Lyon County Fish Reports

Kind of the same story on the Sceirine, some good reports and some not so good as well. Just like on the Cali side you need to get your bugs down and get a good dead drift. The water temps are around 50 degrees now and it looks like most of the storms have passed for the time being so things should get better and

We didn’t have any traffic on the ranch this week but with the way the California side and the Rosachi section have been fishing it should be pretty good down there! There’s plenty of room left this week if you want to reserve some time on the private water.

Thank you Mike Adams for sharing these great fishing photos. They make us want to get outside! Mike's kids caught these last week at Lahontan. The first picture shows Mike and his son holding a 15 lb. 5 oz. catfish caught by his son. The second picture shows Mike holding a 12 lb. 7 oz. catfish caught by his daughter.

The ranch fished excellent this week with reports coming in of anglers getting into an even mix of browns and rainbows and getting 15 to 25 fish per day. Sounds like the best time of the day has been between about 10 and 2 with the best success coming with nymphs. A couple fish have been caught on streamers but nymphing has been the best.

We did have one client on the ranch this week and he was able to hook up a dozen or more fish, both browns and rainbows.  His best success was on san juan worms, dark lords and conehead zuddlers.  He reported that the fish were very feisty and fought hard.  Most of the fish were in the 14 to 18 inch range with one or

Located of highway alt 95 between Wabuska and Yerington NV. The area opened to fishing on the second Saturday of February, which was last weekend. Check your regulations to see special rules for each area to fish. The only areas open are Hinkson Slough, Crappie Pond, Bass Pond, North Pond, Walker River and the Cooling ponds. Hinkson was recently planted with rainbow and brown trout,

White bass from shore are popular now and anglers have reported catching Wipers up to 5 lbs in the last few weeks. The bass have been a little inconsistent but when you find them, expect to hook up often. Spin fisherman using chartreuse and white jigs, kastmasters, and small spinners are finding good bass numbers. Fly fisherman are finding bass on bright streamers along many

The NDOW has planted the Wilson Canyon area last week with nice catchable rainbow trout. They are a strain of diploid trout.

Fishing is open all year in Nevada. The NDOW planted the broken dam above Gardnerville a couple weeks ago.

The ranch fished very well this week, the anglers we spoke with that were down there caught most of their fish on squirmy wormy’s, stonefly nymphs and dead drift crayfish.  The action was good throughout the day down there.  We have quite a few reservations coming up for the ranch so if you want to get on the water down there be sure to call

The ranch has been fishing about the same as the California side, some good reports and some not so good.  There wasn’t as much traffic on the ranch this week as in the last couple weeks so we haven’t had as many reports lately.  The same patterns have been working down there with the addition of some stonefly nymphs.

The ranch is still fishing very well, on par with the other sections of the river.  There seems to be more browns becoming active so this is always fun.  The flies listed above are all working well on the ranch and you could add some stonefly patterns to the arsenal.

The Sceirine is also still fishing very well and of course there are no crowds down there.  The dead drift crayfish pattern and sculpzilla patterns have been great for streamers and for nymphs there’s a handful like prince nymphs, dark lords, flashback emergers, poxyback stones and rainbow warriors that have all been doing well.  There are some reservations being booked in advance lately so give

The Nevada side of the Carson River is open all year to fishing.  The water level is low but a few anglers have caught some small rainbows off the broken dam using salmon eggs and a split shot.
