Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

As is true with most January’s, indicator fishing has been the most effective way to target the LCT. The trout have been moving a lot recently making them a little harder to pin down, and they may not be where you have been fishing the last few weeks, at least not in great numbers. I’ve been targeting beaches with a drop off around 11-14 feet,

The Truckee River has fished well in the last few weeks

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River has fished well in the last few weeks as flows have stabilized after a storm in late December. With clear skies and moderate weather in the forecast, we expect to see good fishing conditions continue. The annual hatch of Blue Winged Olives should begin any day now as we patiently wait. Nymph fishing has been productive throughout the river with many anglers focusing

Best fishing we have seen out here

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

We have finally seen Pyramid slow down after 2+ months of some of the best fishing we have seen out here. While this is probably from multiple factors, the big ones would likely be due to the time of year and the lack of weather. Is there still a chance of having an epic day of catching out here this week? Absolutely, but odds are

Great conditions on the river right now

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

We are seeing great conditions on the river right now, with ideal flows along most sections, water temps in the low 40’s to upper 30’s and active fish. Here in town, we are continuing to see good shots at dry fly fishing around Glenshire Drive using baetis and midges mid-day, as well as good nymphing when hatches aren’t present. The canyon section of the Truckee will have

First report of 2025 on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

First report of 2025 on the Truckee River. Been doing this blog since about 2007? I don't know where all the years have gone. The Truckee River is in great shape, mid-Winter. Pretty much snow free all up and down the river. We've had a lot of warm storms, as it's only been snowing high, not river level. Same old same, nymph 'em, streamer fish 'em on

Topaz Lake Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY

This was the first time in 30 years, I could not attend the New Years celebration. I did talk with a couple anglers that enjoyed the day. They told me the water level was down about 10 feet from last year. Which is nice because it gave them some real estate on the east side to camp on. They caught 7 nice rainbows all about

Pyramid has continued to fish well!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid has continued to fish well, mostly on days with any weather. The sunny, windless days expected this week may very well make the bite tough, but there are still ways to get some eats during this time. Often when the sun is high and the lake is glass, we look for beaches with greater drop offs and set our flies deep, to the tune of

Truckee River Fishing Report & Forecast

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The flows on the Truckee have stabilized after last week’s rain and are currently sitting at 200 CFS around Glenshire, and 400 CFS at Farad. We would consider these flows ideal, being slightly above average for this time of year. Along the upper river, we are finding good fishing using light nymph setups, with 2 smaller flies, a bit of split shot and a 1/2” to

Fishing Report December 2024

by PYRAMID LAKE FLY FISHING

The lake has spit out some of the biggest fish we have seen since the restocking of the Pilot Peak Strain was re-introduced in 2006. Lots of fish in the 20 pound class have found a net the last couple months. We are not sure why the fishing is so much better now than the last couple years at the same time but we don’t

Lots of rain and snow for the Truckee!

by MATT KOLES

Lots of rain and snow for the Truckee River. Warm storms, so not any snow down here in Hirschdale, all rain, and the river is free from snow just about everywhere. Flows have come up, but will drop back down in a few days. Winter fishing should be very good. When the waters a bit milky, streamers, worms, and that shit should be your choice. The weathers

The fishing continues to be solid

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 midges are producing the most consistent right now, but stripping Popcorn Beetles, Midnight Cowboys,

Pyramid continues to fish very well in what most consider to be one of the slower months of the season for the lake

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid continues to fish very well in what most consider to be one of the slower months of the season for the lake. The series of stormy days last week have kept the bite good most days and along most beaches. Looking forward, the clear and cold days ahead may prove to slow things down in the short term. We happened to go out on one

Truckee River Fihing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

This storm has done very little to change the conditions on the river, both here on the California side as well as the Nevada side. The flows came up just a tad along most of the Truckee, but we have already seen this begin to taper off. As predicted in last week’s report the water temps came up a few degrees, but likely will drop again

The fall of 2024 has been the best we’ve ever seen

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

After another epic week out here, we are going to call it.. The fall of 2024 has been the best we’ve ever seen. If there’s anyone who is reading this that has yet to experience this lake or just hasn’t made it out yet this year, all we can say is; you’re missing out. While in some ways fishing out here is pretty straight forward, it’s

The Truckee River fished great this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee River fished great this week during the sunny days and warmer air temps. For nymph fishing, the name of the game has been going small on your dropper fly, down to a size 18-20 in most cases. With the storm rolling in, expect the fish to switch gears on their preferences, especially when the water begins to gain some color. Stoneflies, worms, eggs and

Topaz Lake: Angler Report

by FISH REPORTS STAFF

Sam checked in with a new report from Topaz Lake. He was fishing on Friday the 13th and got out in the morning before the wind picked up. It was a nice day, with 7 fish landed, the largest weighing 3.4 pounds. He trolled Rapalas in hot steel and black/ gold colors, which were producing well. Eagles were also spotted in the area.

Finally getting some snow in Tahoe

by MATT KOLES

Finally getting some snow in Tahoe It's stacked up for mid-December. Not much down here in Hirschdale, but we usually don't get too much anyways. Flows are still great on the Truckee River, and the Winter fly fishing is good. Good all up and down the river. If you fish the Ca side, remember, lows will be very cold at night. You should wait till it warms
