With cooler days last week the runoff has slowed. We are seeing flows drop on the Truckee River and the snow is on the hill for just a bit longer. Around Glenshire we have seen flows drop from 750 to 575 CFS in the last 7 days. At Farad they have dropped from 900 to 700 CFS. These flows will make the river easier to fish in multiple ways from easier wading, increased clarity, and more holding water. With the river running pretty clear still, we have been catching most of our fish on medium sized perdigons, blowtorches, and duracells. We are still pairing these with larger offerings such as stones, worms, eggs and crawdads to help sell the smaller stuff and provide some more weight for your setup. Most of the river is fishing well, but we are still recommending the canyon section mostly because of the abundance of good deep runs. Considering how few people are in town right now, it would not be unrealistic to fish an area of Truckee and not see anybody else, especially if you’re heading out there mid-week. With the clear water, the streamer bite has been a bit tough and once we see the water come up and turbidity increases it may get better. Streamers will also fish better east of Reno around Lockwood, Mustang or Patrick than say, here in the canyon.
