Idaho Fish Report

The Truckee has hung on pretty well through the summer but now very low. Flows are roughly 50 cfs in Reno upstream to the stateline and 100 cfs east of Reno. If flows hang on fishing should be good this fall and winter east of town. Lockwood is an excellent place to fish the east Truckee River if you’ve never done it. Fly fisherman will find some caddis and hoppers typically out in the afternoons through most of October. Small dark nymphs under indicators or tight lined in the deeper runs can make for an awful fun fall afternoon. Spin fishing has been productive using small plugs and spoons. Fish will likely be concentrated, when you find one there’s likely more nearby. Bait fishing has been limited with the low water. Mayberry and Fisherman’s park are both good places to find some summer holdovers planters.
