-- The Truckee can be absolutely superb. A good idea might be to fish small streams during the day and hit the Truckee during the evenings - you might encounter some of the most epic caddis hatches of your life, and you'll definitely have the opportunity to catch larger trout than you'll encounter on nearly any other river in California. The Little Truckee can be pretty technical but is also a great stream to visit.
Another unique experience can be found at Independence Lake, which the Nature Conservancy acquired to protect pure Lahontan Cutthroats: https://www.nature.org/ourinitiatives/regions/northamerica/unitedstates/nevada/placesweprotect/independence-lake.xml
About how much time will you have available? I fished the area most of my life before moving to DC.

Fantastic info, all around. I think i'll split time fishing the Truckee and hiking to some remote alpine lakes in Desolation Wilderneess to catch the almost total solar eclipse on Monday morning. Which begs the fish psychology question- How do you think fish will react to a solar eclipse. Strong bite? No bite? I suppose I'll endeavor to find out. Pics could be epic.On Wednesday, August 9, 2017 at 8:10:35 AM UTC-4, Andrew LaVigne wrote:relevant to this region:

It's predominately rainbows and browns (some very large), but they do stock Lahontan Cutthroats in there. I had success basically anywhere from the Nevada line to the city parks in Reno, and upstream in CA should be better. The Little Truckee tailwater is also an option, nice high-mountain meadow stream.If you were there after Oct 1, I would send you to Pyramid Lake. Just an insane experience, basically surf fishing for trout.Otherwise, the Carson and the Walker rivers are up that way - never fished either, but may fit the bill for you.

I'll meet a buddy from San Francisco while i'm up there, but neither of us know the area aside from the wintertime ski slopes.I was curious if anyone had any suggestions of cool fishy hikes to do or places to camp in the area. I'm particularly keen on checking off my first cutthroat.Any suggestions welcome, thanks!
