Fishing has been best up on the north end for mackinaws NEW

by DOUG BUSEY

Fishing has been best up on the north end for mackinaws around the McKinney Bay area or Dollar Point. Keep an eye on your depth finder. There are some sharp ledges up there, but that is what holds the fish in the area. A dodger and a live minnow in 150 to 200 feet of water has been the ticket. Some anglers have been doing well

Topaz Lake Fishing Report NEW

by DOUG BUSEY

I fished the lake this week. Started at 5:30 a.m. and ended at noon. I had plenty of hits and plenty of fish right up to the boat, but that's what we call a short-distance release. All of the fish were suspended in 8 to 15 feet of water. I used my lead line with an F5 Hot Steel pattern and an F7 jointed perch-colored Rapala. These two

Lots of weather changes

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Thanks to the abnormally cold weather last week, the Truckee has narrowly avoided any hoot owl restrictions as we head into July, the warm weather in this weeks forecast will likely change things quickly in this respect, so if fishing later in the week, be sure to focus on the mornings and consider bringing a thermometer with you if you want to extend you day

Lots of good looking rainbows

With water temperatures increasing, bring a thermometer to test the temperature

Weathers been really nice

by MATT KOLES

4th of July weekend. Big weekend in Lake Tahoe, and on the Truckee River. Lots of folks in town. Just try to go Safeway in Truckee, I dare you. Weathers been really nice. Not too hot at all. In fact cold in the mornings. That should change a bit this week, and we'll get back to more Summer /hotter weather. That should put trouts back into

Stocking has begun at Seeman Pond and fishing has been good

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Stocking has begun at Seeman Pond and fishing has been good. Rainbow trout are caught primarily on salmon eggs and power bait on the bottom or under a bobber. Small wet flies and lures are also very effective on the pond. Pink floating power worms on a Carolina rig is pretty hard to beat at Seeman.

Onion has been fishing really well this summer

Onion Valley Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Onion has been fishing really well this summer for a few carryover trout and the recently stocked trout. Small spinners and spoons from shore have been great in addition to power bait and crawlers off the bottom. Fly fisherman have done well using large dries early and late in the day. Small streamer flies have been effective when there’s no fish on the surface.

Pyramid Lake is currently full, and the boat launch remains open. It is the closing weekend for fishing season at Pyramid Lake. The last day of the season is June 30th. Most anglers are finding the best success from float tubes, kayaks, or boats while fishing depths around 50 feet. Most fish are being caught using Pyramid-style jigs, Sierra Spoons, midges, balanced leeches, and various

Davis Creek Park Pond

The pond has reopened and has been stocked with trout this season. Pink floating power worms fished off the bottom are a favorite at Davis. Small dry flies can be fun fishing early and late in the day.

Marilyn’s Pond has been fishing very well but has also been busy

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Marilyn’s Pond has been fishing very well but has also been busy. Mid-week is definitely a better option if you’re looking for a little peace and quiet. Light leaders and tackle has been the key to success at the pond. Stocking will slow down a little as we really heat up but should still fish well through the summer heat.

Stocking continues through the summer at Bail

Baily Fishing Pond

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Stocking continues through the summer at Baily and trout fishing should remain good until temps no longer allow trout to be stocked. The Rainbow trout in Baily are caught primarily on salmon eggs and power bait on the bottom or under a bobber. Small wet flies and lures are also very effective on the pond. Fishing has been best for trout early and late in

Fishing has been good at Kinney

James Kinney Pond

Great river conditions

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Overall, conditions on the river are great. The flows are right at average for this time of year, and so are water temps. As expected for this time of year, we have begun to see some sections of the river near hoot owl levels and with these rising water temps, we encourage anglers to really focus on the morning hours at this point. If fishing

The mackinaw have been scattered throughout the water column

by DOUG BUSEY

The mackinaw have been scattered throughout the water column. One day they’re deep, and the next they’re suspended. Keep an eye on your sonar to ensure your presentation is in the right area and depth. Cave Rock, particularly along the southwest side near the rocks and knolls, has been producing good fish. The Camp Richardson area offers an early-morning bite with jigs or by trolling

Fishing has improved slightly during the early morning hours

by DOUG BUSEY

Fishing has improved slightly during the early morning hours. Once the jet skiers and recreational boaters arrive, the bite tends to slow down. Remember the rules of boating: reduce your speed to a no-wake zone when within 100 to 200 feet of a swimming area, beach, or moored vessel. If your wake causes damage, you can be held liable. Let’s all stay safe on the water.

Mixed Bag Action on Tahoe

by ROBERT VARIK

Fishing on Lake Tahoe was a mixed bag this week. A few jumbo lake trout were landed, with the biggest weighing up to 23 pounds. Kokanee salmon are starting to show up, and anglers are beginning to catch a few. Some decent rainbow trout and brown trout have also been caught randomly around the lake. Fishing should continue to improve as more kokanee move into the area

Best bet for success will be euro nymphing!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

As water temps continue to rise on the Truckee the dry fly bite has been a bit tougher this week. With the fish mostly holding in the fast moving sections of the Truckee, your best bet for success will be euro nymphing, focusing on the deeper pockets and riffles. The dry dropper fishing still remains a great option as well, with good numbers of fish

Good fishing in the morning!

by MATT KOLES

Feeling the heat on the Truckee River. Mid 90's every afternoon in the Hirsch, with a shot at a thunderstorm or 2. Good fishing if you get out in the mornings and can wade in the faster pocket water. Good luck if you can't. Probably be tough. Flows are very good, and that's keeping water temps in the healthy range. 650, here in Hirschdale. And good news,
