FLy Fishing Locations

Truckee River | East Walker River
CA & NV

With Reno, Nevada as our home base we are able to access many great fly fishing locations within an hour drive. We also have access to many other locations in the Eastern Sierra.

The Truckee River is our home water we also take trips on the East Walker River. These are two of the Eastern Sierra’s best rivers for large, hard fighting Brown and Rainbow Trout.

Float Trips on the Truckee River are a great experience. When conditions are right, floating offers a completely different perspective on this beautiful fishery. This approach allows access to many areas that are inaccessible on foot.

The best time to fish the Truckee

A day on the water always beats a day in the office however, going when conditions are right makes it all the more enjoyable. 

Our favorite time of year to fish is the Spring and Fall, (May-June) (Sept-Oct). July and August are still great months to fish, when tend to start early in the morning to beat the heat of the day.

The Truckee River is located on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range and can experience various weather conditions. Here you’ll find helpful links to local weather and real-time river flow gauges.

We are based in Reno, Nevada and offer guide trips on the Truckee River. We have the ability to guide in California and Nevada allowing us to access most all of the Truckee River. Find out more info on our Guide Trips and Rates page

We offer a range of trip options rates differ based on how many people are in the group and trip type. To see all the services offered check out our Guide Trips and Rates page.

Anytime you can make it out is a good time to go fishing as many of the places we fish are open year round. However, depending on water conditions we especially enjoy fishing in the early spring and fall. 

We get asked this question a lot and we feel it’s worth mentioning here.

The short answer to this question is, that it depends. We understand every dog is different some are great fishing dogs and some, well, are not. We’d like to chat with you about it before we book the trip and if it seems like a fit we’re more than happy to have your furry friend along.  However, if you’re considering a Float Trip on the Truckee River the answer is no. The rafts we use are relatively small, and inflatable we do not allow dogs or studded boots on board. We can supply you with non-studded boots but the pup will have to sit this one out.

Yes! We are licensed by The California Department of Fish and Wildlife and The Nevada Department of Wildlife. We are also insured and bonded.

Cancelation Policy: Deposits become non-refundable 14 days prior to the trip date. Our guide trips go out rain or shine, canceling based on environmental factors is solely at Current Fly Fishing’s discretion.
