Truckee River

Flows are in the neighborhood of 2500-4500 CFS between Truckee and the upper canyon. For many, this is a great time to stock up on some last minute fly tying...

Big spring flows on the Truckee River.

About 2,300 cfs here in the Hirsch. Lots of water getting dumped out of Lake Tahoe. We all know how good the fishing was last spring in the high flows. Kinda your chance to hook those trophy trouts.

Weathers have been nice, looks like rain this weekend, look for a big bump in flows.

Anywhere you can find slack water you should find...

Truckee River 

It’s great to be back working the Truckee River again, and with the high flows and another atmospheric river approaching, it’s amazing how productive the fishing can be there with big water. Currently, the flows along Glenshire drive are at 1,940 cubes, Boca Bridge is at 3,420, and near the bottom of the canyon, Farad is running at 3,610 cfs. Water temps...

Truckee River

Coming off a pretty good week on the Truckee River. 

Hard to say what this week looks like with all the rain and snow coming. Should blow up the river a bit with these warmer storms. Will be good for fishing though. Spring flows are the time to get them big trout. I love that muddy water.

More cold and snow on the Truckee River.

Ain’t much to report since last report.

This week looks to be the same as last week with the exception of a big storm by weeks end. So more cold and snow and ice in the guides type of winter fishing. That’s ok, we really need the snow.

If you plan on fishing think small midges, mayflies, worms and eggs. Fish the during...

Jon Baiocchi Reports on 2.15.2018

Cooler weather and a dusting of snow here in Nevada city on Monday morning, north wind had a bite to it as well. Making good upstream presentations posed major problems too, but a switch in tactics with a downstream fly first delivery solved the war against the wind. Flows have been stable for the most part on the Lower Yuba River and are currently flowing at 950...

From warm to bitter cold today on the Truckee River.

We actually had a dusting of snow fall last night. Very cold temps today and a warm up towards the weekend.

Not much change to report other than the weather. Pretty warm daytime highs for the last few weeks and now one of the coldest days of the year. Flows have remained about the same all month.

350 cubes here in the...

Locked into high pressure.

Mild weather for this time of year on the Truckee River. Feels about like April. Of course this mild weather warms up the water and the trouts get more active.

Flows are still pretty good in both states despite the lack of snow. Seems like they’re holding water back in anticipation of another bad winter. This warm weather has got some bugs...

Matt “Gilligan” Koles Reports on 1.22.2018

Cold is kinda the word.Just been cold this last week on the Truckee River. Water temps are stuck in the mid 30’s. Not that easy when the water gets that cold. Trouts move back in the frog water with cold water temps.

We’ll see what this week brings. Maybe a few feet of snow? I hope. Then we look to dry out again?

So for now look for water that’s moving at a...

Matt Gilligan Koles Reports on 1.18.18

Finally a little rain and snow.

Kinda what we needed to give a little spark to the Truckee River.

Flows doubled up overnight the other night and are now back down. It will come up with this storm. So expect some higher muddy water until about Friday. Good, that’s what you want. Not the stagnant conditions we had all month of December. It’s much warmer now too....
