The Verdi stretch of Nevada also held up pretty well and is fishing good. Below Reno, however, took more of a hit. Temperatures in that reach were just too high and many of those fish had to move up river or perished. It will take a little time for that far east water to rebound.

If you’re heading to the Tahoe area, the Truckee is worth a stop. Just remember to tread lightly and be respectful of other angler’s space. The River is catch and release with single barbless hooks all the way from Truckee to Stateline. If you see people poaching fish or using bait be sure to politely let them know the regulations or call the local warden at 1(888) 334-CAlTip (2247).
