With the hottest weather seen in weeks expected all this week, please limit your time on the Truckee River to early mornings and be sure to keep that thermometer handy. We expect the river to warm quickly this week, especially along sections such as 89-South, down Glenshire Road, and the low flow sections found in Reno. Therefore, we recommend fishing anywhere from the Boca confluence down to the Nevada state line, or in some of the higher flow sections in West Reno area like Verdi, Mogul or Downtown. We’ve been seeing a lot of nice browns around this area lately! The fish have seemed to shift off the bigger stones and craws and focus more on caddis, and mayflies. Keep those fly selections on the small side for these bugs and mix up colors. Clear or white indicators or euro nymphing will be key with the low and clear water right now. The fish were holding in quite a few water types last week, and it’s tough to say whether they will stay in the slower stuff still this week, but if you do fish in this water type be sure to land them quickly and keep your handling to a minimum, these are the ones more susceptible to delayed mortality.

If you would like to go fishing with us please check out our website Trout Creek Outfitters.com or call (530) 563-5119.
