: TRUCKEE RIVER: Spring flows have topped 3000 cfs making access tough. Clarity should be best in the mornings before snowmelt increases with afternoon temperatures. Those brave enough to fish it are reporting a few fish in the 12-16 range on streamers and larger nymphs. Dead drifting along the banks has been the key to success. Very few fish will be in open water with the extreme flows. Anglers should expect increasing flows and a peak near the end of May making all fishing tough until we see a drop in flows.

| 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. |
