Fish Reports

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 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. 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.

What a fun trip !!! fishing was O.K. but what a great group

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

August continues to impress on the Truckee River. Historically, August has been a good month for me. Photo above is from an August past.Not so much the last few years. This year, it’s been different though. Not that hot, and overnight lows have been relatively cool, too cold. These trouts are still munching on crayfish. Nymph up in the fast current, pocket water, and you should have

The West has been producing some fish, especially down near the town of Walker as well as the upper end of Walker Canyon near the bridge on Highway 395. Panther Martins and Roostertails have been good spinners to try, salmon eggs, power eggs and crawlers have been good baits. Fly anglers are still doing well with hoppers, stimulators, chubby Chernobyl’s, copper johns, pheasant tails and prince nymphs.

What a great way to spend your 70th birthday Great job guys !!

Cooler nights this past week have helped the Truckee River cool down slightly. The morning bite until 10am is still the best time to fish and the most ethical for catch and release fishing. Fishing in the afternoons is still not recommended as the trout mortality goes up in water that is warmer than 64 degrees. If you plan to fish the afternoons, please check
