Lake Tahoe Fish Report

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS

Mackinaw bite has been yo-yoing between tough and bountiful. Some days it’s tough to scratch fish and some days there are a good number of three to six pound fish. A full moon and numerous earthquakes may have made conditions odd. Guide Gene St. Denis brought in a pair of 12 pound plus fish over the weekend. Toplining action has been similar. Gene St. Denis.

A Great Day of Jonesing and fishing on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Aged salami, beef jerky, IPA, 60 degree weather, and trout. That's living. Fred who was laid up from a skiing accident, jonesing, reading my blog for the last year, finally healed and came out to float the Truckee River with me on the East side yesterday. We did some damage. Fred put a little oil on the rusty casting arm and gave her hell. Good

The Nevada side of the Truckee are as good as it can get, the fish are full of piss & vinigar

by MATT KOLES

The last few days East of Reno on the Truckee River have been as good as I've seen it yet. These fish are full of piss and vinegar. Leave the toys at home. Bring a mans rod, a 6wt, and keep your tip up. Yesterday we put about 15 in the boat, good for the Truckee, and lost quite a few fish too. Fish are

Pyramid Lake, NV Fish Report

Fishing is good in Nevada & California on the Truckee

by MATT KOLES

We actually had two sunny nice days in row, a first it seems, and fishing is good in both states, on the Truckee River in California, and Nevada. Skwalas and b-dubs are out and about, making for some interesting dry fly fishing. Nymphing with the said patterns will produce fish. The streamer game is descent, if you stick at it, you'll get a few whacks.

Lake Tahoe Fish Report

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS

Mackinaw fishing is productive between storms. Limits weighing between three to eight pounds come from depths of 150 to 250 feet.

The fishing appears to be improving at Pyramid Lake (Nevada)

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

The hook, line and sinker tournament last week produced some really nice fish. There were at least 3 fish caught over 10 pounds (and hopefully released). The fishing seemed to improve overall the past week. The water is still too deep to wade out to the normal spots at most of the major beaches. This is probably going to be the case for the rest

We look for the weather to affect a slowing for fishing on the Truckee

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

The river has fished so well over the past couple of months that we have gotten spoiled. That could all change in the next week. We have gotten enough snow in the lower elevations to create some run-off. The next few days are supposed to be warm and the flows should start their spring Yo-Yo effect for a while. It is not going to be

Hinkson continues to fish great

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS

Anglers are catching fish on a variety of methods from both shore and from float tubes. Retrieving just about anything with an intermediate line will work but without a doubt the best fishing is under an indicator with Pyramid sized midges and nymphs.

The Truckee River is in perfect shape, despite the storms this week

by MATT KOLES

Last night it snowed and had no impact on river flows. Saturday's storm will be a one-day type of thing, it should snow, not rain, and won't impact river flows much, if at all. The winds though have been a bummer. My hands and face feel like an old saddle. The fishing is good. In Nevada, I'd rate it, four IPAs out of five. Pliny

The fishing is very good on the Truckee right now, Gilligan announces "Spring Clinic"

by MATT KOLES

The last two days have been very nice up here in Truckee-Reno on the Truckee River. The river is in great shape, and the fishing is very good for this time of year. A man could get Spring Fever. Water clarity is actually pretty good, a tad bit off color, but hell, I like it a bit off color. Anyway you want to shake a

Onion Reservoir is closed & will open the 2nd Saturday in June

Onion Valley Reservoir

Topaz Lake Fish Report

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS

Pressure is light but fishing has been good for those getting out. Anglers spending a half day get limits plus. Trout are averaging 14 inches. Trolling is the best way to go. Use Needlefish or Rapalas (black and gold, rainbow or perch) along the edges. Shoreline fishing is very slow because the wind is limiting casting. (775) 266-3550

Truckee River Fish Report, March 19, 2012

by MATT KOLES

I'm sure everyone in Tahoe today was shredding pow except for me, I guess. They had to get 6-7 feet up along the crest, all good, as we need it. Hirschdale, and farther East, except for Mt Rose, didn't get to much. We got about 6" inches here in the Hirsch. Access from Boca on down to Nevada is not an issue. The Truckee River

Lake Tahoe Fish Report

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS

Mackinaw fishing has been good around Dollar and Cal/Neva points. Many limits of 4 to 8 pound macs and a few in the 9 to 12 pound class have been coming in. Anglers fishing 150 to 250 feet of water have had the most success with a dodger blade followed by a live minnow. Top lining has been hot and cold, a few browns in

Topaz Lake Fish Report

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS

Weekend fishing was productive. Not a lot of big trout but stringers of 1.8 pound trout were common. Trolling with Needlefish is productive. Wind kicked up early in the week. Rain is expected by mid-week and wind is supposed to continue through the week. (775) 266-3550

Weather Report for the Truckee River fishing

by MATT KOLES

Things are actually pretty dry here on the East side, Hirschdale, and down below through Reno. The wind has been a bummer this week though, seems like it always is this time of year. The West side is getting pounded, rain and snow, or, everything West of Donner Summit. The Truckee River is in good shape, I'm surprised, I thought these storms would blow it
