Fish Reports

Steptoe Creek is flowing well below normal due to the drought and fishing is difficult except in the pools and springheads. Dry flies are the way to go. As of September 16, Steptoe Creek was flowing at a very low 1.74 cfs which is about 30% of normal.

Pulled away from the fish at 9:30 am. Counts can go 30-50 fish very easily right now with mixed bags daily.

This is some interesting news for our local anglers. We are getting rainbow trout brought in from a hatchery in Colorado. These stocking were first started by our last pest abatement manager. The purpose was to help with the caddis fly problem. which the trout have been proven to be very effective by feeding on these insects. Our local angler of about 33 years Bill

The good news first, cool Fall weather on the Truckee River. Record high’s last week, and now very cool Fall like weather. Barely getting into the 70’s, with lows in the 30’s at night. Bad news. The Mosquito Fire south of Truckee is pumping smoke into Truckee, and Lake Tahoe/ Reno. Mornings the air quality ain’t bad, but in the afternoons, its pretty miserable and unhealthy. School

We’re starting to get a few calls for bookings on the ranch and with the weather starting to change we’ll probably be able to start getting anglers on the water next week some time, if you want to book a date, just give us a call.          

After the heat spell in our area over Labor Day weekend, we are happy to see cooler days starting today as well as some potential thunderstorms over the next few days. Unfortunately, now we are having some smoky days with the Mosquito Fire burning near Forest Hill, but so it goes. For those looking to get out despite the smoke, there is light at the

The Truckee River continues to fish well as we enter into mid September. Flows have remained consistent on the Nevada side and it’s been a pleasant surprise to see flows in the canyon section hover around 500 cfs. Typical of late summer, crayfish have made up a significant portion of the trout’s diet in the river. We are still experiencing hot days and as a

Our local angler Mark Osgood also known as corn man you might find him at our local events selling corn also likes fishing. In this case he was up on Lake Mohave using one of his favorite swim baits and landed this nice 9.22-pound striper at 31 inches.  I have been hearing that the lake has been producing a few stripers around the dam on

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

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 are excited to announce the 2022 "The Gear Up For The Mid Event". This is our second running of the show and it is shaping up to be a great one! We are calling out to all Pyramid Lake enthusiasts to join us at Battle Born Beer on September 27th from 6-9 pm to enjoy Battle Born Beer, Tacos, and check out all the

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

A very good morning on the lake.... Looks like fish for days for dinner . Good stuff guys

We are having a great striper bite here along our shores and water way the Colorado River. Anglers are having success using anchovies and various swim baits. The shore that has been doing very well for a lot of anglers as we have some great spots where the fish hold up. The trout have been stocked by our city and anglers have been landing a

Beginning Tuesday, September 6th, 2022, Cave Rock State Park's boat ramp will be open from 6:00am - 4:30pm. i#discovernvstateparks

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

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, 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 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
