Rebuilding

Rye Patch Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The golden algae bloom that led to a substantial fish kill in the fall of 2015 has left a big question mark over the immediate future of this fishery. Fishing is expected to be slow, due to the fish die off that occurred in 2015. A few catfish survived the die off. Stocking and rebuilding the fishery will begin this spring and summer. Rye Patch

Gilligan Update

by MATT KOLES

Big big water. Well over 1200 cubes here in the Hirsch this last weekend, and now back to around 1000. The fishing seems to be very difficult if you do not have some experience fishing at these flows. Key is to stay out of the current, good luck. Fish slack edges and do not wade to far out, fish will be at your feet. The whole

Tahoe Bass

by MIKE NIELSEN

How bout trout guy playing with some bass? The Bass are sitting just at the top of the weed beds and casting the Rapala shadow Rap with slow steady retrieve and a little stop n twitch gets them to grab on. Cold water has them lethargic but warmer temps are assisting all the fish!

Truckee Good

by MATT KOLES

Hard to believe it’s already April. The Truckee River is still pumping pretty good, at least through the lower stuff here down in the Hirsch. Flows should come down soon after Donner and Prosser get rid of water for flood protection. Boca is almost up to the top. I have not seen it that full since ’12. Flows will increase from snow melt at some

The East is still running at 40 cfs right now and we've started getting more good reports from the river, both on the Cali and Nevada sides. I wouldn't say the fishing is easy but if you have your drifts down and put your time in you should be able to get into some nice fish. Most of the fish being reported are in the

Truckee River Fish Report

by MATT KOLES

A lot of water coming down the river right now. Pretty big flows today, 1,200 cfs here in the Hirsch, and of course higher the lower you go down the river. Not the best flows, kinda high, fish can be caught, but if you don’t know the river too well, if will be tough. I’m sure it will come back down in a few, but it
