Until water temperatures come down a bit more, trout fishing will remain slow, especially from shore. The trout bite is better for boaters who can reach the deeper, cooler water. Trout are hitting combinations of PowerBait and worms, as well

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

Here along the shores of the Colorado River, the striper bite has been steady with plenty of hookups. Most of the action has been from smaller fish getting to the bait first, but some bigger catches are coming in as well. Local angler Mike Selby landed a beautiful 8.21-pound, 30-inch striper—light for its length—but his 25.92-pound, 41-inch trophy striper is an outstanding catch. He was fishing

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

That's a wrap for Summer on the Truckee River. The kids are back in school, and the last of the burners leaving town, good riddance. Should probably be pretty mellow in town and on the river here on out. Not at all hot, stark contrast to some late Summers we've had in the past. No smoke, and no fires either. Flows have also remained very good. Fishing has

Truckee River

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The daily thunderstorms kept us a bit on our toes this week. We saw an overall dip in water temp, but they were certainly all over the place and still warmer than expected. Most of the days the rain did little to change flows on the Truckee. Other days, we saw a huge short-lived spike from very localized rain events, which even caused mudslides on
