Fish Reports

We only had one reports back this week from the ranch and the anglers we got that from struggled with the higher flows down there. When they were fishing the flows wherein the 280 range and it can be difficult when it's that high. It's much lower than that now and will likely be coming down even more so the fishing down there should be

The reservoir is currently at 110,000 acre feet, therefore the Boat Docks on the Silver Springs side of the park have been pulled for the season. The dock at North Shore Marina will remain in the water until approximately 90,000 acre feet.

Fishing is finally getting better on the Truckee River. That time of year when you get cool/ cold mornings, and hot afternoons. Fishing will always be best mid-mornings now.  Flows have remained pretty good. 480, here in Hirschdale, and on down the river.  We've made it through the dog days. It was hot this Summer. Fishing should steadily get better as we move into Fall.  You probably won't

The temps along most of the Truckee have dropped, but we are seeing warmer weather again this week, which has caused about a degree or so increase every day. On Wednesday we saw the Farad gauge hit 68 degrees once again, so please continue to carry a thermometer with you. With the bright, sunny days again this week, the bigger flies have been a bit

UPCOMING CLOSURE: Visitors to Steptoe Valley and Kirch wildlife management areas should be aware of temporary reservoir closures planned for the week of Aug. 31. Weather permitting, Comins Reservoir at Steptoe Valley WMA and Adams-McGill Reservoir at Kirch WMA will temporarily close while NDOW crews conduct herbicide treatments targeting overabundant cattails and hardstem bulrush. The work will help improve habitat for waterfowl and shorebirds while also improving

Flows measuring 279 CFS out of Tahoe City, 282 CFS through the town of Truckee, 304 CFS in the Glenshire area, and 503 CFS near Farad. Flows are still really great for this time of the year and the watermaster is still releasing a good bit of water from Lake Tahoe into the Upper Truckee River. Rising water temperatures make fishing mid-day stressful for the

Our local angler, Steve Beasley, landed a nice largemouth bass while fishing from his boat. He was using a jig that usually produces a striper or two. We have a great largemouth and smallmouth bass population up on Lake Mohave. These fish are considered sport fish, and most anglers practice catch-and-release with them. Anglers go as far as using live wells to keep their fish healthy

Current Water Conditions Flows measuring 291 CFS out of Tahoe City, 314 CFS through the town of Truckee, 461 CFS by the Boca Bridge, and 497 CFS near Farad. Flows are still really great for this time of the year and the watermaster is still releasing a good bit of water from Lake Tahoe into the Upper Truckee River. Rising water temperatures make fishing mid-day stressful

While we still expect water temps to exceed 68 degrees along a majority of the river this week, the ambient temps have already helped a good bit to cool things down. The section that will hold the best temps will be in the canyon, I.E. Hirschdale to the Nevada state line. If fishing upstream of the Boca confluence or in Nevada, continue to focus on

Water temps here on the Truckee are hitting the 68-degree threshold daily along most of the river, with maybe the exception of right below the confluence of Boca Reservoir. Please focus on fishing during the early morning hours and bring a thermometer with you, to know when to call it quits. At least as the days continue to get shorter, the starts can get a

Our local angler, Steve Beasely, landed a couple of nice stripers while trolling on Lake Mohave near Davis Dam. He was using a jig to land these fish, and other anglers are also getting a few stripers on anchovies and swim baits. Here along the shores of the Colorado River below Davis Dam, anchovies have been producing very well. We have a lot of great spots
