: TRUCKEE RIVER: The Truckee's current flow in Reno is + 541cfs. Stream flow is on the decrease. The Truckee was last stocked on 5/21/13 with 4,428 rainbow trout. Fishing will continue be difficult in the next couple of weeks and wading across or near the river will be hazardous. Fly fisherman try large hares ears in natural or olive on top of a pheasant tail. Little yellow stones and Golden stones are very active right now. Dont underestimate the effectiveness of streamers this time of year. Try sculpin and crayfish patterns for best streamer patterns. For traditional anglers this time of year floating salmon eggs, PowerBait and imitating bait fish work well. Fly anglers should concentrate on nymph fishing and streamers. Reported by: NDOW |

| About: -
The Truckee River was originally home to the Lahontan cutthroat trout and the cui-ui lake sucker. During normal years, adult fish would ascend the Truckee and its tributaries (in the case of trout) to spawn. The Truckee River originates at the outlet of Lake Tahoe and flows approximately 110 miles to Pyramid Lake. Of those miles, approximately 40 miles of the river, between the California State line and the beginning of the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation, is managed by NDOW. This river is one of the most heavily fished waters in the state, supporting over 100,000 angler days per year. Anglers can fish for rainbow, brown and cutthroat trout and mountain whitefish.
