Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing near Carson City requires a bit of a drive, but the rewards can be worthwhile. Head north to the Truckee River, particularly the sections downstream from Reno, for some quality smallmouth action. The rocky, fast-flowing sections of the river provide ideal habitat for these feisty fish. Summer and early fall are prime times, as the water warms up and the smallmouth become more active. Wading is a popular technique, using lures like crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and tube jigs. Fly fishing with crayfish patterns can also be effective. Access to the Truckee River is generally good, with numerous access points along Interstate 80. Be aware of swift currents and slippery rocks, and always wear appropriate wading gear. The smallmouth in the Truckee tend to be aggressive fighters, so be prepared for a good battle.
