The flows are good for this time of year and the water clarity can vary in sections with the recent

The fishing season at Pyramid Lake is officially underway

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
The fishing season at Pyramid Lake is officially underway, although the bite has been slow to start.

Pyramid Lake has entered its transition period for anglers

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
Pyramid Lake has entered its transition period for anglers. With the lake flipped and surface temps dropping, we are seeing fish spread out through the entire water column. This will prove to be a difficult time to have a consistent day of fishing out here.    Once we continue to see water temps drop, maybe as soon as after this weekend’s storm, we will begin to see

Things on the Truckee are looking great this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
Things on the Truckee are looking great this week. Higher flows out of Donner Lake and Tahoe City have brought the Glenshire area up to 165 CFS, slightly above average for this time of year. Dry dropper or light indicator fishing would be a good bet here, but depending on how much precipitation we get out of this weekend’s storm, worms, stoneflies and eggs could

The lake has dropped again, but the county ramp is still open and very usable

by DOUG BUSEY / Carson Now
The lake has dropped again, but the county ramp is still open and very usable. Small boats use the center dock, while the taller boats use the right dock. Renee and I fished a few hours last week, with nine fish to the boat and lost about another 10. Rapalas were the ticket, and the early morning bite was on. After 1 or 2 p.m., the

by DOUG BUSEY / Carson Now

She was using anchovies while fishing from shore toward the downriver part of Rotary Park. We are getting a lot of smaller stripers, and they are running at all the best fishing spots you know. This time of year,
