Truckee River Fly Fishing Report

Matt Koles reports on 4.23.19

Finally some spring weather on the Truckee River.

Big flows and sunshine, well, except for the last couple days on the sunshine. Spring has sprung.

Flows are up around 3,700 k here in the Hirsch, higher as you go downriver. Big pumping flows. Much like back in spring of ’17. We still have a lot of snow to melt. Get used to it. Don’t think you’re gonna escape the flows...

McCloud River Fly Fishing Report

Wildwaters reports 4.23.219

The McCloud river opens in a couple weekends.  Along with the general trout season.  We’re looking forward to it.  The road into Ash Camp from McCloud Reservoir is closed just below the dam.  Foot access to the PCT is an easy walk down the road to Ash Camp. 

The road into Ah di na is in ok shape with a little work needed to make access a bit easier on the truck. Shouldn’t...

California Delta Fishing Report

Delta Fishing Report

Striper fishing on the Delta has been up
& down the last few days. Some days they are on a good bite, other days they just don’t seem to bite much. Also, we have had a windy week which has made it very challenging to target the fish, wind casting skills were at a premium but winds seem to be tapering down. 

Water temperatures are 60 degrees...

Foothill Bass Fly Fishing Report

Capt. Chuck Ragan reports on 4.11.19

The Foothill lakes continue to produce some awesome days for bass on the fly.  Temps have changed and some waters are warming and clearing and fish are beginning to show up on streamers and the strip. 

Good to great numbers and every now and again a sizable fish as well as by-catches of rainbow trout. If you haven’t experienced bass fishing in the foothills,...

Truckee River Fly Fishing

Matt Koles reports on 4.11.19

Had a great clinic this weekend on the Truckee River.

Other than that, not too much difference since a week ago.

Flows have gone up to almost 3000k here in Hirschdale with more releases from Boca. We really aren’t getting the big runoff yet, but a slow good melt. We’ll get that soon enough. For now enjoy these flows while they last. Clarity ain’t bad either.

So good solid...

Owyhee Fy Fishing Report

Cory Godell reports on 4.11.19

Owyhee

The Skwalas are starting to wind down on the Owyhee. There are still some bugs around, but every day there seems to be fewer and fewer. The BWO’s are still coming off in force especially on the overcast day. They usually show up around 1:30 and stick around for an hour or two. 

Usually, around the 15th of April, each year is when they bump up the river a couple...

California Delta Fly Fishing Report

Captain Bryce Tedford reports on 4.11.19

Delta Fishing Report:

Striper fishing on the Delta has been going strong! That said, we have had a windy week which has made it challenging to target the fish. Wind casting skills are currently at a premium on the Delta. 

Water temperatures are 55-60 degrees in various parts of the Delta & Stripers will likely spawn in the next few weeks. Last few times out I...

Needless to say all rivers here in the north state lately have been running big but we have been able to pull off trips.

We are so looking forward to getting back on the Lower and...
