Morning Fishing From Shore Has Been Productive

Pyramid Lake

by RENO FLY SHOP

Morning fishing from shore has been fairly productive with indicators and balanced leeches and retrieving wooly buggers and booby flies. After the morning rush, fishing from shore cools off considerably. The LCT will move into deeper water, but most of the active fish are below 50’, too deep to effectively employ a fly line even with heavy flies. Not to mention the effects of catching

When Pyramid Lake “turns-over”

Pyramid Lake

by RENO FLY SHOP

Recently Mike Anderson put in the On-the-Water report that Pyramid Lake began to “turn-over” or “flip”. I thought it would be a good opportunity to review what happens to a lake when it turns over and how it is a good thing for the lake and specifically how it is a good thing for fly fishing Pyramid Lake. Here is Mike’s most recent on-the-water report that

Truckee River Fishing Report

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Nice balmy fall weather on the Truckee River. Cold as balls in the morning. Warms up nice in the afternoon. Typical fall weather in Tahoe/Reno. As far as the fishing, well, it’s good. October is a great month here and anywhere to fish for trout in the West. I think November is better than October, but the weather sure is nice right now. Flows have dropped, nice and

Pyramid Lake

by RENO FLY SHOP

The opener has come and gone, and it was a busy one. Fishing was a little slow with only a few fish caught through the day. Water temps are already at 64 degrees (which is much cooler than past openers). Fish are looking to chase tui-chub, but with temperatures dropping quickly the bait fish are heading into deeper water. Retrieving Booby Flies, Pyramid Lake Beetle,

Truckee River

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River is fluctuating a bit from the storms earlier in the week, but is stabilizing around 375 cfs. Fall is definitely upon us. Storms are beginning to stack up and colder temperatures are moving in. On colder days fish have been becoming active later in the afternoon. Fly selection is getting simpler as most insects are tucking into rocks and preparing to hibernate.

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Big changes ahead this week weather wise. Lows could get into the teens here in the Hirsch, highs in the upper 40’s. Nice and cold at night and cool during the day in Reno as well. Maybe not much of an Indian Summer this fall. Fishing has been very good if you plan your fishing when the trouts are feeding. I think most of the time we
