The Key is Depth!

 Pyramid Lake
by RENO FLY SHOP
The opener at Pyramid Lake has finally arrived!  Fish are in deeper water due to the 68-70 degree surface temps.  This has the fish holding in 20 to 30 feet of water.  A float tube or boat is the most effective way to fish for these monster trout right now as fish are only intermittently coming into the shallows to eat.  There is bait everywhere

Fish are Moving into Faster Water

 Truckee River
by RENO FLY SHOP
Flows in the Truckee River are fluctuating from 350 cfs to 250 cfs at the downtown gauge depending on upstream releases and diversions. Not a lot of change on the Truckee river as of late.  Fish are moving into faster water to put on the feed bag for winter.  Search pocket water and runs moving faster than a walking pace.  Fish are being caught all times

Truckee River Fly Fishing Report

 Truckee River
by MATT KOLES
Summer turned to fall on the Truckee River.  I needed it.  Ain’t easy catching trouts when it’s 94 degrees out.  Ain’t easy on the body either.  We’ve had clouds, rain, and even a duster of snow on the peaks.  The fishing is much, much better on the entire Truckee River. We’ve wrecked ‘em on the streamers a few days last week on the lower river.  Clouds

Dry Fly Fishing has Been Excellent

 Hobart Reservoir
by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing has been excellent.  Although, fishing did slow slightly during the mid-summer heat.  Hobart has been very popular this year which has demanded lighter lines and tippets to catch fish.  Dry fly fishing has been excellent when the wind is calm with small terrestrials and a few callibaetis mayflies in the afternoons.  Small parachute Adams are an excellent choice for matching the callibaetis at Hobart.

The Recent Stocking Event has Improved the Fishing for Trout

 Washoe Lake
by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing has been slow with the majority of the catch being channel catfish.  The recent stocking event has improved the fishing for trout and should continue to be good on the dam end of the lake. The largemouth bass are showing up in solid numbers in the shallows. As summer continues, the trout fishing will slow at the north/inlet end of the lake.  Spin fisherman

Fishing has Been Excellent with Flows Closer to Normal

 Carson River
by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
It’s really been an up and down season for the Carson, primarily being up.  Flows remained pretty high till the end of June keeping much of the fishing limited.  Since then, fishing has been excellent with flows closer to normal fall levels now.  The parks and bridges where stocking occurs has definitely been the most consistent option.  Bait fisherman using light lines and leaders drifting

A Few Large Walleye Have Been Caught this Season

 Lahontan Reservoir
by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The bass have been a little inconsistent but when you find them, expect to hook up often.  The cooler overnight lows have the fish less active in the morning making afternoons and evening the best bet.  Spin fisherman using chartreuse and white jigs, kastmasters, and small spinners are finding fish along sandy beaches.  Fly fisherman are finding bass on bright streamers along many of the

East Walker River Fishing Report

 East Walker River (NV)
by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing continues to be excellent on the East Walker.  It did slow slightly due to extended high temps but will bounce back quickly with fall nearly here.  As water temperatures drop, the caddis activity will slow some but still be the bug of choice until the cold really sets in.  Nymph fishing has slowed slightly but streamer fishing has gotten better with the recent unstable

Fly Fisherman are Finding Trout in Deeper Areas

 Bilk Creek Reservoir
by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Cool nights are helping to improve the trout fishing while the bass bite is still on during the warmest part of the day.  Spin fishermen are finding bass on spinners and small spoons.  Fly fisherman are finding trout in deeper areas of the lake on nymphs and small streamers.  Look for fish on the surface early and late in the day and try just about

Chimney Dam Reservoir Report

 Chimney Dam Reservoir
by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing is fair to slow for walleye, crappie, wiper and catfish.  A few walleye are being caught slowly trolling minnow imitations or worm harnesses.  Trolling faster with rapala minnow imitations is a good method for walleye as well.  For crappie use bright colored jigs in the flooded vegetation.  The few that fly fish Chimney Reservoir tend to stick with the chartreuse and yellow Clouser minnows.

We Should Continue to see Quality Fish

 Knott Creek Reservoir
by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing has been good and should remain that way until the season close.  For the fly fisherman, damsels are still out in good numbers but the best bet has been on leech patterns.  Fishing from shore will be possible again after a few good hard freezes knock out some of the suspended vegetation.  Trolling leech patterns for larger aggressive trout has been the most popular

Onion Valley Reservoir Fishing Report

 Onion Valley Reservoir

Fishing has been good and will continue to get better with the falling temperatures. Spin fisherman using small rooster tails, spoons, kastmasters, and mepps are catching trout 12-15”” range. Fly fisherman in boats trolling small woolly buggers, leech patterns, and nymphs continue to pick up fish all day long. Some of the better fly patterns include; sheep creek specials, Zug bugs, and red copper John’s.
