Smooth sailing now. We're just getting over the last heat wave on the Truckee River. 70's all next week, not bad. Soon we'll have some Fall fishing. 

For now think smaller size crayfish, smaller mayflies, and caddis. Trouts are still in faster water-so fish the appropriate rigs. Tight line nymphing/ Euro, will be your best bet. 

Around 500 cfs here in Hirschdale. Not a bad flow for late August. The reservoirs all still have lots of water in them, so we should be good to go all through Fall.

It's the mellow time up here now. Good time to go fishing.

That's right at average for August.  Now, you should look for mid-river...... Read More
