I lived in Reno for for a short stretch about 10 years back, never did anything super back-country, but Yambag is right, the Truckee is a nice river. 

Flows normally are a challenge this time of year, but thanks to the amazing snowpack from this past winter, should be good right now. 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've never fished it, but I have driven by the Truckee while going skiing and it looked like a nice river.  Its supposed to be pretty decent although isn't a backcountry destination.

I'm speaking at a convention in Reno in a couple weeks and had the idea to take the few days following to head into the Sierras around Lake Tahoe and backpack around for a few days. 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!
