The ranch is still fishing well NEW

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
The ranch is still fishing well with good reports coming in on streamers as well as nymphs. Some fish being reported are up in the 24 to 25 inch range. Most anglers are having good days with 8 to 15 fish to the net. The calendar is getting pretty busy so if you want to book some time down there try to give us a

Current Water Conditions Truckee River flows are measuring around 75 CFS out of Tahoe City, 70 CFS through the town of Truckee, 95 CFS near Glenshire, and 371 CFS at Farad. The flows are average for this time of year and the water clarity is clear. Glenshire to the stateline is the best section to fish with the flows higher in that area. Mornings and evenings

Most of the fish are currently deep, around 70 to 80 feet in depth in the thermocline NEW

The fishing season at Pyramid Lake is now open. Most of the fish are currently deep, around 70 to 80 feet in depth in the thermocline. Cloudy and stormy days can provide some of the better opportunities, making changing weather patterns worth watching when planning a trip. Right now, downriggers and boat anglers are having the most success with fish this deep. Another effective way

Quality Over Quantity

by PYRAMID FLY CO.
The season is finally underway. What a long 3 months. Why are we so excited ? We live Pyramid Lake, it’s in our blood. Why so ? Pyramid Lake is the Home of the Worlds Largest Cutthroat Trout. The season started off slower then previous openers with quality ruling over quantity for fly fisherman. Large concentrations of Tui Chubs can be seen all throughout the lake.

We have seen the streamer bite pick up this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The Truckee has seen continued good temps and good flows this week, despite the warmer weather and the slight drop out of Boca, going from 300 CFS down to 200. This will lower the canyon slightly but won’t be enough to make much of a difference to the fishing. It will, however, make for rafting in that section to be a bit spotty and anyone

It has begun!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
  It has begun! While the opener this year maybe wasn’t as good as years past, there were still countless 20+ pound fish caught in just the first week alone and overall things are looking promising for another excellent year at the lake. There are two main methods of finding fish on fly gear out here right now. Both involve a boat, electronics and persistence. While

Topaz Lake Fishing Report

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

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. Many anglers have been doing well on the Tahoe shelf with a dodger and a live minnow. For the Kokanee, they typically school up in the deeper holes by Taylor Creek, getting ready to spawn. Vertical jigging with a blue/white or pink/white jig
