Truckee River Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River also changed since our last report. The storm last weekend cooled wanter temps off significantly and seemingly had the fish move to slower water. We were finding them but mostly in slower edges and a bit deeper than last week. The trend has the water warming and we believe this will continue with warmer air temps. Looking forward at the weather forecast we

Pyramid Lake has benefited from the last few winters and the water conditions at the lake are great

by PYRAMID LAKE FLY FISHING

The latest storm that passed through the area left a bunch of snow. Our late season storm track has finally put the Sierra snowpack over 100%. The weather is about to take a monster turn towards spring and some really warm weather is going to melt this snow pretty fast. The area streams will most likely be blown out for a bit now. Keep an

We are seeing a lot of fish school up in shallow water

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

While we are seeing a lot of fish school up in shallow water and become mostly lock-jawed as they head into spawn, this week’s storm has turned the bite back on for a few short days. Conditions earlier this week were fantastic. We would bet dollars to doughnuts that the warm days expected early next week will slow this bite to a near crawl and

The Truckee continued to fish well through this last storm

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee continued to fish well through this last storm and we expect it to stay that way for the near future. This last late-season storm is great to see, helping bolster our late season snowpack and will only help the cause for those imminent hot mid-summer days. Once we see some consistently warm weather, the run off should be quick to follow and the

The lake continues to fish well

by THE FLY SHOP

The lake continues to fish well and should be a good place to get a good chance at a large dinosaur trout. Windy conditions can have the fish stack up, keep your head on a swivel for the best locations to target the school. Indicator nymphing with Balanced Leeches and Chironomids are producing the most consistent right now, but stripping Popcorn Beetles, Midnight Cowboys, or

The East is running at about 75 cfs today

East Walker River (NV)

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

The East is running at about 75 cfs today, the flows have been fluctuating quite a bit lately but so far most of the changes up and down have not been too significant. The fishing is still doing very well with most days anglers reporting having 10 to 20 fish days, it seems as though there has been a couple poor days over the last

The lake has not risen over the last week or so

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake has not risen over the last week or so. The boat launch at Douglas Park is open with all three ramps in. The fish cleaning station is open, but the water is not on yet. I counted 26 boats on the water last Sunday at 9am. By 12 pm there were only a handful still fishing. Those anglers reaped the benefits when the

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The bite at Pyramid has been pretty hot and cold recently. The overcast and windy days are still providing some steady action for both the indicator or when stripping. On sunny days there is a lot of time spent between bites, which can still be a lot of fun as long as you’ve surrounded yourself with good company! We are seeing a good number of

The past week of fishing on the Truckee was excellent

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The past week of fishing on the Truckee was excellent. We were fishing in sun hoodies and casting all the way until dark comfortably. Needless to say, this really made us look forward to the coming months. The water stayed mostly clear even though Truckee hit the mid-60’s and Reno in the low-70’s. As expected, we saw a good smattering of skwalas along the entire

The fishing should continue to remain steady as we move into early April

by THE FLY SHOP

Our own Joel Crandall reports a lot of fish and some Large Sarges were caught yesterday. Pick your favorite beach and be ready for an opportunity at a high-teen to 20lber. Indicator nymphing with Balanced Leeches and Chironomids are producing the most consistent right now, but stripping Popcorn Beetles, Midnight Cowboys, or Pyramid Minnows will produce if you are willing to put in the time

Spring is over for another 2 weeks, ugh. Good news is the fishing will be awesome.

by MATT KOLES

Spring is over for another 2 weeks, ugh. Good news is the fishing will be awesome. Spring sprung on the Truckee River. Looks like Winter will return for a bit though. We should get some great mid-day dry fly fishing. Blue wings and march browns should pop good on cloudy days. The march browns can get some good fish on the surface. The streamer fishing will be

March out here is considered one of the best months for fishing

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

March out here is considered one of the best months for fishing. Last year that may not have been the case, this March has certainly not disappointed. If you are planning a trip out here, your choice of the day can be just as important as your fly selection. Look for overcast and wind speeds of 10-20 MPH, ideally with a south wind. The full

The Truckee River is in great shape this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee River is in great shape this week, it’s running clear with great flows. Both the bugs and the fish are active right now. These are the pre-runoff conditions we always look forward to every year. The air temps are expected to get into the 60’s in town this week leading the forecast for fishing to be incredibly promising over the next week or

We have had a lot of snow and colder temperatures recently

by RENO FLY SHOP

We have had a lot of snow and colder temperatures recently. This has dropped the lake surface temps from near 50 degrees down to the mid 40’s. This can sometimes shock the fish or make them a little more sluggish. I know a change of 4-5 degrees may not seem like a lot, but for trout this is enough of a change to alter their

The river is in great shape and is fishing well

by RENO FLY SHOP

The river is in great shape and is fishing well. Flows at Reno gauge are hovering around 500cfs. Earlier in the week a storm moved through the area and raised flows a bit. This storm added color to the water and gave it a nice green tint. A large selection of insects are active right now with a daily mix of Blue Winged Olives and midges.

The fishing continues to be solid at the salty pond, with good numbers of fish cruising the shorelines

by THE FLY SHOP

The fishing continues to be solid at the salty pond, with good numbers of fish cruising the shorelines. Pick your favorite beach and be ready for an opportunity at a high-teen to 20lber. There have been significantly more big fish caught this season than last. Indicator nymphing with Balanced Leeches and Chironomids are producing the most consistent right now, but stripping Popcorn Beetles, Midnight Cowboys,

The lake is fishing great

by PYRAMID LAKE FLY FISHING

The lake is fishing great. Way better than the last two springs so far. Let’s see if it holds out. The fish are really spread out. The water at the hatchery is not running and there is no reason for the fish to pile up at the Nets beaches. The good news is you can catch fish in places that are not crowded. Stripping Northern

The East is still fishing very well on the Nevada side

East Walker River (NV)

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

The East is still fishing very well on the Nevada side, we’re still getting good reports almost daily from down there.

There are some stoneflies hatching now, depending on
