Stocking notice: 800 Rainbow trout were released today at the Willow Beach fishing pier in Willow Beach, AZ. Thursday, August 13th, 2026  

Water temps here on the Truckee are hitting the 68-degree threshold daily along most of the river, with maybe the exception of right below the confluence of Boca Reservoir. Please focus on fishing during the early morning hours and bring a thermometer with you, to know when to call it quits. At least as the days continue to get shorter, the starts can get a

Our local angler, Steve Beasely, landed a couple of nice stripers while trolling on Lake Mohave near Davis Dam. He was using a jig to land these fish, and other anglers are also getting a few stripers on anchovies and swim baits. Here along the shores of the Colorado River below Davis Dam, anchovies have been producing very well. We have a lot of great spots

Hot is the word on the Truckee River. Big heat wave all over the West right now.  Get your asses out there early if you want any good trout fishing. The window is early and not for long. Meaning after about 11:00, put a fork in it.  (Trout are cold blooded creatures. They need cold clean water. When the water gets above a certain temperature, say 67,

The boat dock has been removed for the season due to low water levels. Surface water temps are rising into the mid-to-high 70s. Algae is growing slower than past years, with decent visibility up to 4 feet. Water levels are down about 20 feet and will continue to drop. Rainbow trout, brown trout, tiger trout and wiper were stocked this spring. Trout fishing remains fair to

Due to critically low water levels, most remaining fish were salvaged and transported to South Fork Reservoir. Jiggs Reservoir will likely go dry in the coming months.

The ranch is also still fishing well with much of the same patterns as listed above. It's probably best to reserve half day sessions in the morning as opposed to full days for the next 5 or 6 weeks.

Here’s the latest Colorado River fishing report from below Davis Dam! Our local angler, Matt Crowder, landed some beautiful striped bass while fishing from his boat. He was using a swimbait, and it proved to be a very effective technique. These stripers are a great eating size—easy to fillet and perfect for a delicious meal. We've also been hearing that anglers fishing from shore are having good

Current Water Conditions Flows measuring 289 CFS out of Tahoe City, 314 CFS through the town of Truckee, 494 CFS by the Boca Bridge, and 549 CFS near Farad. Flows are still really great for this time of the year and the watermaster is still releasing a good bit of water from Lake Tahoe into the Upper Truckee River. Rising water temperatures make fishing mid-day stressful

We have our local angler, Mike Merritt, with a nice mixed bag of fish! He was targeting stripers using anchovies and ended up landing some beautiful catfish as well. We do have channel catfish in the river, and it's always nice to see a few being caught. There are plenty of folks who enjoy these fish for the table. While we're on the subject of catfish, have

A HAB Watch Advisory has been issued for Washoe Lake. If you're planning to fish, you're encouraged to choose another location until testing is complete. If you do fish at Washoe Lake, thoroughly clean your catch before eating. See Nevada State Parks' post below for more information.

The Farad gauge has been hitting 68 Degrees daily, and the Sparks gauge has been showing upwards of 75! At these temps, the best place to fish will be anywhere from Hirschdale to the Nevada stateline where temps on the river will be at their coldest. The name of the game will be fishing from sunup until a bit after noon. If you are still
