Truckee River Fly Fishing Report

Matt "Gilligan" Koles Reports on December 16th, 2024

Finally getting some snow in Tahoe

It's stacked up for mid-December. Not much down here in Hirschdale, but we usually don't get too much anyways. 

Flows are still great on the Truckee River, and the Winter fly fishing is good. Good all up and down the river. If you fish the Ca side, remember, lows will be very cold at night. You should wait till it warms a bit and trouts get a bit active. 

If you're down on the Reno side, you can get going at a normal fishing time, still be cold, but not Truckee cold. 

Nymph in the frog water, streamer fish in the frog water. That is the key. 

We have a good month or so, but then we'll have some great dry fly fishing down in the desert on the river. Not so much right now anywhere, unless you get lucky.
