now. This is the time of year where we recommend fishing the more gradual drop-offs using an indicator set shallow and fished far from your ladder. These same beaches will also fare well for stripping. As a third option, getting

The Truckee River is seeing flows change not only daily but hourly

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee River is seeing flows change not only daily but hourly as the remaining snow melts from the peaks. This yo-yo pattern you would see when looking at the USGS stream gauges are typical for this time of year, which is a product of ambient temperature swings causing streams to rise and fall over a 24-hour period. However, it is far less drastic this

Spring trout fishing is picking up as water temperatures rise

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Spring trout fishing is picking up as water temperatures rise. Fish are hitting worms, PowerBait and flashy spinners.

The main Truckee River is fishing well right now

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Current Water Conditions The main Truckee River is fishing well right now, thanks to the early spring-like conditions we’ve been experiencing. So far, runoff has been minimal, which has helped maintain good water clarity throughout much of the system. With unseasonably warm temperatures arriving earlier than usual, we’re already starting to see insect activity that typically doesn’t show up until later in the spring. The upper

Now this is some great news! The smaller stripers are in, and anchovies are producing some nice catches. Our local angler, Mike Merritt, is showing off his catch after picking up bait at our shop. He used his boat to reach his favorite fishing spot and landed 9 stripers—just one shy of the 10-fish limit. That’s a great catch for our stretch of the Colorado River

Lake Tahoe Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY

Mackinaw fishing has been a little slow. Best areas have been Dollar Point or the Tahoe shelf using a dodger and a live minnow. Some anglers have been trolling F9 Rapalas in a black and silver pattern. Note: use a little smelly jelly lightly on the back end of your lure. Not to much or you take away the action of the lure. Fellow angler

The lake level keeps coming up a little each day

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake level keeps coming up a little each day. For those that love to do a little bass fishing. Get your bass down there. The smallmouth and largemouth are on their beds starting to spawn. Small hair jigs in an orange pattern have been most productive. The trout are starting to become active in the early mornings in the shallows or on the drop

Winter is over on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Well, Winter is over on the Truckee River. I'm sure we'll still get some weather this Spring, but man, this is crazy. 70's about everyday in Truckee. Needless to say the fishing is pretty darn good. Skwalla's, early caddis, march browns, blue wings. Everything is in the drift and nymphing should get you some. Might get lucky and get some on top too. Spring is usually streamer time,
