Water Conditions

Very low flows from Tahoe City to Boca which makes the majority of the upper river not fishable right now. Because of the low flows, we recommended only fishing from Boca to Stateline. The river is flowing at about 444 CFS near the stateline and 8 CFS through the town of Truckee.

Tips for the Week

Indicator nymphing, tight line nymphing and streamer fishing are all working well below Boca Reservoir on the big Truckee. A few tips for anglers to note – covering some ground is beneficial if you are hunting big fish and low light always helps out when streamer fishing. Fish are definitely eating more as winter approaches.

Suggested Flies or Lures

October Caddis, Blue Winged Olives, Midges, Sculpins, Crayfish or Hoppers
