Truckee Tahoe Fly Fishing Blog

Happy New Year! Welcome to the first fishing report of the season. This report will focus the the main #Truckeeriver. I don't plan on more than a monthly update at this point unless there are drastic changes. We are still dealing with the snow from the December storms and the weather, while sunny, has been kinda cold. It is January after all. Access is limited by parking since most of the parking is snow storage or not plowed like the Little Truckee for example. The fa

This report will focus on the #Truckeeriver. It looks like the nice fall type weather we have been experiencing is giving way to more winter like pattern. If this storm comes to fruition this will impact the access to the Truckee River as well the surrounding venues like the Little Truckee. I don't know about you but, I am ready for some skiing! Looking forward to it in fact. Up to this point the fly fishing has been good and typical for the current conditions that we hav

Having trouble catching fish in the Truckee River? Well you aren't the only one. More and more I'm getting calls from people saying they can't get a #fish on the #Truckeeriver. Lucky me, it's another day of work. So, after two plus decades guiding anglers of all types on the Truckee River and surrounding area, here are four tips for a better day. First, while planning your adventure to the Truckee River, check the flows here . You're looking for large changes 150cfs +/-

This report will focus on the #Truckeeriver and a few outlying venues. We are currently enjoying a nice cool down from last weeks summer like temperatures. The fishing has been very good. #Fish are looking up for those big bugs and even the smaller ones. The Truckee River flows are still good. How much longer they stay up remains to be seen. Fish while the fishing is good. Meanwhile, out on to the smaller backcountry creeks the fishing has been good as well. Lower than

This May 19th report will focus on the Truckee River. The #Truckeeriver has been producing some solid fish lately. There are lots of bugs popping and the water is warming up and pretty clear. This time of year is always tough because there is so much food available for the fish eat. I have see BWO's in large numbers still, March Browns, Golden Stones, and Ants. Given the high flows it is difficult to find places to safely cross so keep that in mind when you choose your l

This flyfishing report will focus on the Truckee River. It is still early in the season up here. The mornings are cold so no need to get out at the crack of dawn. The water and the fish are cold in the morning. There is minor runoff happening on the #truckeeriver but not enough to affect the fishing. Most of the flow is coming out of #Tahoe at this point and will be the number to watch as this season starts to play out. There are BWO's hatching mid-day and some Skwalas

This report will cover the #truckeeriver. It is pretty much ground hog day around here. The storms from a few weeks ago gave us enough snow and water that we are pretty much at the same levels as the last report. We are still below normal. Come on March, let it snow! The flows out of Lake Tahoe and Stampede have be bumped up a little but everything is about the same. The fish are there and the ones that a getting caught are looking pretty darn nice. Remember to fish the

It is snowing lightly as I write this #flyfishing report for the #Truckeeriver and #Littletruckee Rivers. We need the snow. Currently, we are lagging behind in snow and water which we need for fishing and other activities summer. No need to panic yet but a few weeks of snow would be really nice for the short and long term. Conditions are pretty similar to my last report. This is generally the slowest time of the year for the catching. I would suggest taking some laps at

The Fly Fishing up here continues to be pretty good and the fish are still looking up. Love the #dryfly eat.

The #FlyFishing in the Truckee area is good right now. This report will focus on the #Truckeeriver and the local #reservoirs.

The cloudy days have produced some nice hatches with fish looking up. This last warm spell got the water flowing again and the Ants Flying

The general season has opened which has opened up access to the waters that have been closed all winter. We now have options.

Good time to catch some fish on top but you are going to work for it. Dry/Dropper and Nymphing techniques are the consistent producers
