Jakes Creek Reservoir is maintaining a good water level and the weeds are only now starting to increase. Fishing has been good for 9-to-15-inch trout and largemouth bass up to 14 inches.

Cool Water Temperatures + Stable Flows = Happy Trout

by RENO FLY SHOP

The first part of August has provided some spectacular fly fishing on the Truckee River and other local trout fisheries. Reservoirs upstream have a significant amount of water-resulting in stable flow conditions. Additionally, air temperatures have not exceeded 100 degrees in the Reno-Tahoe area for over a week. This has led to lower water temperatures on the Truckee River and improved fishing conditions. We hope

We had some bookings on the ranch this past week with some anglers not willing to deal with the over abundance of water while other anglers had very good days.

Good Summer fishing on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Flows are about perfect from Boca (Hirschdale) on down through Nevada. Not too hot here in the mountains either. Cool overnight lows, and warm afternoons. Kinda perfect Summer weather.
