Carson River East Fork (NV) Fishing Report

by LIZ WEIRAUCH
The NDOW stocked fish are still hanging there, that will be nice when the cottonwoods turn yellow and we can do some fall fishing down there. In the early morning go for a dry dropper set up of a caddis (Elk Hair) with a zebra midge (black) drop. Mid-day, if the fish will play, throw a bugger in a size 8 – size

Spooner Lake Fishing Report

by LIZ WEIRAUCH
A PERSONAL NOTE: catch a chub, KILL IT.. This lake has become so over populated with chub, that the trout there are competing for food. Not much has changed since last week's report: Damsels, zebra midges, copper johns, PT's buggers in white, olive, zug bugs, princes. If you see lips: Para Adams, Trico. Just want to catch ANY fish (chub)

Mackinaw action has been hot. many limits of 3-6 pound fish have been coming in. Last Saturday Michell Kindall from Alaska reeled in a nice 20 pound mackinaw while fishing on the PT 109 with Gene St Denis. Best action has been on the Tahoe shelf in 120 to 240 feet of water. Medium chrome dodger and a live minnow has been most productive. Kokanee

Topaz Lake Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY
Fishing has been fair for those that work for it. I fished with friend Tom last week and we trolled Rapals and Needlefish for 6 hours. We were rewarded with 2 rainbows each ranging 15 to 19 inches. On the weekends the water skiers and jet skiers will be out by about 10am so hold on to your life vest. Some are not so courteous

CLOSES SEPTEMBER 30th..... Topaz Lake is still good for …. bass. Trout have gone a bit deep, The bass will certainly hit 'big unglies', buggers, dead drift cray fish. THE CARP have left the shallows, but can still be targeted in that southern area. (if you haven't done carp fishing, come in and ask.. it's a hoot!) Olive buggers,

Lake Tahoe Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY
Fishing has been very good for anglers that get on the water before the sun rises. As soon as the sun touches the water the fishing slows down. Mackinaws have been coming in on the north end of the lake just east of Tahoe City. Start on the drop offs in 110 feet of water and move out as the sun starts to rise. Flashers

NDOW stocked it this week for an event, and either the water took a very hard turn in warmth and were inable to find a cool hidey hole or they were shocked due to the tank/vs river water temp, and we've got some dead fish floating near the bridge. Nice flows, and clear. Being clear, start being a little more sneaky (yes,
