About Trout Creek Outfitters
Trout Creek Outfitters is Truckee's dedicated fly fishing shop and guide service, located on Donner Pass Road in the historic downtown district. The shop has become the hub of the local angling community, offering an expertly curated selection of rods, reels, fly lines, waders, and flies tied for the specific waters of the Truckee River drainage and surrounding alpine lakes. It is the kind of specialist shop where the staff fish the same rivers they sell gear for, every week of the season.
Beyond retail, Trout Creek Outfitters runs a full slate of guided fishing trips on the Truckee, Little Truckee, and Middle Fork rivers, as well as walk-and-wade and float trips on nearby still waters. Guides cater to every experience level, from complete beginners learning to cast for the first time to seasoned anglers chasing trophy trout. The shop also offers casting lessons, fly tying classes, and seasonal clinics, and rents waders and gear for visitors who arrive without their own equipment.
What distinguishes Trout Creek Outfitters is its deep local expertise and commitment to the watershed. The team provides daily fishing reports, hatch updates, and honest advice on where the bite is, and they are active supporters of river conservation in the Truckee basin. For anyone wanting to experience the world-class trout fishing of the eastern Sierra with knowledgeable local guidance, this is the first stop in town.
