Western Nevada Fish Reports

Hello fellow anglers. I am here to tell you, Topaz Lake was a great opener this year. The weather on January 1st surprised many anglers as we experienced some extreme winds as well as some good rain in the afternoon. But for those that stuck it out, were all rewarded with a double rainbow. My fishing partner Tom Blotter from Minden and I got on the

Congratulations to Patrick Prudhel! He caught the new water record for rainbow trout from Topaz Lake on January 1(the season opener!). The fish weighed 14 pounds 10 ounces and was 33 inches long. The old record was 13 pounds 8 ounces caught by Tony Hemmah on April 1, 1998. Patrick’s fish is a hefty one, with the state record not too far out at 16 pounds

  As we are settling into the heart of winter and getting acclimated to weather, the fish are doing the same.  In the last month we have had some frigid winter days.  As the water temperatures have dropped the fish have been frequenting the shallows a bit more.  What does this mean?  Fishing is picking up!  The large Pilot peak strain are starting to feed heavily

Good last week on the Truckee River. Warm temps got the fishing going. We had some days in Reno near 60. Gonna get colder this week, not too bad though for January. Smaller slider type storms will brush us. As long as you don’t have that East wind, won’t be too bad temp wise. Hopefully, we get get some big storms by the end of the

Carson City resident Joe Lash has been fishing the Lake Topaz opener for 10 years. This New Year's Day event turned out to be OK, initially. Lash and his girlfriend, Lisa Edmonds, caught two fish. But it was what happened Jan. 2, that made his fishing day stand out from all the rest. On the second day of their fishing trip, Joe and Lisa caught two

Cold has been the word on the Truckee River. No post last week as we were on the East Coast and no fishing for me.  So the last 3 days, I’ve been on the lower river. It’s been cold. One or two grabs each day on the streamers. Yes, very slow, but the ones that did eat have been big, real big. Lows overnight in Reno have

The season opener at Topaz Lake is January 1. For many families, spending New Year's Day at the lake has become a tradition. In this week's Nevada Wild, Ashley Sanchez and Aaron Keller sit down with fisheries biologists Kris Urquhart and Chris Crookshanks to talk about fishing conditions on Topaz Lake, an underutilized fishery at the lake, and how anglers can give their input on a year-round season.

Starting off cold this week on the Truckee River. Last week was pretty warm. Mostly was all rain here in the Hirsch. Temps got into the 40’s, good for the winter trout fishing. Teens this week in the morning. Not all that warm in the afternoon either. Highs in the 20’s. Looks like it will warm later this week? The forest is for a cold and
