Western Nevada Fish Reports

Electric hour and half for 8 keepers 6 throw backs and 6 lost fish. Lil smaller today but still a blast!

Great bite this morning..... yes it didn't last to very long but long enough to land this awesome looking string of Mackinaw Great job guys

This is not the Bighorn. That was a bumper sticker I saw, sums it up almost perfectly for the Truckee River. Took a few folks out this week that asked, is the whole river this rocky and gnarly? Yep, pretty much. I can’t take the boulders out, or make it any easier to wade. I can get you fish if you can move around in the river.

Did a south shore Kokanee haul today. Easy to get but I’m not much of Kokanee fishermen. I love jigging for them but when no matter what size they are you know that each one will Essentially be the same I get to wanting something else. Miss the childhood days of 2-4 lbers or like 2013 and 2014 when we had some 3-5 lb 18-24

Awesome morning. Kept 5. Three back 7 by 6:50 am. Third trip this week for Frank and company so they only kept few for newcomer Vince to have dinner! Now refuel and round 2

Early in the day is the name of the game on the Truckee River for trout. Water temps are creeping up towards 68F in the afternoon but dropping overnight. The afternoons are a great time to give the trout a break when the temps rise and a chance to chase warm water species, like our local bass and carp. Swing by the shop and we can

Team Soto crushed it with Tyler my son as deckhand. Limits plus and Tyler got in on it when we had triple hookups!

Sliding right through summer on the Truckee River. Fishing has been good in the morning. Shitty in the afternoons. Good at dark again. That’s the pattern right now. Forecast is for things to heat up next week. 100’s in the valley, and I’m betting 90’s in the Hirsch. No, I will not take you out in the afternoon until it cools. If you want a death

Anthony checked in with us with a fishing report from Topaz Lake: Fished Topaz today for a few hours. Got on the water around 11am and trolled around for a bit. Landed 5 nice rainbows; one was about 20 inches and 4-5 pounds. Had half a dozen come off before landing them. Down riggers at 40ft. Rapala behind a flasher for one set up other was

The team got em good and by 6:45am! Goofed around after for bit!

Hooked Up Sportfishing out of Carnelian Bay in Lake Tahoe went out today with these guys. Welcome back, a little different from fishing in the spring huh? We tried a new spot, got some good bites just couldn't get them to come up. For reservations and information on fishing Lake Tahoe, call: 775-772-1453 or 530-546-2221

Great day, caught 14 pretty quickly, kept the ones we wanted then later during cleaning we got about a 8 lber that actually broke off but ended up in the other line and we got it but was ridiculous mess. Just tossed it back without photo!

Every summer NDOW staff and volunteers head to western Nevada's beautiful Marlette Lake for the annual Marlette Lake Broodstock Spawning Project. The eggs we get from this project provide our fish hatcheries with most of the trout we stock in waters across the state. In this week's Nevada Wild, NDOW's Ashley Sanchez and Aaron Keller sit down with Native Aquatic Staff Specialist Chris Crookshanks and Western Region

With flows steadily dropping in the upper river the lower river (Glenshire Dr. to Stateline) is now fishing best. Great hatches coming off throughout the day with the most predictable of these being caddis in the late evening. Expect PMD’s mid-morning, Yellow Sallies mid-day, the occasional Golden Stone and a variety of terrestrials including Grasshoppers and Ants. Nymphing the deep runs has still been the

Took a couple of hours today but still got limits plus! Kept what we liked!

Truckee River  Through the downtown gauge, the Truckee River has been holding steady around 450 CFS.  This is perfect flows in my opinion. Wading is easier, and the river really starts to show off its details as the water level settles into the deeper channels of the channel. Pocket water, and shallow riffled water will hold feeding fish, as fish who are resting will seek out

Get em quick then off to breakfast!

Hooked Up Sportfishing out of Carnelian Bay in Lake Tahoe went out today with 3 anglers and caught these 6 Mackinaw. I wonder who caught the big fish of the day ????? For reservations and information on fishing Lake Tahoe, call: 775-772-1453 or 530-546-2221

Stack em then rack em! Kids killed it today keeping limits for all of us and releasing some!

Nice in the a.m., windy and hot in the afternoons. Good again right before dark. Pretty much like this every summer. Flows are average now, fishing is too. Best thing to do is tight line nymph the fast pocked water. Fish are all over, spread out. Cover some water and you’ll put some trouts in the net. Like I say this time of year, the folks
