CURRENT NATIONAL FOREST CLOSURE

To better provide public and firefighter safety due to extreme fire conditions throughout northern California, and strained firefighting resources throughout the country, the USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region is announcing a TEMPORARY CLOSURE of nine National Forests in California. These closures affect the ability for anglers to fish some local reservoirs and rivers. Anglers are currently prohibited from fishing Boca, Prosser, Stampede, Jackson Meadows, Lakes Basin, Little Truckee River, and any section of the Truckee River that’s on National Forest land until September 7th.

TRUCKEE RIVER

The flows have dropped on the Truckee River significantly. Because of the recent national forest closures, anglers are not permitted to fish the majority of the Truckee river at this time. The only section of the river that is available to fish is in downtown Truckee, but water levels are low.

FLOWS: Tahoe City 142 CFS, Glenshire 131 CFS, and Farad Exit 192 CFS
