Good fishing on the Truckee River.  The smoke has rolled back in though. Some days are better than others with the smoke. Just depends on what the winds doing.

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Haymeadow and Cold Springs have been very good for bass, fair for crappie, and hit or miss for trout. With waters shallow and temperatures hot, early morning hours are the best time for fishing. Vegetation is taking over the shallows. Using weedless hooks and small barbless flies helps minimize plant hookups. Adams-McGill is producing a few nice trout on Rooster Tails and bass on plastics.

Anglers are finding the best time to fish is right after sunrise. Bluegill are providing good action at Floyd Lamb, Lorenzi, and Sunset parks. Lorenzi also has green sunfish swimming in the shallows. These fish are small with small mouths, so hooks no larger than #10 and mealworms are recommended. Bright-colored poppers and spinnerbaits are bringing in bass.
