Truckee Fishing Report
Updated January 22nd, 2024
Truckee River
Water Conditions
The Truckee River has decent flows and great clarity right now, which is typical of this time of year. There is a lot of access to the river with many parking spots available to anglers. Flows on the Truckee River are 82 CFS in the town of Truckee, 161 CFS near Glenshire and 391 CFS at the stateline.
Tips for the Week
Nymphing and midge fishing are the main techniques anglers are using right now. The fish are cold and don’t want to work hard to eat. Fish are mostly found right now in the slower deeper pools saving there energy, so fishing slow with an indicator and small flies is the most popular way to get bites. Anglers can also try to fish in the middle of the day when the water will be at its warmest. You can still find random hatches of blue winged olives and midges at this time of year.
Suggested Flies or Lures
Little Truckee River
Water Conditions
The little truckee has still got great flows with the weekly average lately being around 140 CFS. Since the Little Truckee is a tail water stream, the temperatures do not fluctuate much. This makes the fish much more comfortable. The thing to really look for is access to the river. The road is not plowed so getting there can be tough if we get to much snow. And a reminder there is no cell phone service there, so be careful to not get stuck.
