Blue Catfish
Blue catfish are not native to the Truckee, California region, and their presence is highly unlikely. The cold, high-altitude environment is not conducive to their survival. While the Sacramento River system does hold blue catfish further downstream, they would not naturally occur this far upstream in the Truckee area. Anglers interested in targeting blue catfish would need to travel to warmer regions of California where they are established, such as the Delta region. Attempting to fish for blue catfish in Truckee would be an unproductive endeavor. It's always best to research the native and stocked species of a particular region before planning a fishing trip to ensure that you are targeting species that are actually present in the area.
