Douglas County Fish Reports

TAKE TEMPS after 9 am... off at 69 degrees. You know, maybe this time of year, have a little fun, use a pair of dykes and cut the hook off completely.. go out see what will hit your fly.. pull it out of their mouth,, no harm, no foul and they won't be stressed from fighting in warm water and you

Hoye Canyon is no longer open to the public. Only fishing on the West Walker Nevada access is Wilson Canyon on 208 south of Yerington.

Flows average: 126cfs, about 70 cfs below median. Nice flows, and clear. NDOW stocked a couple of weeks ago at the bridge at Rhuenstroth. The water is running about 66 degrees, and being clear, start being a little more sneaky (yes, this is a fishing terminology :) Dead Drift Red Copper Johns, Golden stones, little yellow stones, zebra midges, or San Juans. Dry fly action

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. 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) use a zug bug... it's a guaranteed take.

Hoye Canyon is no longer open to the public. Only fishing on the West Walker Nevada access is Wilson Canyon on 208 south of Yerington.

The lake level is starting to drop. Some anglers have been productive fishing early and deep on the south end. Rapala's have been most productive. Anglers using flashers and worms have been catching a few trolling close to shore in the early morning. After 10 am the water skiers and jet skis start to come out. The Douglas county Park ramp is open for all

The NDOW planted the river by the broken dam with catchable sized rainbow this week. Small spinners or salmon eggs have been productive.

Flows average: 600 cfs, average median. Slowing down, we've got a bit more water coming down on the Nevada side than the CA side due to Bryant Creek. The water is cold, not really crossable, so pick your side. Drift Red Copper Johns, Golden stones, little yellpw stones, zebra midges, or San Juans. You MIGHT be able to pick up on dry fly, make it

NDOW has stocked it last week. Damsels, zebra midges, copper johns, PT's buggers in white, olive, zug bugs, princes. If you see lips: Para Adams, Trico.

NDOW stocked it a few weeks ago, flows are running around 400 cfs. Water is fairly clear. Throw a hopper (tan) or a red wing) and a drop of a red copper john or black zebra midge or a ADHD. (HOYE CANYON): Hoye Canyon is no longer open to the public. Only fishing on the West Walker River, Nevada, access is Wilson Canyon on 208

A fellow angler fished the lake last week and caught 2 rainbows ranging from 15-17 inches long. He was using Rapalas in the middle of the lake. He told me the waters on the south end were pretty dirty due to the run off coming into the lake. No reports from shore anglers this week. For more information stop by the Topaz Landing Marina. They
