	Truckee River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The river, here alternatively known as the Upper Truckee River, originates from the mountains south of Lake Tahoe, flowing into the lake at its south end before issuing once more from the lake's northwest side near Tahoe City, California.
		In the early 20th century, waters of the river were diverted as part of the Newlands Reclamation Act.
		Currently the Truckee-Carson Irrigation District supervises the diversion of approximately one-third of the river flow at the Derby Dam to the Lahontan Valley to irrigate alfalfa and pastures.

	TMDL Case Study - Truckee River, Nevada
		Water flow in the Truckee River is highly regulated, and the demand for water often exceeds the supply.
		DSSAM was applied to the Truckee as a steady-state model; that is, river and tributary flows were assumed to be constant during the individual time periods of the model (Brock et.
		Because the river's beneficial uses were not being supported under existing standards, NDEP initiated a study of the Truckee in 1990 to develop more stringent water quality-based standards to ensure support of designated uses.

	The Truckee River: Fishing from Tahoe to Pyramid
		Silicz is referring to the Truckee River from its beginnings at Lake Tahoe to its termination at Pyramid Lake.
		The first section of the river is fed by at least half a dozen tributaries that provide an abundant amount of food for fish in the Truckee.
		The third section of the river in California from Boca to the state line holds some of the largest trout in the Truckee and holds most of the river's small mouth bass.

	Stories: Lower Truckee River Restoration
		History: The Truckee River, a flowing ribbon of life in arid northern Nevada, has suffered a century of pollution and manmade manipulations that have greatly altered and degraded the river.
		Nitrogen and phosphorous levels in the river have increased because of effluent discharges from the Truckee Meadows Water Reclamation Facility, a wastewater treatment plant serving Reno and Sparks.
		Despite the challenges, restoration of the Lower Truckee River is moving forward because it offers real benefits for wildlife habitat, improved water quality, flood control and recreation.

	Lahontan RWQCB: Is the Truckee River Polluted? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The form, shape, and steepness of the river channel are determined by the flow of water and sediment.
		All of the plants and animals native to the Truckee have evolved in response to the amount and timing of the natural fluctuations of water and sediment.
		When we change the amount of sediment that enters the river system, we change the ecosystem, potentially creating conditions where native plants and animals may not be able to survive.

	Exploring the Truckee River, by Ralph Cutter
		Without the daily raft and Powerbait hatch, the river's big fish are emboldened to leave the protected waters, locally known as the DMZ, and anglers have a better chance of tangling with double-digit trout all the way to River Ranch about three miles downstream.
		It is not uncommon for the Truckee River water temperature to swing from the low 50s (F.) in the morning to the upper 70s on any August day.
		The River Ranch to Trout Creek (east of Truckee) stretch is freestone water with a mild gradient.

	California School of Flyfishing : Tips & Trivia : Truckee River Smallmouth Bass
		My feeling is that the Truckee's trout and the smallmouth will occupy slightly different niches and will probably co habitate quiet well.
		Truckee River smallies are here to stay and we might as well treat them as the superb game fish that they are (most people would agree they hit harder and fight stonger than any trout ever did).
		We have to keep in perspective that ALL of the trout living in the Truckee are descendants of planted fish.
