The river has really shaped up in the last 2 weeks

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The river has really shaped up in the last 2 weeks, and the Truckee is fishing in its true form. We would typically be approaching the dog days of summer by this point, but this year has been quite a bit different, and only now are we starting to see typical conditions for our river. It seems to be a safe prediction that the Truckee

Great reports back from the first 2 weeks of the season

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Great reports back from the first 2 weeks of the season. Healthy trout averaging 17 inches with a few 20 plus showing up already.  NDOW crews were recently up at Knott Creek Reservoir checking access, water levels, and working on a fish survey.

The opener at Onion was excellent

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Just as anticipated, the opener at Onion was excellent. Fish averaged 13 inches but several people found some carryovers to 19 inches.  The road from the west side is open to access Onion Valley Reservoir. Recent rains have created gullies and ruts in some areas, so be careful when navigating these areas. Most wet flies, spinners, and bait work well at onion. The hardest part

Things are firing off on the Truckee River

Flows have dropped to normal levels. I repeat, flows have dropped to normal levels. Around 650 cfs here in Hirschdale. That’s a normal flow for this time of year. We have a lot of water backed up in the lakes and res’s, so we’re sitting pretty all fall and next winter. I would not be surprised if the river kicks up again when they let

Still feeling and fishing like spring on the Truckee River

Still a bit big, but really not all that bad. She’s getting
