Lyon County Fish Reports

The ranch has also been very active lately with lots of nice fish being caught down there. Like the California side it’s been mostly nyphingthough there has been a few nice fish caught on dead drift crayfish this past week. They’re still taking some dry/dropper rigs on the ranch as well.

Wiper/White Bass- Wiper and White Bass have been showing up sporadically along the beaches. As the water temperature increase, so will the activity of these fish. Try using white or shiny lures.

Try using corn or worms. Crappie- No report Monthly Water Temperature:

The ranch is still fishing pretty well, lots of nice fish being caught down there, some up to around 24 inches. Nymphing has been the best ticket but we have had a couple good dry/dropper reports, mostly the fish were taking the dropper but occasionally the chubby or stimulator on top. Typically this is a good time of the year to fish streamers like a

We had a few cancellations on the ranch this week so didn’t get many reports from down there, however, typically it will fish similar to the California side this time of the year with the exception that you can usually get away with larger flies and often you can do better with dry/dropper rigs. That being said I would be packing some chubby chernobyls, stimulators

The ranch fished well earlier in the week but there hasn’t been anyone out there for the last several days. They were still hitting some stonefly nymphs as well as some good topwater action with stimulators and chubby Chernobyl’s. With the streamer action opening up on the Cali side I’d expect there to be some good streamer action on the ranch as well.

The ranch is still kicking out some very nice fish, lots of browns and rainbows in the 14 to 20 inch range with some fish up to around 24 inches. Stonefly nymphs and adult stone patterns are still the best thing going down there. The flows on the river are still pretty low at around 45 cfs so it’s important to find the deeper pools

The Sceirine is still fishing very well these days, lots of nice browns and some rainbows being caught down there. They’re still taking stones and midge patterns much like the Rosachi section. Not much news on streamers but again, they should be getting on those pretty soon.    

The Silver Springs boat ramp is officially open for the season! Please be aware that the reservoir is at approximately 130,000 acre feet full, which equates to a 60% capacity. This means there is still the potential for navigational hazards due to the low water level. We predict that the reservoir level is not likely to increase much above this. Please enjoy boating safely. Make

The Sceirine is fishing well with lots of nice 14 to 20 inch fish being caught there. Most of the action is nymphing with some dry/dropper hook-ups thrown in as well. We haven’t heard any news about streamers yet but with the warmer weather the streamer action should pick up. If you want to book some time on the ranch give us a call and

The Ranch is starting to get a bit of traffic lately, we’ve had a few reports come back that have been pretty good. It seems as though the fish arent getting too active until later in the day, maybe around 11 am or so, but after that time things warm up a bit and the fishing has been good. They’re eating stonefly nymphs as well

There was some good action on the ranch this week with reports of up to 8 or 10 fish per half day. As with the California side it’s been mostly nymphing with small midge and stonefly patterns.

 Open all year to fishing. The water level is very low. Best area to try would be above the broken dam with a small spinner or salmon eggs.

Fishing on the Nevada side of the East Walker has been really good lately. The warmer weather we have had has freed the river from any anchor ice and access is great. Fish are active and happy. The water is really low at 20 CFS and is the only downside to fishing right now. The flows have remained at this level for weeks now and
