Western Nevada Fish Reports

Gene St. Denis: When I fish there, I've been 50-200 feet deep at Ski Run Shelf and Camp Richardson. Trolling with silver Herring Dodger flasher blades and minnows, and bouncing off the bottom in a serpentine pattern. Macks are small, 2-7 pounds. ?Į

Gene St. Denis of Blue Ribbon Charters and Tahoe Trophy Trout at South Lake Tahoe, Calif. (530-544-6552): Fishing has been good to excellent. We have been trolling 100-200 feet deep.

Jim Hartfiel of Just Rite Fishing at Pyramid Lake at (775) 575-7850 (home) or (775) 813-3411 (Cell): Saturday, it was so cold, you could not believe it. We trolled 12 feet down in 20 feet of water. In our 4-hour trip, we caught and released 12 fish on Apex lures. Sunday was slower. We got 5 fish in 3 hours but nothing big.

Chris and Jeri Grellman of Sparks of Hog Charters (358-5199): Saturday was "Yucky." It was cold and windy and we did not go out.

Tim Wilson of the Pyramid Lake Marina and RV Park at (775) 476-1156: Fishing is getting better with the colder weather. The fish are scattered and the fishermen are catching them all over the lake. The south end is still hot.

George and Carla Molino of the Pyramid Lake Store at (775) 476-0555: The weather is cold but the fishing has been good. Most people are happy but there have been few fishermen. Frog-colored lures have been working the best. George (Cutthroat Charters) got out Saturday. They caught and released about a dozen fish, up to 24 inches.

Valerie, Linda and Patsy at Crosby's Lodge at (775) 476-0400: It has been a pretty good week. We had a 12-pound, 12-ounce Cutt (31 inches) caught on a frog-colored Flatfish lure at the Blockhouse. It was caught by Nick Eastwood but I don't know where he is from. We also had a 10, a 9, two 7's and two 5-pounders turned in. They are catching

Todd Sodaro and Chad Machado of the Carson River Resort (877-694-2229): It is 6 degrees (Monday morning) and I've got a massive wood-burning stove going. The trophy section is clear, cold and slow.

East Carson River Trophy Section: The Trophy Section of the East Carson River, from Hangman's Bridge downstream to the Nevada stateline, is now open, year round, with special restrictions.

Norm Budden, Marty Martinez and Bob McCulloch of Carson City fished mid-week, last week, in their chest waders at the far south end of the lake. McCulloch caught and released 12 cutthroat (his largest was 3-pounds, 4-ounces) (26 inches), Budden caught and released 11, and Martinez got skunked, again. They were using various colored TOR-P-DO lures. ?Į

FLOWS @BOCA 313cfs @FARAD 327 CFS @RENO 262 Fishing on the Truckee has slowed down a bit with recent storm activity but the river is still putting out some nice fish. You'll need to fish slower water to get the best shot at fish that have slowed down their feeding activity while water temperatures are cooler. Fish areas that have a little bit of current flow
