Fish have been caught on a variety of flies and techniques recently

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River is currently flowing around 330 cfs at the USGS gauge near downtown Reno. While flow has dropped here in town over the last few weeks, 330 cfs is a great flow to see in October. This should set up our Fall fishing well and as we move into the winter months. Fish have been caught on a variety of flies and techniques recently.

The conditions remain incredibly consistent

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The conditions remain incredibly consistent yet again this week with flows at the Farad gauge reading around 450 CFS and water temps swinging from 52-58 degrees throughout the day. This will make fishing better later in the day and early morning starts are not only unnecessary but can in fact not be as productive as midday or late evening fishing. The fishing seems to get

Water levels at Jakes Creek are in good shape, appearing to have risen slightly in recent weeks, with the weed growth being somewhat reduced.

Jiggs Reservoir (Zunino Reservoir)

Wilson Reservoir

Water quality at Wilson Reservoir remains fair with relatively clear water and only a few patches of algae. Water levels at Wilson have been declining and the boat ramp will not be useable for larger watercraft and likely completely inoperable by the end of October.

The degraded water quality due to an algal bloom is slowly clearing up with water temperatures dipping into the 50s.
