Things sure have changed in the last week.
Temps have finally cooled and we are having highs in the 70’s in Tahoe. I needed this and so did the trouts.
Lows have been in the 30’s in the Hirsch, the heater is kicking on in the house in the mornings, fall is near.
With the drops in temps its obviously cooled water temps. That has made the fishing very inconsistent this last...

Good solid fishing on the Truckee River. That’s in the mornings.
Still very hot in the afternoons, cool in the mornings, and actually smoke free the last few days.
Looks like we may have a cool down this week with highs back in the 80’s. Been hot the last 6 weeks. Reno set a record for consecutive days over 100. It was the hottest July on record in California. Every...

A tad cooler, but still hot, and some days lots of smoke on the Truckee River.
Sad for communities affected by the fires. I think most of Northern California is under a blanket of smoke. Some days are better than others in the Tahoe/ Reno area depending on which way the winds are blowing.
The fishing is good in the mornings on the Truckee River. Crayfish, stones, caddis,...

Morning is the best time on the Truckee River.
Give yourself a break, it’s about 95’ish on the lower river in the afternoons. 100 in Reno.
Nice and cool and really good solid fishing in the morning. Hot and smoke in the afternoons. Kinda the way it is in the summer on the Truckee River.
Crayfish, nocturnal stones, caddis and baetis should be in the nymph box. Get after it...

Good fishing happening on the Truckee River.
Hot in afternoons, cool in the mornings. Good flows, and good numbers, if you can wade and pick through the pocket water.
We are getting a little monsoonal push. Thunderstorms in the afternoons which feels really nice. It has been in the mid-90’s all week here in the Hirsch, Sacramento kinda hot. Feels good to cool down a...

Good solid fishing on the Truckee River. Flows have been bumped up a bit, but not much change since last week. Get out in the mornings and you’ll get some fish. Afternoons maybe not so much. It is hot, around 90’ish every afternoon in the Hirsch. Very nice in the mornings.
About water temps. Temps will get warm above the outflow of the Little Truckee River....

Heating up here on the Truckee River.
Figured the heat of summer would kick in at some point. High’s are near 90 here in the Hirsch, and just plain hot in Reno. The river is fishing well in the mornings and shitty mid-day. Like I always say this time of year, take a break and come back right before dark.
Mudbugs and stones and pmds, and lots and lots of caddis. Nymphing...

Good solid fishing here on the Truckee River.
Nice in the mornings, downright hot in the afternoons. Typical summer weather pattern. There ain’t much difference between the high temp in Hirschdale and downtown Reno. It gets hot.
Flows have come back up with releases out of Lake Tahoe. Nice cool water coming down the pipe.
Water is about 450 cfs here in the Hirsch...

Good solid fishing here on the Truckee River.
Super nice weather and really good fish’n. Flows are great and the bugs are out. June is always a good month when we have normal flows. We got lucky and and had some rain and we saw some serious green drake action. Just have to be on the river at the right time and get lucky. Nymph during the day, and dry fly fish in the...

Kinda on fire.
I only say that a few times a year. Yes, the Truckee River is fishing very well right now. Flows have dropped to just about average and the water is warming. Bugs and fish galore. I did have one bad day last week. We fished streamers all day, some days they just don’t chase. If you nymph, or throw the dry dropper, you’ll catch fish.
Ants, no...
