Winter Regulations-Trout Creek to State Line-Catch & Release Only!
Fishing has picked up again with the warmer weather we’ve had this week and parking has not been a real issue either with the melting snow. Having snowshoes is still a good idea if you have a long trek to get to the river. The closer to the state line and into Nevada you go the easier 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 and large stonefly nymphs under an indicator and action on top has been good on BWO(baetis), adult midge, and recently skwala stones closer to state line now. Water temps are around 41 degrees through California while temps on the Nevada side are around 43 degrees. Concentrate your efforts now on stretches of water that have a good current flow through it but still offers the fish a soft feeding lie as fish will still be conserving their energy.
