2.6-pound Bluegill

by RUSTY / Riviera Marina
Now that's a nice panfish! This beauty was brought in by local angler Patrick Pauli. I'm confident it's a bluegill, although it looks similar to the redear sunfish we see in our waters. Patrick was using a small spinner when he landed this impressive 2.6-pound bluegill, measuring 14 5/8 inches in length. It could even be a Nevada state record! He caught it in the Back

Summer is here on the Truckee!

by MATT KOLES / Gilligan's Fly Service
Summer is here on the Truckee River.  Flows have come down to just around normal. Around 650 cfs, here in Hirschdale. About the same all the way down river, and lower some up river.

The bite is beginning to improve

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
Pyramid Lake is currently full, and the boat launch remains open. As fish wrap up their spawning cycle, the bite is beginning to improve with warming weather conditions. Most anglers are finding the best success from float tubes, kayaks, or boats while fishing depths between 30 and 50 feet. Productive offerings have included Pyramid-style jigs, Sierra Spoons, midges, balanced leeches, and various hookup baits.

Mackinaw fishing has been great!

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
At Lake Tahoe, mackinaw fishing has been great. Anglers can find mackinaw around 200 feet deep. For trout fishing, fishing from a boat or shore has been successful early morning or at last light of the day. Water temperatures are around 50 degrees.  

Good time of year to fish it all!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The Truckee was affected very little by this week’s weather in terms of increased flows. In fact, the flows out of Boca Reservoir dropped this week, bringing the Farad gauge down from 1,200 CFS, to around 800. The main effect of the storm was the decrease in water temps, cooling back down into the mid-40’s for a short period. Expect fish to be holding in
