Carson River Fishing Report

East Carson River (NV)

by LIZ WEIRAUCH

NDOW stocked it this week for an event, and either the water took a very hard turn in warmth and were inable to find a cool hidey hole or they were shocked due to the tank/vs river water temp, and we've got some dead fish floating near the bridge. Nice flows, and clear. Being clear, start being a little more sneaky (yes,

Spooner Lake Fishing Report

Spooner Lake

A PERSONAL NOTE: catch a chub, KILL IT.. This lake has become so over populated with chub, that the trout there are competing for food. Damsels, zebra midges, copper johns, PT's buggers in white, olive, zug bugs, princes. If you see lips: Para Adams, Trico. Just want to catch ANY fish (chub) use a zug bug... it's a guarenteed take

Lake Tahoe Fishing Report

Lake Tahoe

by DOUG BUSEY

Fishing has been very good for anglers that get on the water before the sun rises. As soon as the sun touches the water the fishing slows down. Mackinaws have been coming in on the north end of the lake just east of Tahoe City. Start on the drop offs in 110 feet of water and move out as the sun starts to rise. Flashers

Marlette Lake Fish Report

Marlette Lake

by RENO FLY SHOP

Marlette opened on the 15th of this month, and is fishing well from reports we have gotten at the shop.. Crowds have been minimal. Chironomids under a slip indicator have worked well as well as small streamer patterns with a suppleflex leader on a Type II-IV line. As with most high elevation lakes food sources are scarce so fish are willing to take a variety

Truckee River Fish Report

Truckee River

by RENO FLY SHOP

Flows on the river have returned to seasonal averages as water is sent from Boca down the system. The gauge at Downtown Reno fluctuates from 238-290 cfc throughout the day. This consistency in flows should trigger some nice hatches, specifically caddis, as the water temperature rises throughout the next month. Be aware of fish health and safety as water above 68 degrees can be lethal

Truckee River Update

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Summers rolling right along. Good flows on the Truckee River and Little Truckee River, warm weather, and good consistent fishing. Looks like we’ll have another heat wave to get through and than maybe a monsoonal flow, thunderstorms next week, something we have not had so far this summer. Flows are good, something we have not had in two years and the fish and the fishing are great.
