The Truckee River flows out of Lake Tahoe, California some 120 miles north east through the town of Reno, Nevada and eventually empties out into Pyramid Lake. Lake Tahoe was called the Salmon Trout River in 1844 by John C Fremont and Kit Carson for the huge cutthroat that ran up stream out of Pyramid Lake. The river was named after a Paiute Chief that save a immigrant party who were lost in the Nevada desert and led them to the Truckee River and on up to through Donner Pass. In honor of how he saved the group, they named the river after what they thought he was pronouncing his name as Chief Truckee.

Our Head Guide Chris Wharton has been guiding the Reno/Tahoe & outlying areas for over 18 yrs. All our other guides are born and raised in the region and have tremendous experience on all rivers they are guiding on.

Truckee River

Fished the Truckee River in late August, which isn't prime time but it was the time that worked for our schedule and Jack Trout teamed with an expert for the Truckee to make it a great experience. It is a beautiful river but not an easy wade so be sure to wear boots with cleats and bring a wading staff. Our guide, Chris, was remarkably knowledgeable and we learned a few new tricks which will be our new best practices when fishing similar waters. We did a half day guided trip which was a success but it had us longing for a bit more. The greatest part of this trip was being introduced to some new techniques in terms of set up and presentation. If you go, be ready to learn and take some notes for future use.
