Stampede Reservoir

• Located approximately 15 miles north of Truckee at 5,949 feet elevation, Stampede Reservoir has a surface area of 3,450 acres and 25 miles of sage and coniferous shoreline. All boating is permitted but note that water levels drop dramatically toward the end of summer which limits launching to extended low water launch ramps.
• Stampede holds a large number of trophy class rainbow and brown trout and the fisherman is commonly well rewarded.
  
• Shore fishing nets browns and rainbows. Use inflated nightcrawlers, power bait or salmon eggs. If trolling, Kokanee is the catch. Use flasher/wedding rings and white corn combinations. If fly fishing use wooly buggers, nymphs, and midges near the inlet streams.
  
• For more information call Truckee Ranger District (530) 478-6257.
