As we enter in the final few weeks at Pyramid we have seen the bite slow and the average size of the fish reduced

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

As we enter in the final few weeks at Pyramid we have seen the bite slow and the average size of the fish reduced. In another couple of weeks, the fish will finish up their spawn and move back into deeper water. Once this happens, the bite can be very good once again for those getting out on a boat, pontoon or float tube and

As of today, we are seeing the flows around Glenshire at 800+ CFS

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

As of today, we are seeing the flows around Glenshire at 800+ CFS, while the gauge at Farad is reading just under 1,000 CFS. The forecast is calling for typical spring temps of upper 50’s to low 60’s here in Truckee. We expect a slow, but continued ramp up of the flows on the river, which is ideal. Despite a great snowpack last year, the

The LCT are still chasing each other in shallow water

by RENO FLY SHOP

Not a lot of change out at the lake. The LCT are still chasing each other in shallow water. Fortunately, with this many fish in shallow water it is only a matter of time before one bites your fly. The naked technique (fishing a floating line without a bobber) has been the most effective with retrieving flies a close second. This time of year, with the fish

The Truckee River has fished well over the last week and is starting to see an increase in flow

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River has fished well over the last week and is starting to see an increase in flow. Warm spring temperatures are causing the snow at lower to mid elevations to melt. The Truckee has maintained a clarity of around 3-4’. Flows at the Reno gauge are hovering around 700-800 cfs but could rise or fall with air temperature over the coming days. Nymph fishing

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

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

Nice Mix of Trout

by ROBERT VARIK

Fishing has been solid with a good bite for above-average lake trout. There’s also a nice mix of brown trout, and an occasional rainbow trout showing up. We have openings for April trips! Check out the schedule online at TahoeTrophyTrout.com and book your spot to catch your Lake Tahoe trophy trout!

The East is running about 96 cfs right now and is fishing very well on all sections in Nevada

East Walker River (NV)

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

The East is running about 96 cfs right now and is fishing very well on all sections in Nevada. The Rosachi and Elbow (public) sections are fishing well with streamers, nymphs and some dry/dropper rigs as well. We’re getting lots of good reports from down there with most anglers reporting 5 to 15 fish per half day of fishing. It’s still a little cold in

Brown Trout and Lake Trout Action Heating up on Tahoe

by ROBERT VARIK

We had a strong start to the season with some nice action on Brown Trout. On the maiden voyage, we landed an impressive 8-pound Brown Trout, followed shortly by a 9-pound Lake Trout. Plenty of above-average Lake Trout are being caught, along with a few solid Brown Trout showing up as well. Overall, the bite is looking promising for early season fishing on the lake.

Truckee River Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

When fishing during spring runoff, people often see the river as being too large and hard to fish. While it’s true that the river is larger, it also makes the fishable areas smaller. This means that the areas that fish can hold in are fewer and it makes it easier to know where they may be. This evens the playing field. Think about sections of

The fishing has picked up over the last couple weeks

by DOUG BUSEY

The fishing has picked up over the last couple weeks. Mainly from Zephyr Cove to Sand Harbor. A few other areas have been off the Tahoe shelf. Trolling J plugs or a dodger and a live minnow. Raplas have also been productive from the Camp Rich area to Emerald bay. I recommend either the F11-F13 or a J11 rainbow or black and silver. Talking with

The lake has been fishing well midmorning to afternoons

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake has been fishing well midmorning to afternoons. Flashers and a worm or Rapalas have been most productive. Shore fishing has been slow to fair. Most anglers have been using powerbait or inflated nightcrawlers.

Fishing is heating up. Spring is great time to be on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

I think Winter is officially over. Ended up with right around average snowfall for the season. Good news for the Truckee River, now, and into next Fall. Fishing is heating up. Spring is great time to be on the Truckee River. Seeing skwala stones, some early caddis, blue wings, and waiting on the march browns. Nymph with the above. You may get lucky and get a good

It’s been an interesting few weeks since our last report

by RENO FLY SHOP

It’s been an interesting few weeks since our last report. We hit a high of 76° mid last week followed by a cold front that dropped snow on the valley floor. This has water temps going up and down which can impact the consistency of fishing. We are starting to see some signs of spawning behavior (I.e. shallow cruising fish, trout with fungus along their bodies)

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 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 water levels at Pyramid Lake are currently at 91% capacity

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

At Pyramid Lake, fishing has been slow for most anglers. Unless the storm door opens up, expect slow conditions. The water levels at Pyramid Lake are currently at 91% capacity.
