Flows have been cut in half on the Truckee River coming out of Boca. Thank God, because there was no way with Boca being as low as it is that we would have any water left come this sumer. We probably still won’t anyway, have any water left later this summer, but at least the river may have some water in it for a while.

That being said the river is fishing...

I guess it’s spring here on out. Summer will come early this year. Get your fishing in on the Truckee River now until July.

I do not know when the flows will go down on the Truckee this year, but they are dumping a lot of water out of Boca right now.

Right now the fishing is superb for early April. Fish are spread out and you can just about find them in any...

Cold and wind and snow in the Tahoe region on the Truckee River. It has been very cold the last few days. Snow is on the way today and more could be on the way next week. Since the flows have came up the river has been fishing pretty well. Flows came up below Boca last week. The added volume has spread the fish out. Flows are up and good throughout the entire...

Pyramid Lake right now can be a numbers game if you hit it right. Pyramid strain cutts are cruising the beaches looking for mates, spawning time you know. It still can be tough if you have no wind and direct sun, kinda what we’ve been having. You’re looking for some chop and or cloud cover. I’m not for getting there at 5 a.m., but if you do great, if not stay for the afternoon bite, more my style...

More and more more summer weather it the Tahoe area, geez, it feels like early June up here and it’s the last week of March. Things may get interesting come April, Im telling you, winter is not over.

The Truckee River is continuing to produce some great fish and fishing. After all the shit they went through last fall with the extreme low water, thesefish...

A little rain and snow in the Tahoe area today, but I do mean little.

Fishing is good in both states. Lot’s of stuff starting to happen on the river bug wise. Everything will go off earlier than usual this year unless April brings cold and snow. Hard to say what’s going to happen as the MJO, or the way they measure the Pacific water temps, is entering a wet...

It has been cold this week on the Truckee River. 8 degrees this morning in the Hirsch. It is going to get warm though through this weekend. Mother Nature will once again slap us around with high pressure this week into next and daytime temps will be well above normal; which will make for good fishing. With the warm weather we should see some skawala stones later...

Well, we went from t-shirt weather back to freezing your ass off weather in less than 24 hours. I told everyone that winter is far from over. All we need now is the high pressure that has been siting off the coast all winter to continue to move west across the Pacific. With a little luck we can get some storms to slide on down from Alaska. Lets keep our fingers...

The Truckee River is fishing very well for this time of year. The river feels like about mid-April, meaning the river is fishing how it would early spring, not
late winter, minus the bugs. The water is still cold, but warming some
during the day and the fish are spreading out into different areas of
the river. I’m not just fishing the winter frog water. Yes,...
