Runoff season continues. The best place to fish the Truckee right now is near the town of Truckee. The flows through Truckee are 332 CFS. As you go down river it gets higher and higher. The water is still pretty clear and there are some fish being caught. Most of the fish are hanging on the edges out of the current due to the higher flows. So the river is fishable but wading is very tough and even dangerous if you do not know the river. In order to be successful, fish in areas where the edges can be accessed from the bank. Nymphing with a variety of flies have proven successful. Try golden stones, bird's nests and red squirrel nymphs. Streamers are also worth a try. Flows are; town of Truckee 332 CFS, Boca Bridge 763 CFS, Farad 946 CFS and the river though Reno is 758 CFS.
