Donner And Blitzen River

BLITZEN RIVER: redband trout, carp

The Blitzen River is currently flowing between 300 and 500 cfs. Expect flows to change daily depending on the weather this time of year. Fishing may still be productive, fly anglers have been having success using streamer patterns this winter. Fishing was slow last week. Spinners and other artificial lures should also work well when the water is high and off color. Last updated 3/12/25.

The Blitzen is flowing around 70 cfs with temperatures in the 30s. Streamer fishing has been productive lately near Page Springs but there will be some ice due to the colder weather lately. Anglers are catching some really nice redband. Last updated 2/11/2025

BLITZEN RIVER: redband trout, carp

The Blitzen River is flowing around 400 cfs right now. Expect flows to change daily relative to the freeze and thaw cycle. With snowpack near record levels in the basin it may be a while before the Blitzen clears up but it will depend on temperatures. The Blitzen valley was flooded recently so travel could be difficult near Page Springs. Last updated 2/26/25.
