Lyon County Fish Reports

The Ranch is still fishing well, lots of nice fish in the 14 to 20 inch range being caught down there lately. It’s still been pretty busy with bookings but of course not near as busy as the public sections of the river. They’re still eating some stonefly nymphs down there and the dry/dropper action has also been pretty good still. Like the Cali side

The Sceirine is still fishing well, though like the California side we haven’t heard much about streamers. There is still some good dry and nymph action down there though. In addition to the flies mentioned above they are still eating some smaller golden stone nymphs and there has been some decent dry/dropper action with big uglies on top like a chubby Chernobyl and a caddis

The Sceirine is still fishing very well, lots of nymph action as well as some good dry action here and there. They’re starting to eat some dead drift crayfish and there’s still some action with stonefly nymphs as well as most of the flies mentioned above. Give us a call if you want to book some time on the ranch and we can get you

The ranch is also fishing well, there are still a few stones around so in addition to the upper flies you can still fish some stonefly nymphs. With the lower water a dry/dropper rig may work as well. The ranch is booking out a while in advance so if you want some time down there try to give us a call ahead of time.  

Weekly Water Temperature: 65 degrees  Wiper/ White Bass: Wiper and White bass have come out in force. These fish give a good fight for their size and can be caught on every cast. Try using flashy or bright colored lures and keep the bait moving. Anglers reporting 50+ fish a day.  Catfish: Catfish are being reported all around the lake. Anglers are having a lot of luck

The ranch is still fishing well, lots of nice fish up to around 22 inches being caught down there. They are still eating some stoneflies on the Nevada side, as well as caddis nymphs, small midge patterns and some streamers. We are getting a lot of calls to fish the ranch so if you want to enjoy some private water try to give us a call

Denny Galli from Dayton, NV was fishing the Carson River in Dayton, NV by the Dam last night and landed 5  Bass. Thanks for sharing Denny!

We've been working hard to reopen. Please visit parks.nv.gov and the previous post we have for updated fire restrictions and covid related updates as Lahontan begins to reopen for camping with some limitations. Please call our offices for questions and concerns. Thank you, Park Rangers and Staff.

The ranch hasn’t had anyone on it for about a week, prior to that it was fishing very well. Lots of nice fish in the 14 to 20 inch range being caught out there. Like the California side it has been mostly nymphing with caddis nymphs with a few good streamer reports mixed in. Soft hackles and small stonefly nymphs have also been doing well

The area is open to the public now for fishing. They have stocked Hinkson Slough with rainbow trout.

This #WatershedWednesday, we take you back to the Walker River State Recreation Area to meet up with Conservation Specialist Samantha Essig and learn more about beavers and trees along the East Walker River. #DiscoverNVStateParks #StaySafeToStayOpen

Water Temperature: 55 degrees Wiper/ White Bass: Wiper and White Bass have started popping up on sandy beaches near drop offs and ledges. Actively is increasing around 4pm. Try using bright colored or shiny lures. Catfish: Catfish are being reported all around the lake. Anglers are having a lot of luck at the entrance to the narrows on the Fallon side, and near the dam at overlook.

We had a great time fishing at the Elbow of the East Walker River.   We caught and released a total of 10 trout (6 Rainbows and 4 Brown Trout).  We caught the trout using a variety of techniques.   On the bait side we caught fish using Salmon Eggs and Night Crawlers.  We also had luck casting lures.  We were successful using Panther Martins, Roostertails and

Today, I took the kids on our weekly journey to maximize our social distancing from the rest of the World.   We had a good time checking out the great outdoors in Northern Nevada.   We did spend some time fishing and caught one Brown Trout and two Rainbows.  All the fish were caught on the mini sinking Rapala.

The ranch has been very good lately as well, it’s starting to get booked up quite a bit in advance lately so if you want to spend some time down there be sure to give us a call ahead of time to see if there’s any room on the calendar. They’re still hitting some stoneflies on the ranch as well as most of the usual

We also did not have a few clients on the Sceirine this week, they did not do well with rubber legs, san juans, poxyback stones, soft hackles and rainbow warriors while they were not there.    

Very good reports from the ranch this week, lots of nice fish up to nearly 20” were caught down there. The patterns that were reported included rainbow warrior, squirmy wormy, rubber legs, pheasant tail, soft hackle and flashback emerger. One angler told us they fished a dry/dropper rig for a while and were able to pull some good fish on the dropper but nothing on

We only talked to two anglers who fished the ranch this week and they had a blast! They each caught over 20 fish, all on nymphs. Small-ish stonefly patterns as well as small baetis patterns did the trick for them. They also fished a few soft hackles and prince nymphs. If you want to book some time on the river just give us a call!  

We haven’t had much traffic on the ranch lately though the one report we did get in recent weeks was pretty good. The seemed to be liking stonefly nymphs, worms and soft hackles the best down there. 

A report from Hinkson! From the newly retired ‘ I get to fish my guts out! ~ JG’ : Really good day again today but not quite as active as Saturday. Water never got above 44° until about 3 o’clock this afternoon. Complete ice off did not happen until after two. My buddy and I caught a lot of fish. I did not keep track but if
