Conditions
: TRUCKEE RIVER: The Truckee is fishing well now that we are warming up a little. Water temps are near 48 degrees bringing the insects back to life. BWO/Baetis mayflies are hatching in fair numbers on pleasant days and should get better with warmer temps. Until runoff increases the flows, fishing should just get better. Spin fisherman using larger jigs and rapala style minnows are finding some good fish from downtown to sparks. Its a good idea to be aware of the new special regulations that went into effect on the lower river below the Lockwood Bridge if youre headed out. 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.
