The Little Truckee River is fishing well despite the large numbers of anglers. Last week I counted 33 vehicles from the top lot to the outlet. Lots of pressure, but unique in the realm, you can find your own space - Do not despair. TBS; Tiny Black Shit with a worm for indicator rigs is the top producer. Think small ball whether nymphing, or making dry fly...

Good solid fishing on the Truckee River.

Cold nights, mild days. Should cool more this week with high’s only in the 50’s. Nights will be in the upper teens.

So, the best fishing should be mid-day at least on the Cali side. The Nevada side stays warmer, but both sides have been fishing well, all around, any time. Flows are still above average for October and...

Pretty good to very good fishing on the Truckee River.

Numbers wise we’re doing good with the occasional bigger fishing coming around.

The colder weather seems to have pushed a lot of fish in close/tight, so the summer really fast water is becoming less important. I’ve been cleaning house with the dry dropper combos. Streamer fishing is picking up and you can...

More like fall, less like summer on the Truckee River.

It really is crazy how quick the weather has turned. Scorching hot, now cold mornings and mild days. In fact it has rained almost every afternoon here in the Hirsch the last week and our heater has kicked on every morning in the house. Bring a warm jacket for anywhere you fish along the Truckee River in...

I’ve been roaming back and forth from the Truckee area to the North Fork Yuba River for the past few months, and now it’s time to concentrate my guiding over to the Truckee River and Little Truckee River area for fall. I really can’t wait to be on the Northern Sierra stillwaters as well in a week or two when the water temperatures come down a little more. The...

The last hurrah of summer. Hopefully everyone had a great Labor Day Weekend.
A very hot weekend up here in Tahoe/Reno on the Truckee River. I had 2 clinics this weekend, so thanks for everyone that participated. Hopefully you got something out of it.

We can start thinking about fall fishing now. It’s suppose to cool some this week. Highs should be back down in...

Cool nights, warms days, late summer fishing on the Truckee River.

Fishing is pretty good. Lots of small fish with an occasional big. The best time to fish is 9-11:30. Seems like that’s when we connect. Probably the window when the the trouts and the bugs are moving around the most. It’s gonna get hot again this week, and mornings and evenings will be your best bet....

Finally a major cool down here on the Truckee River. Thunderstorms every afternoon have cooled things down.

Right when I thought the weather would never change, summer monsoons have hit the Truckee/ Reno area. August is usually kind of the time when we get some good afternoon rains. Obviously, the clouds and rain have made the fishing much better. A man could fish right...

Hot is the word here in Tahoe/Truckee/Reno on the Truckee River.

Nice in the mornings, hot as hell in the afternoons. They will set a record for consecutive days over 90 in Reno this summer. Thankfully, we have water in the river this summer or they’d been nuked already.

I have done a little guiding in NV-Reno, on the Truckee River. The future looks bright...

Flows are now average on the Truckee River.

Mid-July was my guess, and now flows are at right near 500 cfs here in the Hirsch. Just about average, normal mid-July flows.

Last week was a little weird with the dropping flows. This week should be better as trouts will have adjusted to the change. They should be in the fast pocket water, slots. The water is warming fast now...
