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...

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...
