Western Nevada Fish Reports

Truckee River Autumn is definitely here! Changing leaves and early morning brisk temperatures have taken hold. Brown trout are starting to clean off shallow gravel areas in preparation for their Fall spawn. We haven’t seen any active spawning just yet, but they are becoming more territorial and beginning to concentrate into groups. Streamers and crayfish patterns have been working well combined with small nymphs (#16-#20).

Oct 1 “Opener” came and didn’t disappoint. When a 10 pounder only received a semi smile/shrug that tells you something. THE BIG BOYS AND GIRLS WERE EATING GOOD !!! This could of been the best opener in some years. We gave most of our guides at Pyramid Fly Co opening day off so they could pre fish for their busy weeks ahead. The PFC Team enjoyed

This weeks On The Water Report from the Truckee River with Aden Breckner. There are lots of places to fish right now and fall is in full swing. Swing by the shop and get some flies to have a great day on the water. Flies we suggest for the Truckee River: BH Zebra Midge, Hot Butt, black Perdigon, EC Caddis, Hair Wing PMD, French Nymph, Weiss UV Jig, OCD Caddis, Jigged PT Flies we suggest for the

This is an exceptional time of year to find some of the best trout fishing on this river. In our opinion the months of October and November are only rivaled by prime months such as March or June in terms of the quality of fishing here on the Truckee. Fall provides some of the best fishing of the year, so long as we have the

The heat may finally be leaving. A little cooler starting now. Maybe that'll get the fishing a little hotter on the Truckee River.  Been a hot September, and early October. That, and the with the lower flows, fishing hasn't been easy. Hopefully now we can jumpstart into some good fall fishing.  I've been all up and sown the river. Well, from Boca, down to out East into

The weather in North Western Nevada has been just spectacular. Really warm days coupled with cool nights has made near perfect conditions for the opening week. A bit of wind in the forecast, but that is to be expected from time to time. This time of year we are on board Watermaster’s, so exposure to the elements is at a maximum. Layer up lightly, hoodies

We have seen a slight decrease in flows in the canyon section of the Truckee this week with the Farad gauging station dropping from 475 CFS to 400 as of today due to flows tapering off out of both Prosser and Boca. This is not a very drastic decrease and shouldn’t change conditions much. It will allow anglers to be able to cross the river

We’ve been taking care of business in a big way to start this season! These fish are being some gluttonous freaks and there’s plenty to go around! We have seen two incredible days of giant fish so far. We have openings available for October 10-11. Call us and join in on this epic season opener while you can!

Mike shared his catch from Pyramid Lake: he was trolling the south end of the lake today and caught a 14-pound fish (calculated weight is 15 pounds). It hit on the downrigger at 60 feet using a Lyman in frog color.

Hot weather here on the Truckee River.  Somewhat cold at night and hot during the day, but a pretty early fall heat wave happening.  So, don't look for any dry fly fishing, ain't happening, streamer fishing, nada. Bright sun means you're nymphing-unless the weather the changes. Flows are still pretty average for fall. Good wading flows. Not too high or nothing.  The fishing is all right. Not the greatest,

Pyramid Lake's season runs from October 1st until June 30th. 2024 2025 season is looking good for boat trips expect a good October bite. Bait fish are in large numbers fish should have packed on the pounds over the summer

The Truckee has been increasingly kicking out more quality fish daily. While we would love to see a bit more of the drizzly, overcast weather typical of this time of year, the fish are still very much on the chew and the 80-degree days expected all week will sure be nice for the fisher, while keeping the bite consistent. You can even still comfortably wet

Davis Park is currently closed due to the recent fire.
