Water Clarity Is DIfferent Around The Lake

by MIKE NIELSEN

Smaller grade of fish overall but still fun. Water clarity is very different in certain areas. Some places very murky already with some runoff while other areas it’s as clear as I can ever recall. I was showing the group bottom with naked eye at 60 ft with ease. The video looks like 5 ft in about 20 plus!

Fishing Has Still Been Slow

by DOUG BUSEY

Fishing has still been slow. I caught 4 rainbows last weekend using green Powerbait. I fished on the south end of the lake. I spoke with a couple trollers that caught a few of the planter fish in the 8 to 12 inch class. I trolled the lake a couple weeks ago and had fair success in the morning and then the bite quickly turned

As Usual Beaches Are Full

by PYRAMID LAKE GUIDES

As usual the beaches are full! Anglers are anxious to get good fishing spots super early in the morning. Crosby Lodge is pretty much booked up, and the nightly dinner specials are in full swing. The fishing is good!

Try Indicator FIshing

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Fishing at Pyramid Lake switches from a size game to a numbers game as fish move in to shallower water in anticipation for spawn. Try indicator fishing using midges in red, black or wine or balanced leeches in Black or Olive. Stripping streamers is another good option right now using Buggers, Beetles, or general purpose streamers in olive white or black. RECOMMENDED GEAR: 9-11 Ft. 7-8 Wt.

Early Season Can Be One of The Best Times to Fish

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Big water should not deter you from fishing this time of year as early season can be one of the best times to go. With most of the water coming out of Lake Tahoe, the river is running clear and fishing smaller BWO and Midge patterns is still an option. Skwala stones are starting up and are the big calorie option for these fish and

Good One Day and Tough The Next

by RENO FLY SHOP

Good one day and tough the next seems to be the theme of recent days at Pyramid Lake. Water temperatures are reaching that 50 degree mark on less cloudy days. This is bringing the fish in close for a streamer bite in the late afternoon. Using a floating line with a smaller weighted streamer or balanced leech can be a fun effective way to target

Higherwater Fishing on Truckee Right Now

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River has jumped up a little bit from the last report and is above 2,000 CFS at the Reno gage. The river is a little off color with the increased flow due to recent rains and tributary contribution. The current storms should move through pretty quick so the river should drop back into great fishable conditions soon. Fishing before this recent bump in flow

Bite Has Picked Up

by DOUG RODRICKS

It has been a good bite here as the winter storms have stirred up the giant cutthroat to move into the beaches to feed. The bite has really picked up here lately with some real monsters putting themselves in the mix. Popcorn beetles, balanced leeches, midges, and black buggers have been the flies of choice lately. The water can be off color south of Wino,

Approaching Storms Will Make Pyramid Even Better

by RENO FLY SHOP

Fishing at Pyramid Lake is good right now and with a couple approaching storms should get even better.

Truckee Clarity is Really Good

by MATT KOLES

Nice warmish weather on the Truckee River. Still very cold at night, but warm afternoons the last few days. A little snowmelt, but not much yet. In fact most of our snow down low is melting slowly. Good, we don’t need it to melt all at once. Access is a lot easier here in the Hirsch. No snow at all anymore below Floriston into Nevada. Only thing

Going Deep for The Macs

by HANS MOXLEY

How fun was that! Great having you all out today.

Good Fishing if You Can Find the Soft Water

by MATT KOLES

Still a bit cold and snowing. No snow here in the Hirsch, but still snowing on top. Big winter so far. Lots of water in the river too. About 1,600 k here, and just a bit higher in Nevada. Snows melting a bit and getting to the river is a little easier this last week. Good fishing if you can find the soft water. The Truckee River will

The Winter Storms Have Stirred Up the Giant Cutthroat

by DOUG RODRICKS

It has been a good bite here as the winter storms have stirred up the giant cutthroat to move into the beaches to feed. Popcorn beetles, balanced leeches, midges, and black buggers have been the flies of choice lately. The water can be off color south of Wino, but it has been cleaner and more consistent from the North nets area. Some of the popular

Really Good From Here Through Memorial Day.

by RENO FLY SHOP

Looks like there is a chance that we are currently receiving the last of the big cold storms of the season. I know that we will still have some storms, but we are hoping that they large cold crazy ones have now passed. The Truckee river is moderately high currently. Bouncing around 1,600-1,800 cfs. This can be a challenging level but one can be rewarded with

Quality Fish Lately!

We are headed into spring and the temps are ideal for fishing Pyramid. We’ve seen some quality fish lately!

by FISH REPORTS STAFF

This was caught at Topaz Wed Feb 27th on the shore. The fish was caught by Tony Valenzuela of Dayton.

Fishing is Super Good.

by MATT KOLES

Still raining and snowing. Mostly rain here last week. Good, melted a lot of snow. Still hard to get to the river here in the Hirsch, but better than the week before. Down about Farad, most of the snow has melted off. We still have about 4-5 feet at my house. The gates are open on Lake Tahoe. I imagine them to stay open for the foreseeable

High water is a Great Time to Get Out

by RENO FLY SHOP

Higher water on the Truckee river is a great time to get out. Fish the edges of the channel and still look for BWOs on cloudy days.
