Lyon County Fish Reports

Flows & Water Conditions: Fair-Good; Water temperatures reach low-70s by early afternoon Clarity: Fluctuating Daily CFS: 243 Fishing Report & Conditions: Fair-Good Crowds have decreased but the water temperatures are rising - It’s best to only fish the mornings and monitor the water temperatures to avoid fish fatality. Up near the dam, big lake midges are pretty ineffective now. We are seeing success in much smaller “Crowley-sized” midges. The slower waters

The Sceirine has been fishing well this past week, as with the California side it has warmed up a bit but the fish are still very healthy. If it comes down to it we may have to stop bookings on the ranch for a few weeks, we’ll let you know if that happens.        

The ranch is also still kicking out lots of nice fish lately, in addition to the flies mentioned for the California side you can also fish some stonefly nymphs and have good success. There are quite a few dates booked up for the Sceirine so if you’d like to get on the water down there just give us a call.    

Flows have been a little high at roughly 250cfs for quite a while, but fishing has remained excellent. Stocking has been strong from spring through summer so far and should continue as temperatures allow. Spin fisherman using bright spinners and small spoons are finding fish just about everywhere. Fly fisherman with larger streamers in the deeper runs have been just as effective as the spinners.

The ranch is still fishing well with lots of nice fish being caught up there. Most of the same patterns will work on the ranch as are working on the Cali side, maybe throw in a few squirmy worms and the like in pink and red.

Sam checked in with us from a recent trip to Lahontan Reservoir. Here is his report: "Caught a 17.5-inch wiper on a roostertail near the shore between the launch ramp and the dam. Was disappointed not to catch any white bass or get troll bit. The water was 68 degrees with light NE conditions." Thanks for sharing, Sam!

Lahontan Reservoir, located in Lahontan State Recreation Area, has been placed under a HAB Watch Advisory due to an active Harmful Algae Bloom. A recent water test produced low algal toxin concentrations, and has been backed up by visual indicators and satellite imagery. These toxic algae can cause serious health issues for humans and animals. If you see water that looks discolored or smells bad, stay away.

The ranch is still fishing very well, fly selection will be much the same as on the California side of the river as well. Lots of caddis and midges hatching down there, with lots of nice fish eating both on the surface and on the bottom. Give us a call if you’d like to book a day on the ranch.

Check out June's cathces this weekend with her dad fishing on the Carson River in Dayton, NV.

The Ranch has been fishing excellent lately, lots of nice fish up to the 22” range have been being caught down there. As with the California side of the river the dries and nymphs are the best way to go on the ranch. If you want to get on the calendar for some time down there just give us a call.    

The ranch is still fishing very well just like the Cali side of the river, of course the ranch section doesn’t get nearly as crowded as the rest of the water down there so if you want to have a little bit of river without the crowds give us a call and see about a reservation! 

The kids carp derby is back! Join us at the Churchill County Day Use Area at Lahontan Reservoir on Saturday June 1st from 8-11am. Registration opens at 7am and awards will follow the fishing at 11. Prizes awarded for the three largest fish caught in each of the three age categories. There will also be one special award for the angler that catches the most

The ranch is pretty much in the same boat as the Cali side of the river, the higher flows have made it a bit more difficult but there are still good fish being caught. Much of the same patterns that are working on the Cali side are also working on the Nevada side as well as the ranch.    

The ranch is still fishing well with lots of good fish being caught, also mostly on nymphs and streamers. We’re still getting some good reports of somefish in the 20 to 25 inch range down there. Give us a call if you’d like to book some time on the ranch.  

The ranch is still fishing very well with lots of fish being caught in the 16 to 20 inch range as well as a few over the 20” mark. They’re still taking streamers and nymphs just like the California side of the river. With the higher flows it is a little more difficult to get around but it’s still very doable. Give is a call

The East Walker has seen a phenomenal month of fishing on the Nevada side. Nymphing in the morning turns into great dry fly fishing in the evening for both rainbow and brown trout.

Flows are about to go way up with the spring snowmelt. Fishing for bass above Mexican Dam should pick up when we reach the end of runoff. Trout fishing should be good where trout are stocked following the peak runoff.

Still getting good reports from the ranch, lots of nice fish in the 14 to 20 inch range there. most of the same patterns that are working on the Rosachi will also work on the Sceirine. Give is a call if you’d like to reserve some time on the ranch.
