Lyon County Fish Reports

The NDOW planted the upper and lower part of Douglas County as well as the Carson City area recently with rainbow trout. The flows on the river have come down after the rains and were at 353 CFS this week.

Flows on the Truckee River have held steady around 430 cfs through the Reno gauge. Recent storms have caused bumps in the flow, but overall the river has been in great shape. Temperatures on the river have also remained the same, starting the day below 60 degrees and ending the day near 68. Conditions are looking great for the end of summer and fall fishing

We had some bookings on the ranch this past week with some anglers not willing to deal with the over abundance of water while other anglers had very good days. The successful anglers fished streamers like the ones listed above and were very happy when they returned. It’s the same situation as on the Cali side, you need to search out the softer water, not

Fishing has been good at Lahontan. Spin fisherman using jigs and spoons and fly fisherman using bright streamers are still consistently finding fish. The typical sandy beaches have been putting out fair numbers of small bass early and late in the day. Walleye fishing has been fair near the dam but should pick up as we start to cool down. There has been a few

Flows have finally come down on the EW and fishing should be really good for the remainder of the summer. The hatchery just stocked nearly 5k fish in the last week with flows still a little higher than average. Be sure to use caution when wading. Spin fishing with spoons and rapalas should continue to produce fish in deep water and protected pools. Fishing should

We haven’ t had anyone on the ranch lately, hopefully when the flows come down at some point we will have some good reports for you.

The reservoir is approximately 279,500 acre feet. That is almost 90% full! With the rising water level, beach space is extremely limited. Many beaches, such as Beach 7 and Beach 5, are underwater or will be within a few days. If you decide to come out to camp, please be courteous and respectful to your neighbors. We anticipate crowded conditions so please share beach space.

MASON VALLEY WMA UPDATE: Mason Valley Wildlife Management Area is temporarily closed due to flooding along the Walker River. Lux Lane to the Fort Churchill Cooling Pond is now flooded and impassable. We will continue to monitor and manage flooding, and will notify you when the WMA is re-opened, but we anticipate flooding and public safety concerns to persist for the foreseeable future. Thank you

Hinkson Slough has been fishing well. The best flies for retrieving seem to be the same dark buggers and leech patterns that always work. Midge larva under strike indicators will just about always work when trout are active. Bass fishing will start to pick up as soon as we get ta little warm weather.
