Idaho Fish Report

The Truckee is fishing good but expected to slow with the coming heat. Flows have dropped over the last month and are roughly 200cfs in Reno. Afternoon high temperatures have water temperatures climbing quickly, this makes early and late fishing critical and catch and release fishing very hard to do effectively. Sporadic caddis hatches have been reported in the evenings from downtown to the state line. For those dry fly fisherman, it’s hopper time on the Truckee. A few larger fish have also shown up recently on small nymphs using high stick techniques. Caddis pupa, pheasant tails, and zebra midge are fishing well right now. Spin fisherman using small spinners or salmon eggs have done well near the major parks including; Crystal Peak,  Mayberry, and Rock park. LCT and rainbow stocking will continue in the river as temperatures allow. New regulations are in place for the lower river below the Mustang Bridge. Be sure to update yourself before heading out.
