Pyramid Lake The LCT spawn is still ongoing at the lake. Fish are shallow and cruising in schools. Some of these shallow fish are willing to eat, but they are few and far between. The fish holding off of drop offs more willing to feed….
Spring runoff is in full swing and the Truckee River should stay on the high side for the next month. It is still very fishable and success is greater if you focus along the edges in softer water. Attractor nymphs, worm patterns and stoneflies are…
Pyramid Lake The Lahontan Cutthroat Trout are in full spawn mode now. We’ve been seeing fish actively trying to create redds in shallow water. These fish and those that are chasing each other in the shallows are not the trout that you want to target….
Truckee River The Truckee River has jumped up a little bit from the last report and is above 2,000 CFS at the Reno gage. The river is a little off color with the increased flow due to recent rains and tributary contribution. The current storms…
Truckee River The Truckee River remains high jumping from 1,500 to 1,800 cfs at the Reno gage depending on storms and precipitation. This is great for fishing as warmer storms will increase the water temperature and the higher water will increase bug activity by scouring…
TRUCKEE RIVER A lot has changed since our last fishing report. Cold storms and a lot of precipitation brought the Truckee River to just under 3,000 cfs, and 33 degrees Fahrenheit. A shock to the system, but one that the river needed and has already…
Things are starting to heat up on Pyramid Lake. Recent storms have brought the fish in close and while air temps have been cold water temps near the shore have been in the high 30’s and low 40’s each afternoon. Anglers have been mixing success…
Truckee River With recent cold and wet storms the river has dropped in temperature dramatically. With water temperatures in the low 30’s fish are in such a slow metabolic rate that finding actively feeding fish is going to be difficult/rare. Focusing on deeper pools and…
We believe the approaching storms should really improve conditions at the lake and on the River. Recent high pressures and blue-bird conditions slowed the fly fishing at Pyramid Lake and the Truckee River. It seems to be okay one day and not so hot the…
