Flows have been dropping on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Flows have been dropping on the Truckee River. Big and steady at around 1,700 cfs, here in Hirschdale. Down from 4,000 cfs just a few weeks ago. Have we seen the big run-off? I guess. Never did get as big as ’18. I’m surprised Rivers cleared up pretty good around here, little dirty down below, but not bad. Still getting calls about the river being high. Yeah, it’s

Truckee River Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The downward trajectory seen on the USGS flow charts are great to see after this extended runoff season this year. However, expect higher than average flows all the way through fall this year, due to the possibility of large releases out of the several lakes that feed the river. Larger than average release will be a good thing for our fisheries. Water flowing in from

Trollers have been more successful in the early morning hours on the west shore using Flashers, Rapalas, or needlefish lures.

June is Prime Time at Pyramid!

by BEARFISH ALLIANCE STAFF

June is probably the most overlooked month at Pyramid Lake. In late April and early May we see the crowds pretty much disappear, and in our heads it is hard to figure out why. Especially this season as we are having a huge inflow from the Truckee River, so water level is up and the temps are just great. As of this writing we are seeing

Baily is fishing excellent

Baily Fishing Pond

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Baily is fishing excellent and has been stocked several times this season. The most consistent way of catching fish at Baily is salmon eggs under the bobber. Fly fisherman slowly retrieving peacock bodied nymphs will find fish just about any time. Trout fishing will continue to be good until water temperatures really climb. After that, anglers should find excellent green sunfish fishing through mid summer.

Walleye fishing continues to be good

Firing off on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Yes, good fishing. Big fish time. Most folks think the rivers too high and not fishing. Well, think that. The Truckee River has actually come down a lot in a week. 2,380 cfs, here in Hirschdale. Down from 4000 and change last week. Good clarity too. Down river a bit bigger and becoming fishable. Off color, but not bad. You can probably hit some spots down

The Truckee has been pumping out some great fish as of late

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee has been pumping out some great fish as of late. As mentioned above, the river is dropping quickly which indicates stellar fishing in the weeks ahead. As of now, the river is still flooding the banks at spots which means some bushwhacking will be necessary at times to get to the prime holding water. Even with the big drop in flows, we are

Fishing is slowly picking up

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing is slowly picking up but continues to be slow compared to most years. The water continues to be a tea-stained color due to the release of tannins from the rehydration of the vegetation surrounding the lake. Surface water temperatures are in the low 60’s. Largemouth bass have been staging for the last two weeks. Despite slower catch rates, anglers can still expect to catch
