Continued warmer than average weather in the Lake Tahoe-Truckee-Reno are on the Truckee River. Blue bird days. Flows are up a bit, but nothing that bad really, rivers a little off color: for mid-April, the rivers in great shape.

Ask yourself how long it’s been since a trout, not s steelhead has taken you into your backing, if you can’t remember than it’s time to get out to Pyramid Lake in Nevada.

The Truckee Rivers getting a little bit bigger with this recent warm weather we’ve been having. 550 cfs or so here in Hirschdale, and way down below into Nevada, about 650 cfs or so.

More like spring again here in Lake Tahoe-Truckee-Reno on the Truckee River. 60′s-and 70′s last few days in Truckee-Reno, way different than last week. Fish seem to responding to the warmer weather and slightly warming water temps.

After about a week hiatus from the Truckee River mainly from the nasty weather we’ve had here in Truckee-Tahoe, finally  got back after it the last few days. Wind and snow is cool in the fall and winter, but in the spring it just doesn’t feel right, and all last week was pretty nasty.

Finally some winter weather and much needed snow and rain for the Lake Tahoe-Truckee-Reno area. I haven’t been on the river at all in over a week, mainly due to the weather, wind was the main reason, but also because Pyramid Lake has been fishing so well.

I’m selling my raft.

Aire Super Puma for sale. Same boat as an Outcast Pac 1300. The boat is three years old and has always been garaged. It has never been patched, or does it leak air.

It’s that time of year for Pyramid Lake in Western Nevada when big Cutthroat Trout cruise the shallow water and drop-offs close to the beaches. Fishing can be pretty fantastic in spring at Pyramid if you choose the right beach and wind direction.

Big changes in the weather this week with a return of winter to the Lake Tahoe-Truckee-Reno area on the Truckee River. Looks like we’ll get a pretty good snow event tonight into Thursday. Snow will fall high, but we will take anything we can get here in Tahoe, and what we might get looks pretty impressive.

First day of spring, though its been spring since about mid-February in Lake Tahoe-Truckee-Reno. Mild weather continues to dominate the pattern here on the Truckee River. We have had some cold nights, and it continues to be cold at night, but daytime highs are in the 50′s in Truckee, and 60′s in Reno.

Fishing has remained good on the Truckee River in Lake Tahoe-Truckee-Reno on the Truckee River. Warm air temps and warming water temps have sparked some pretty good activity. The weather looks pretty stable going into this week, so fishing should remain good.

We’ve been on wind hold for about 3 days up here in Lake Tahoe-Truckee-Reno on the Truckee River.  Cold East winds 20-30 miles per hour.

Fishing has been good to great the last few days on the Truckee RIver in Lake Tahoe-Truckee-Reno. The whole entire length of the river seems to be fishing. Water temps have warmed out of the winter chill to more spring temps in the mid-to upper 40′s.

The Clinic – Pyramid Lake from Catch, Snap, & Release on Vimeo.

Fishing continues to be good and only getting better on the Truckee River in the Lake Tahoe-Truckee-Reno area. Blue wing olives are out in force on the lower sections of river sparking a lot of activity. One can go out now and not only get them on nymphs, but also on dries.

Doug O and I had a great clinic yesterday at Pyramid Lake in Nevada. For all but one it was their first time out at the lake. I think it trips people out a little at first, mostly because they’re surprised of its beauty, but mainly its sheer vastness. Pyramid did not disappoint.

Storms systems moving into the Lake Tahoe-Truckee-Reno area. We picked up a foot overnight on the summit with more on the way Friday. Good, good news for the Truckee River watershed. Flows have come up to about 420 cubes here in the Hirsch, and they will get higher with the next system.

Warm above average temps at least through the beginning of next week on the Truckee River in the greater Lake Tahoe-Truckee-Reno area. Fishing has been descent all over the river, both states. Good news, the spring blue wings are out in force on the lower sections of river.

Feeling like there’s not a whole lot left of winter here on the Truckee River in the greater Lake Tahoe-Truckee-Reno area. The rivers been fishing like a mid-April feel instead of mid-February.
