Well, after several days of awesome spring weather leading up to Memorial Day weekend, we are back in the soggy days of spring. Love the extra water. We are in for another warm-up during the next week. Conditions are changing on the waters as the watermaster has reduced the flows from Lake Tahoe and some of the other inflows to the main Truckee River. All of the bugs are preparing to complete their life cycles, and more are hatching each week. The overcast day has had several

Welcome to the second spring in Truckee. Everyone is out and about. The bears, the bugs, the flowers, and the anglers all enjoying the beautiful conditions that we currently have. Fish are being caught. More fish are coming off than landed. With the high flows it is very easy for them to take advantage of these conditions and just power away to freedom. Giving us the fin in the process. Fustrating but fun all at the same time. The weather is excellent, and with these wa

It is offically Trout Season. I would like to give a big shout out to all the people that came to the 21st Fishmas Eve fundraiser last Friday night at the Blue Coyote. Thanks for supporting our local Trout Unlimited Chapter 103 Tahoe Trout Bums. It was a great night and we managed to raise a few bucks while giving away some cool prizes, pizza, and beer. Hope to see you next year. On to the Fly Fishing Report. We are anticipating improved weather conditions in the Truckee

Is it spring here or winter? Mother Nature just cannot decide this year. The winter weather the last couple of days is more like what it usually is this time of year. Grab some extra layers and head on out; there are some nice fish to wrangle with. They are fat, strong, and subburn you're going to have to work for them. Nymphing has been the go-to method over the last few days as the water temps have dropped significantly with the last storm. This drop is water temps has sl

The weather last week was very spring like. Now the weather this week is more winter like and more along the lines of what we should expect to see this time of year - a little rain, a little snow, and sun poking through. The last couple of days having been off and on rain, snow, and wind. At the house here we have recieved 1.79 inches of rain. That has caused an increase in flows on most of the rivers and creeks. Looking at the weather forecast it should be freezing at n

What a crazy weather year we have been having. Conditions for fly fishing are as good as they could be for this time of year on the Truckee River. The runoff is happening, and the water is up and on the colder side. I mean, it was just snowing 12 hours ago, and it's not wet wading season yet. There are Skwalas, March Browns, Blue Winged Olives, and Midges out and about. Top water action has been hit or miss, with nymphing as the steady performer lately, with some nice fish be

Well folks groundhog day might be coming to an end. This could be the last weekend to get out and enjoy some easy access winter Fly Fishing here in the Truckee Area. Not much has changed over the last few weeks. The days are slowly getting longer which means a little more time on the water. But hey, it is Winter fishing season out here and Nymphing is going to be the best option. Occasionally there will be some hatches that get the fish looking up and those windows are p

Happy New Year! This report will focus on the Truckee River and current conditions of the area. The snow finally came and in a pretty big way. Its Winter now. For those who know me, I ski patrol during the winter months and, well, I have been doing plenty of ski patrolling lately. While we have had plenty of water this year it is the snow we need for the summer months and early fall. That slow steady melt of the snowpack in the spring and summer is what our fish need to st

Well, its groundhog day again. Super nice fly fishing conditions on the Truckee River, which will be the focus of this report. Winter with cold temps, rain, and snow has yet to show up here in the Truckee Tahoe Area. Mid-day conditions are really good with a little bit of everything working. No need to get out at the crack of dawn because the low lying areas around the river corridor are freezing overnight. It is best to let it warm up a bit, then go chase some fish. Whil

Change is in the air for this report. I will focus on the Truckee and Little Truckee Rivers. After a stellar fall fishing season we are moving into winter. Last week's storm gave us almost 2 inches of water at my house on Thrusday. And another storm is forcast for early this week. Get your cold weather gear together. Fat socks, hat, and gloves are going to be a must moving forward. The flows on the Truckee are up with the storm and they are dumping Donner Lake as well.

Welcome to the Fly Fishing Report. This report will cover the Truckee and Little Truckee Rivers and some of the changes that are going on. The flows have been lowered coming out of Lake Tahoe and have affected the upper river down to Boca inflow. As I am wrighting this it has been raining pretty good for several hours and we are just over an inch of rain today on my rain gauge. That is the biggest storm of the fall and will be adding to the flows in the rivers and creeks
