Topaz Lake Fish Report

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS

Before Tuesday’s snow fishing had been good. Boaters were getting limits of trout in the 13 inch class with flashers/nightcrawlers or black/gold Rapalas in the top 10 feet of water. Nothing large. Shore anglers get just shy of limits with nightcrawlers or Power Bait. (775) 266-3550

The BWO's are out on the Truckee River and the fish are heathy and active

by MATT KOLES

Hard to believe it's already the middle of February and we haven't had a significant storm in over six weeks. I guess I shouldn't get to worried. We had a dry spell like this in 2010 and then look what happened. Next week we will get a good cold storm, we need it. Despite the lack of storms the Truckee River is still up, above

Fishing is good on the Truckee

by MATT KOLES

Despite the cold snap, fishing was good this weekend on the Truckee River. The winter window of fishing is open, mainly because the flows are stable. It's hard to say what's going to happen down the road. Looks like we are suppose to get hit with some storms by the middle to end of this month. Hopefully, they're cold storms and we continue to fish

Lake Tahoe Fish Report

Guide Rick Kennedy hit the lake last week and reported decent fishing for mackinaw on the east side of the lake in 30 feet of water, with the water temperature averaging 38 to 40 degrees.

Cold water at Pyramid Lake has caused most of the fish to move to deeper water

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

A long cold spell in the Reno area has the lake water temperatures down to around 41 degrees. This is usually about the coldest the lake gets in the winter. It is supposed to be a little warmer over the next week or so with sunny skies. The fishing at Pyramid is pretty average for this time of year. Cold water in December-January tends to

The Nevada section is the place to be fishing on the Truckee

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

We have had some warmer days over the past week. After dealing with ice in the river for most of January, we are seeing some much improved conditions now. The river is in great shape and the flows are perfect. The water is still cold but this time of year if you get a day when the sun comes out and the water warms up

Mid-winter fishing is happening right now on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Good mid-winter fishing is happening right now on the Truckee River. Feels like spring in the greater Truckee-Tahoe-Reno area. I would like to see some storms roll through. We need them. For now though, the window is open, and you should get out there. Flows, and weather are perfect for this time of year. Nympher's-worms, eggs, stones, baetis, and midges. Dry flyer's-midges, and baetis. Streamer's-good

Lake Tahoe Fish Report

Fishing is good to very good for mackinaw in the two to six pound range. Dodgers or flashers and minnows offered between 100 and 200 feet will get macks. Thermal springs off CalNeva Point, Dollar Point hold fish. Shallow toplining also produces macks. Cave Rock ramp is free and clear of ice. Gene St. Denis. Blue Ribbon Fishing (530) 544-6552

Decent winter style fishing has returned to the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

The negative-negative temps look like a thing of the past, at least for now, and fishing on the Truckee River has been good. Good is relative, hooking a few fish can be good, sometimes you hook more, but winter timey fish are usually pretty big. If you missed the winter clinics, there's always next year, but look out for my Spring Fling clinics sometime in

The Truckee River cold front has moved on

by MATT KOLES

Good to get back in the saddle again. Warmth has returned to the region, at least relative warmth, and the river is putting out some fish. We still have ice in the guides, but at least you can fish. Yesterday and today have been good. The class today was awesome. Hopefully it's a sign for the rest of 2013 on the Truckee River. I'll put

Fishing has been out of the question with -22 degree weather on the Truckee

by MATT KOLES

We've been in a deep freeze, Artic style. Not good if you're a fly angler in Truckee. Plumbers though have probably been killing it, racking in lots of overtime with all the broken pipes around town. This is the kind of cold where your car may or may not start, and if you run out of wood, or propane, you're basically screwed. Fishing, well that's

Pyramid Lake, NV Fish Report

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS

Shore anglers continue to score well, especially at Blockhouse and Wino. Flies with black, orange, yellow or red seem to do well. Green Flatfish and Camouflage spoons work for trollers. (775) 476-0400
