Still some good streamer action throughout the day as well as some decent dry/dropper action

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by JIM AKENSON

We're still getting mostly good reports from the ranch, there's still some good streamer action throughout the day as well as some decent dry/dropper action. It sounds like the streamer action is the best. You could also go straight nymphing and likely have some success.

We're still getting very good streamer and dry/dropper reports from the ranch lately as well, most anglers reporting having very successful days down there.

East Walker River - The Elbow

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS

This little stream is the one in our area that is affected by low flows and high water temps the most. The snowpack is helping greatly. The flows are 140 CFS. That is amazing for August.

Lahontan has been fishing very well for walleye, catfish, white bass, carp, and wipers

Lahontan Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Lahontan has been fishing very well for walleye, catfish, white bass, carp, and wipers. Carp and white bass can typically be found near the sandy beaches early and late in the day. The walleye, wipers, and catfish seem to prefer some structure. Look for submerged trees and ledges/deep drop-offs to find the wipers and walleye. Rapalas, swim baits, and large spoons have been effective. Catfish

East Walker River (NV)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Flows are perfect at the moment, but that can change very quickly. Flows will likely bounce around in the next few weeks as the heat gets brutal. Keep an eye on water temps if you’re planning to release your catch. Morning fishing has been best with some hopper action in the afternoons. Focusing on water with bubbles is key during the hottest part of the
