Conditions : TRUCKEE RIVER: We seem to have made it through one hot summer with very little relief until the recent rains. Early mornings are the best time to find feeding fish with the low warm water. If you’re practicing catch and release, great care should be used when fighting and handling the trout.

Several of the parks have been stocked by USFW with small cutthroat trout. Small spinners in the deeper pools are catching some holdover fish early in the day. Fly fisherman are still finding some fish when high stick nymphing in the oxygenated pocket water West of Reno. Small flies will start to become key as the water levels continues to fall through summer. Hopper fishing has been fair through the late morning West of Reno. East of town should really start to turn on once we see some freezing temps in the town of Truckee.

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.
