Lyon County Fish Reports

The Sceirine fished excellent this past week with anglers reporting great days with streamers and nymphs. Most of the anglers we got reports from reported 10 to 15 fish per half day with several in the bunch being in the 20+ range as well as a couple large rainbows that taped around 25”. With the higher flows and slightly warmer weather the fish are very

Hinkson Slough is back! – After two years of repairs and rehabilitation, Hinkson Slough is healthy and fishing very well. NDOW Angler Education joined Project Healing Waters and the High Sierra Fly Casters to celebrate the opener and Hinkson didn’t disappoint! The annual event was free and open to anyone and everyone. Those that made it out enjoyed coffee, donuts, tackle, flies, and utilized NDOW

We are excited to celebrate the reopening of Hinkson Slough in Mason Valley. Join NDOW staff and volunteers on Saturday morning rain or shine for hardware and fly giveaways to celebrate the reopening. No registration required. See you there! https://www.register-ed.com/events/view/221645  

Haven’t really talked to anyone who’s been hitting up the Rosachi, or the Sceirine lately, so I don’t really have much to report. If you’re heading down there I would expect the best time of the day to be from about 10am to 3pm or so because of the colder temperatures. The last couple anglers I did talk to had the best luck with streamers

The only report I’ve had back from the ranch lately was that it was pretty slow on nymphs for a while at first in the morning but then when this angler switched to streamers he did very well, several fish in the 20+ inch range, mostly browns. He was very happy he made the switch to streamers as he ended up having a very good

Open to fishing all year for lures, flys and bait anglers.

The ranch is still fishing very well with much the same patterns as are working on the California side of the border. Lots of nice fish being caught with both nymphs and streamers down there. If you’d like to book some time on the water down there just give us a call.

The ranch has been fishing excellent this past week with reports coming in from anglers getting into 30+ fish per day. Some of the anglers down there are doing great with streamers and some with nymphs, it seems like one or the other works better on certain days so I would be prepared to fish whichever method they are liking the best for the day

The east Walker is slowly dropping for the season and is still fishing excellent. Stocking has been strong through the summer. Spin fisherman using bright spinners and small spoons are finding fish in water with a little depth. Fly fisherman with larger streamers in the deeper runs have been just as effective as the spinners. Tight line nymphing has been deadly with mayfly imitations. Hoppers

Don't think all the fish on the East Walker died! This bad boy came up for a well presented dry fly on the Sceirine Ranch today. Remember, the fish kill only impacted the upper two miles of river. That leaves 30 plus miles of river that is healthy and full of trout.

There was some unfortunate news from the East Walker River over the past month. We understand that there was an event in and near Bridgeport Reservoir that caused a fish kill downstream of the dam. The CA Fish and Wildlife responded with an investigation and a suggestion of not fishing on the CA section of the East Fork Walker River. In communication with NDOW there

Based on water test results, Lahontan Reservoir located within Lahontan State Recreation Area, has been placed under a HAB Danger Advisory. Recent test results detected toxins above the recreational threshold elevating the advisory from HAB Watch to HAB Danger. These toxic algae can cause serious health issues for humans and animals. If you see water that looks discolored or smells bad, stay away. For a full list of

 The river is low but still vey fishable for those that do not mind a little walking. Drifting salmon eggs into the deeper areas has been productive. Down in the Woodfords canyon area I saw a few small rainbows in the faster deeper waters. I spoke with one angler using a copper jon and a prince nymph and had been doing fair. The CDFW planted
