Fish Reports


Flows are still decreasing slightly on the Truckee River

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
Water Conditions Flows are still decreasing slightly on the Truckee River. Water levels are low from Tahoe City to Boca Reservoir, but the color remains clear. With the heat wave the area will see this weekend, water temperatures could be warm during the day, so it is recommended to fish in the evenings and mornings until things cool down. The flows from Tahoe City are 72

Truckee River Fly Fishing Report

by MATT KOLES
Major heat wave all over California. Especially hot for us here on the Truckee River. Topping out at around 96, here in Hirschdale. Better than the 115 degrees in Sacto though. Hot in Reno, and down on the river there. It’s always warm early September, but this is a different level. Gonna get back in the 70’s next weekend, with lows in the 30’s. Of course that

We expect the river to warm quickly this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
With the hottest weather seen in weeks expected all this week, please limit your time on the Truckee River to early mornings and be sure to keep that thermometer handy. We expect the river to warm quickly this week, especially along sections such as 89-South, down Glenshire Road, and the low flow sections found in Reno. Therefore, we recommend fishing anywhere from the Boca confluence

Typical late Summer weather and fishing

by MATT KOLES
Pretty much the same ole thing on the Truckee River. Good solid fishing in the mornings, slow in the afternoons. Typical late Summer weather and fishing. The water has cooled significantly over the last week. I take a dip every afternoon in the river, and it’s numbing now. That’s at least here in Hirschdale, where there’s a good flow of cold water coming out of Boca. Up

We’ll start booking more days on the ranch some time after Labor Day

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
The ranch is in much the same shape as the Cali side of the river, though parts of it have some shade from the willows and some extra water that comes in from several springs that cool it down a few degrees it’s still probably time to let those fish rest for a while. We’ll start booking more days on the ranch some time after

The River is on fire right now!

by RIVER KING TACKLE AND OUTFITTERS
The River is on fire right now, lots of big stripers in the Laughlin / Bullhead Area. Big Sticks, Glidebaits and Jerkbaits all in trout pattern working best. Full Fish Report will be posted in the morning. Today was great, we were literally the only people on the river today due to it being low and us fishing from a drift boat.

The Truckee River is running low and clear

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
The Truckee River is running low and clear through town and Glenshire. Flows have decreased in the past few weeks, but the flow starts to pick up from Prosser Creek to the stateline border. With the days getting shorter and the colder nights already here, temperatures on the river have cooled a bit, which always makes for better fishing conditions. The flows from Tahoe City

Ruby Lake Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The water level is low in the south marsh with levels that haven’t been this low since 2016.  Weed growth is thick, but boats with electric motors can still get around the main channels as gas motors are helping to chop up some of the more popular paths through the marsh.  With surface water temperatures in the mid 70’s the bass bite at Ruby Lake

Surface water temperatures are in the 70’s

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Surface water temperatures are in the 70’s and algae is thick along with scattered weed beds and trout are holding deep except for very early in the morning.  This is not the time of year for catch and release for trout. Anglers report fair fishing for trout from boats or float tubes in deeper water, especially in the canyon by the dam, while shore anglers

Wilson Reservoir Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
No recent report from Wilson, but expect similar conditions as at South Fork Reservoir.  Expect a fair amount of algae and dropping water levels due to irrigation. The best trout fishing should be from a float tube or a small cartop boat or canoe as the boat ramp is out of the water and unusable. Shore anglers should have some luck in the canyon by

South Fork Reservoir Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Very little change here as surface water temperatures are in the high 70’s and fishing for bass has been good while trout fishing has been slow as they move to deeper water. The south end of the lake is very weedy and there is a lot of algae.  Fishing has been fair for 15-to 20-inch trout for spin, bait and fly rodders from boats or

The trout are starting to gear up for fall

by RENO FLY SHOP
The mornings are getting colder as we draw nearer to fall. We may not see much of a change in the afternoon temps being in the mid to high 90s, but with such lower temperatures overnight and in the morning fishing has been good. The Truckee River has been somewhat dirty in the last few weeks due to strong thunderstorms. As of recent, the river

Fishing has been fair to slow

by DOUG BUSEY
 Fishing has been fair to slow. I recommend getting out as early as you can to beat the heat. Most trollers have gone deeper off the east and north shore. The water level has been going down slowly over the last couple weeks.

Fishing for trout has been great while the smallmouth fishing has been good

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing for trout has been great while the smallmouth fishing has been good. Trout fishing has been best early and late in the shallows or in deep water during the day. Trout are actively cruising the shallows for damsels and other insects when the sun is off the water. Bass fishing has been best from a boat with jigs and spoons off the deeper points

The lake is down and fishing has been excellent

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The lake is down and fishing has been excellent. Walleye and carp fishing has slowed some with the high temps. Bass fishing is really good with some excellent white bass and wipers reported recently. Catfishing has been good 24 hours a day. Bass fishing along the sandy beaches will continue to be best in the afternoons until we see water temperatures really climb. White and
