The Nevada side of the Truckee River is the best to fish right now

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS

Flows on the Truckee remain excellent. The river is closed from Tahoe City down to the Town of Truckee until the last Saturday of April. The flows are a little low from Truckee down to the Boca Bridge area but they are really good down stream of that. The Nevada side of the River is in the best shape right now especially with the cold

What is the best way to fish the Truckee when the weather is cold?

by MATT KOLES

A cold snap is here on the Truckee River in the greater Truckee-Tahoe-Reno area. Highs won't make it out of the 20's here in Truckee, and the lows will be low. What's that mean for the fishing? Well, honestly, it pretty much sucks when it's this cold. What you mostly get is ice in the guides and unwilling fish. Fish can be caught, but it

Haven't had any reports from the ranch this past couple weeks, my guess is that it's going to be fishing much like the California side of the river, plenty of openings if you want to give it a go!

The Truckee cold weather has lowered the water temps & put the fish into transition

by MATT KOLES

Feels a lot more like winter here in the greater Truckee-Tahoe-Reno area on the Truckee River. This last weeks storm system gave us a little snow and kept daytime temps relatively cold. That has lowered water temps and put fish on the transition. Probably best to change up your game plan from summer time tactics to more winter time tactics. Trout will move into

Anglers have been catching limits of rainbow trout since the last fish plant. PowerBait or Panther Martins have been producing good results, but the trout have not been especially picky.

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

With the high-flow release from Glen Canyon Dam at Lake Powell, the water level at Lake Mead has increased to about 1106 feet. This may have changed some familiar fishing holes and even created new fishing holes. Anglers are still finding gizzard and threadfin shad to be the best bait for striper. They are netting the shad in the backs of coves with

Truckee needs a snow dance but the mild weather has kept the fishing good

by MATT KOLES

Can someone please do a snow dance? Feels more like early October than November in the greater Truckee-Tahoe-Reno area on the Truckee River. I think everyone in Truckee is a little anxious. Our town revolves around snow. The mild weather has kept the fishing good though. Fish are all spread out. Pocket water, riffles, deep slow stuff, all over. That will change with colder weather,

Fish are still on the bite in the greater Truckee-Tahoe-Reno area

by MATT KOLES

Pretty much everywhere on the river is fishing well, both states, California, and Nevada. In California wait a bit, the very cold mornings put the bite off until mid-day. In Nevada it's pretty much good to go, all around, all over. We have baetis in the afternoons pop'n. Look for a cloudy day and you'll see risers, or go out to the LT and it
