Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

Pyramid Lake

by THE TROUT FITTER STAFF

Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Fishing has been about average for numbers of fish but we have stuck fish up to 17 1/2 lbs. in the last week. It is a matter of patience, waiting for a pod of fish to come through then you see multiple hookups. The Tui Chubs are up to about 3 1/2 inches right now, so we have been throwing some large

Lake Tahoe Fishing Report

The wind and the chill has been a challenge. But for those that do accept the a little chill in the air, the reward is great. I talked with Gene St Denis last week. Gene said they had three fish on that were so big, they could not land them. Average mackinaw have been 2 to 5 pounds. Best areas have been on the

Fishing has been good. Don James and his fishing partner Don Coffin fished near Hells Kitchen with a gold chub lure. They caught and released a 31 inch 18 pound cutthroat trout.

Pyramid Lake in Nevada has been good. We’ve been throwing the switch rods out there for sure. Great place to learn the 2 handed overhand cast. Bonus is that you could catch a fish in the 20 pound class. We haven’t this year, but it’s just being on the right beach at the right time. It’ll happen. Remember, find a beach with the wind blowing

Truckee River Fishing Report

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

The Truckee River is still about the same as last post. Flows are about 225 cubes here in the Hirsch and bit higher down into Nevada. Winter fishing folks. Trouts have moved into slower deeper water. You must hit them on the head and remember winter trouts are lethargic. Be patient and cover the water thoroughly, if you don’t hook up, go back and do

Pyramid Lake has been fishing very very well. Hard to get skunked out there right now. Most all of the beaches have fish on them. Find a beach and fish into the wind if you can. These storm cycles will keep the bite on. Low pressure is generally good for the lake. We had a great switch rod clinic this past weekend and I don’t

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

It’s more winter than fall on the Truckee River and Pyramid Lake Nevada. Cold and snow and rain, hopefully it will keep coming. Good news for both venues as the weather helps the fishing. Cold cloudy days are better than cold sunny days. Just is. On the Truckee River we’ve been getting into some, not a lot, but some. Those some are usually big this time of
