Verify before fishing
03BlueStreamFly cannot confirm whether the report-wide official restriction currently applies: Hoot-owl fishing restriction on the upper Madison River (Yellowstone National Park boundary downstream to Hebgen Reservoir). This does not establish that the restriction is currently active or that the water is legally closed. Do not use score-led guidance until the official source is checked.

Nevada · Reno-Tahoe
Truckee River
Use caution
USGS 10348000 at Reno reports flow, stage, and turbidity but not current continuous water temperature. Measure the exact Reno reach with a stream thermometer; the downstream Sparks temperature gauge is context only and is not interchangeable. Choose another water at 70°F or warmer.
