Winter Regulations-Trout Creek to State Line-Catch & Release Only! 

 Fishing has picked up again with the warmer weather we’ve had this week.  On the California side there is ice around the edges in the morning.  The Nevada side is fair until you get east of Reno where the water is slightly off color.  With Snow pack levels over 100% parking spots are almost impossible to find.  Snowshoes are almost a requirement to get to the river now.  The closer to the state line and into Nevada you go the better the access gets.  Flows are 188cfs at Truckee, 289cfs at Boca, and 271cfs in Reno.  Success is being had by dead drifting small midge and nymph imitations under an indicator and action on top has been good on BWO(baetis) or adult midge imitations when fish are rising.  Water temps are around 34 degrees through California while temps on the Nevada side are around 36 degrees.  You will now need to concentrate your efforts on the slower stretches of water and deep pools with some current now as fish will be looking to conserve their energy
