Pyramid Lake is closed until October 1st. This is the normal three months the lake is closed to fishing.

Camping, boating and having fun is still open.

Truckee River

Perfect! Flows, temps, bugs, everything is really good on the river right now. The normal hatches happen in the evenings if you know where to look and Caddis and Little Yellow Stones are out in force. On the lower river Golden Stone husks are starting to show up and nymphing with a Stonefly and a caddis dropper is hard to beat right now. Fish the river anytime but keep an eye out for water temps later in the summer. Mornings and evenings are always the best.

Little Truckee River

The Little Truckee has been running hard, too hard to fish, but it just came down to around 350 CFS which is still out of the banks high. You can fish it but it will require a similar approach to the Big T.  Fish are going to be looking up, but it is going to be tough to get a dry in front of these fish with these flows. Normal fishable flows are more like 50-150 CFS.

East Walker River

135 CFS, these are dream flows, anything between 100 and 200 Cfs is awesome. You can wade safely, cross and not spook too many fish. The water is very clear, and the fish are sitting on the edge of the fast water. They will see you if you don’t pay attention. Nymphing with Midges, Caddis, Little Stones, basically any buggy looking nymphs in size 14-18 will get you in the game. A good drift is a must.

East Carson River

The East Carson continues to slow down with runoff melting fast now. 200 CFS is amazing and if you know the East Carson and how to fish it, you should go now. Evening Caddis and Mayflies are a ton of fun and nymphing the deeper pools during the day is also worth a try.

Frenchman’s

Go! Midges and Callabaetis are hatching daily, and the fish are healthy and happy. You can hang a size 14-16 midge under an indicator and stay busy all day. 6-20 feet of water is the way to go so basically just toss it out there and hang on.

I saw a stocking report a couple of days ago and all the normal spots are receiving fish. The Bridgeport area for sure and all the streams and lakes up through the Sierras. Get out there and enjoy the summer doing something in the outdoors. If we can help in any way give us a ring or shoot us a text. 775.742.1754
