Truckee River:
The river is flowing at 127 CFS through Truckee, 566 CFS at Farad and 417 through Reno. The river is clear and the fishing has been great, time to get out there! There has been a strong PMD hatch in the early morning, try Burks Silhouette Dun. During the day nymph fishing under an indicator with Poxy Back Golden Stones, Green Drakes, Hares Ears, Copper Johns, Tungsten Skinny Nelsons and small Baetis have been very successful. There has been some phenomenal caddis and little yellow stone hatches in the evenings, be sure to have some EC Caddis and Burks extended body little yellow stones.
Little Truckee River:
Flowing at 86 CFS, the fish have seen a lot of pressure in the past few weeks. In spite of that, fishing remains strong, nymph fishing with small flies on long fine leaders is your best bet during the day. Try nymphing with San Juan Worms, Micro Mays, Mighty Mite Baetis and small Caddis pupa and larva. Dry fly activity includes a few PMDs in the mornings and some caddis and midges in the evenings.
East Walker:
Flows are steady at 217 and the fishing is good! Caddis are hatching throughout the day and the fish are eating them as well as big stimulators. Try EC Caddis and size 10 rubber leg stimulators with a dropper (bottom rollers, mirco mays, and Baetis and zebra midges). Also some size 16-18 mayflies hatching in the mornings.
East Carson River:
The flows have come down, 564 CFS and the fishing is good. Nymphs under an indicator on a floating line have been picking up some very nice fish. Try Poxy Back Golden Stones, Z-Wing Caddis and Micro May flies. Throughout the day as well as in the evening there has been a very strong little yellow stone hatch. Burks extended body little yellow stone has been working the best. Also, the fish have been actively chasing streamers so be sure to have some before you head to the Carson.
Carson River:
Flows are still dropping but are getting near prime for this time of year. Try some Golden Stones, Burks' Bottom Rollers, Caddis and Little Yellow Stones in both dries and nymphs.
Pyramid Lake:
The fishing has remained really good. It is getting tougher to find the fish but when you find them 20 to 30 fish days are still happening. The North end of the Lake has had some great reports. Nymphing and pulling streamers both have been catching fish. The Lake closes at the end of June.
Davis Lake:
The Damsels are hatching most mornings from about nine until noon. Fish long leaders on a floating or intermediate line. Sheep Creek Specials, Birds Nest and buggers have been picking up fish as well. On calm evenings there has been some great surface action using blood midges.
Frenchman’s Reservoir:
Fishing is good. Stripping Olive, Brown, Black or Wine buggers on a slow sinking line has been producing the most fish. Also nymph fishing with copper Johns and black Birds Nests have been picking up a significant amount of fish. Watch for damsels in the mornings.
Knott Creek Reservoir:
The water level is good as well as the fishing. Productive flies have been Sheep Creek Specials, Olive, Black and Brown wooly buggers, scuds, and the damsel flies are starting to show up. To fish the lake effectively be sure to have a floating, slow sinking and a fast sinking line.
