Western Nevada Fish Reports

The Truckee River is still the same at 80 cfs here in the Hirsch, and 100 cfs down below. We are in a winter type pattern fishing scenario. Things are going to get very, very cold next week, and honesty your best bet is to go fish Pyramid Lake, or the Little Truckee because it will be tough going on the main Truckee. We have

Bite remains decent, but far from great. Best fish last week was a 19.3 pounder caught from the shore at Pelican. Equal action from shore or boat. Top shore spots include Spider, Blockhouse, Pelican and Warrior. Boats do well on the north end of the lake, Warrior and Popcorn.

Squaw Creek Reservoir, located at the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant between Glen Rose and Granbury, Texas is a clear and deep reservoir. The reservoir serves as the cooling source for two nuclear power units, and due to the warm water generated by the power plant, it is a very popular destination for cold weather fishing. The lake’s surface area is approximately 3,200 acres,

It’s cold in the high desert of Western Nevada this November. Feels like the Pyramid Lake everyone remembers.  Reno got almost a foot of snow yesterday and the drive out to the lake was a bit sketch. They probably haven’t seen that much snow-that low since ’11. Low pressures keep rolling in from AK, and that’s what you want for good fly fishing at Pyramid Lake.

Bite has been on the slower side. Five fish larger than 10 pounds were weighed in last week. All but one came from shore. Three came from Pelican. Rough conditions have kept a lot of boats off the water. Crosby’s Lodge (775) 476-0400 GUIDES: George Molino 775-476-0555 Cutthroat charters; Joe Mendes Eagle Eye Charters – 775-574-0900

Above the 267 Bridge: No water coming out of Tahoe so there is no water in the river. See below for where you can fish the Truckee. Year round section (CA) below 267 Bridge. The Truckee river is starting to fish again as the nighttime temps have cooled the river temps are back into the 50’s… Flows have stabilized at around

Wind has been dying off in the afternoon. Big fish of the week was a 19.12 pound cutt caught from a boat. Seventeen cutts larger than 10 pounds were weighed in last week, most were via boat or tube. Catches were spread all over the lake, but the north end seems best. Jigs have been productive. Crosby’s Lodge (775) 476-0400 GUIDES: George Molino 775-476-0555 Cutthroat
