A cold cloudy week on the Truckee River.

Looks like more of the same this week too. Actually, good for winter fishing. The clouds seem to keep things warmer. Like a blanket so to speak over the river.

Good streamer fishing on the Nevada side of the river. East through the Nature Conservancy, we had a couple really good days. Brown trout are post spawn. They are hungry...

Looking good on top.

Guessing we got over 4 feet in most upper elevation spots this last week. Maybe some more snow around the 10th, but for now, cold this week until the weekend. Cold duster coming in mid-week, not much snow, probably just enough to mess up the driveway.

Cold here in the Hirsch, not much snow, maybe a few inches hanging around. We get shadowed mainly,...

A little rain and snow for the Truckee River.

Much warmer and much better fishing the last few days. We just needed a little weather to kinda stir things up a bit.

Couple feet of snow up top and mostly rain here in the Hirsh. Not enough rain to blow out the river, but much needed. Flows are about the same as last week all over the river, Ca, and Nv. More on the way this...

Snow in the forecast for Tahoe.

Gotta love that. Rain for Nor Cal, gotta love that too.

Really what we need fishing wise for the Truckee River. The rest of this month might actually be pretty good.Clouds and rain are better than stagnant, clear and cold conditions. Looks like slight ridging for next week, so dry, and then maybe, just maybe a zonal jet stream for...

November is the new October on the Truckee River.

Should be a much better month fishing wise on the Truckee River. While most of the Rockies are getting snow, it’s been warm in the Sierra’s. Last few weeks of October and this last week were just too hot/ sunny for good fall fishing. We had some good days, but all in all not that consistent fall fishing we’re looking...

Pretty good solid fishing on the Truckee River.

I think we had a great Advanced Fly Fishing Clinic this weekend. Most of the dudes have been out with me before, so not sure who much they learned, but we did do the clinic deep on the NV side, so at least it was new water. I have changed a few different leader rigs and things so…That, plus grilled ducks and IPA’s for...

What a difference a week makes.

Summer turned to fall on the Truckee River. I needed it. Ain’t easy catching trouts when it’s 94 degrees out. Ain’t easy on the body either. We’ve had clouds, rain, and even a duster of snow on the peaks. The fishing is much, much better on the entire Truckee River.

We’ve wrecked ‘em on the streamers a few days last week on the lower...

Finally a break in the weather. Fall is here on the Truckee River.

Near record high’s in Reno this past weekend and now very cool fall like weather in the Truckee Meadows, and Truckee/ Lake Tahoe area. Time to get the wood stacked.

Very tough fishing at times, and now pretty good fishing. Those last few weeks of September were hot. It’s nice to actually have some cool,...

Rolling right through September on the Truckee River.

Cold nights, warm afternoons on the Truckee side, cool nights, and hot afternoons on the Reno side. Be nice to get some weather, but hard to complain about how nice the weather is.

Not much change really in the last few weeks on the river. Flows and weather and bugs remain about the same.

Key would be to fish all...

Summer is gone on the Truckee River, and fall fishing now.

Kids are in school, the burners are done, the last party of summer. Time to get serious with some fall fishing.

We’ll pretty much have an empty river now except for some weekends. I’m guessing the flows will stay up out of Lake Tahoe this fall, but hard to say. Regardless, I think flows will be good for the next 3...
