Topaz Lake Fishing Report NEW

by DOUG BUSEY / Carson Now
Renee and I fished the lake just before our trip and caught 18 nice trout up to 14 inches. The lake level has dropped a little. We fished the whole lake and could see fish everywhere. I usually throw flies and have great luck on the lake. This trip, nada! Meaning, not a one would touch my flies. So we went to trolling perch and

Fishing has been getting better as the temperatures drop NEW

by DOUG BUSEY / Carson Now
Fishing has been getting better as the temperatures drop. The mackinaw bite has picked up around the Camp Richardson area to Dollar Point.

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
  t’s here! The start of the 26/27 Pyramid season has begun. We are excited/hopeful for another excellent year at the lake!

The Truckee has been fishing quite well this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The Truckee has been fishing quite well this week along most stretches of river due to good water temps just about everywhere right now, except from Lockwood downstream, where the persistent warm water coming out of Steamboat Creek has been keeping that section a bit too warm still. We would also recommend fishing anywhere from Hirschdale downstream, where the flows would be at their best.
