After this next storm passes, we may begin to see a consistent shore bit

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The algae bloom last week has mostly broken up, and as this storm moves in and we pass the last full moon, we hope to see the shore fishing continue to improve. We have heard rumors that the fish are starting to transition into shallower water with some regularity. After this next storm passes, we may begin to see a consistent shore bite. Until then,

The cold weather this week has made the water temps drop on the river

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The cold weather this week has made the water temps drop on the river, and we are now seeing them in the 48-54 degree range at the Farad gauge. This will certainly begin to move the fish into slower water and make them more active in the afternoons. The great thing about this time of year is we have the luxury of sleeping in, and

Most of the fish are being caught near the 70-foot mark feeding on chubs

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

At Pyramid Lake, most of the recent algae bloom has broken up with the heavy winds that came through this past weekend. There may be a few scattered patches that are tough to fish, but overall, the water clarity is much better. Most of the fish are being caught near the 70-foot mark feeding on chubs. The shallow water bite can be hit or miss.

Excellent fall weather the Truckee has been experiencing

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Water Conditions The Truckee River is currently offering excellent, fall fishing conditions. With water temperatures between 56 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit, the fish are active during any part of the day. While the flows in the upper river might be low, they gain momentum significantly at the Boca Confluence. With cloudy skies and cooler weather, now is the ideal time to get out and enjoy the

Angler Report: Pyramid Lake

by FISH REPORTS STAFF

Sam checked in with us from a recent trip to Pyramid Lake. Here is his report: "Made my first boat trip to Pyramid on Monday, the 14th. What a blast. Put in water at around 745 and had my first fish just after 8, a beautiful 13.5 pound cutthroat. We stayed out until 11 and we wound up with 6 fish.The last fish was caught by

Finally Some Cold Weather for the Truckee!

by MATT KOLES

Finally some cold weather for the Truckee River. Was a hot ass early fall. Now that we have some more typical fall weather, we can actually do some fall fishing. Meaning, you can target different types of water, and use different approaches. It's below freezing at night, at least on the Ca side, so starting really early may not be best. Look for fish in softer water

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid Lake has been dealing with a significant algae bloom over the last week or so, which has particularly effected the north end of the lake. This is a bit strange for this time of year, as this is usually a problem seen in lakes during the summer months, but given how warm this October has been, it makes sense. We hope with the colder

The Truckee is in prime shape in the canyon section of the river

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee is in prime shape in the canyon section of the river. The Glenshire area remains low but is still fishing well all things considered. With the first snow of the year in town, we expect the last remaining grasshoppers to be just about done for the year going forward. The use of dry droppers up here will now be limited to October Caddis,

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

Pyramid Lake The larger Lahontan Cutthroat Trout are still on the deeper side, though the surface temps are cooling nicely, and shore fishing is picking up. The prolonged warm summer into fall has created an algae bloom that covers a lot of the lake’s surface. These blooms are sometimes representative that the lake has flipped, but other times it is just a bloom. We are

Autumn is definitely here!

by RENO FLY SHOP

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).

At Pyramid Lake, the action has been good for anglers trolling in 55 to 90 feet of water

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

At Pyramid Lake, the action has been good for anglers trolling in 55 to 90 feet of water. Anglers trolling are having success with U-20 flatfish, F-18 Rapalas, Mag Lip 3.5, Speedy Shiners, Coyote Spoons, or one-and-a-half-ounce Sierra Spoons. There still isn’t much of a shore bite to report at Pyramid Lake. Most of the smaller fish are found up in the northern parts of

With winter on its way soon, some of the brown trout are currently showing pre-spawn aggression

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Water Conditions Anglers fishing on the Truckee River this week can expect similar flows and conditions as last week. Water temperatures have cooled down to around 58 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit, creating comfortable conditions for the fish to actively feed and fatten up before winter. With winter on its way soon, some of the brown trout are currently showing pre-spawn aggression in the Truckee River. Cooler

Season has begun and it's been great

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

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

Exceptional Time of Year on the Truckee!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

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

Cooler Weather Maybe Will Cause Hotter Fishing

by MATT KOLES

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

2024 PYRAMID LAKE OPENER

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

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

The Opener was on Tuesday, and water temps have been high

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Opener was on Tuesday, and water temps have been high. At noon, surface temperatures were at 71°. This is keeping the LCT below 60 feet in most cases with several fish being marked at 20′-30′ with a Garmin Striker Cast with a few fish caught from shore in the early morning hours stripping baitfish, Pyramid Lake Bugger and Tui Chub. Bait balls are present

Flows are changing a bit

by RENO FLY SHOP

Flows are changing a bit. We’re looking at 275 CFS through the downtown gauge. Flows may fluctuate a bit as diversions and ditches begin to shut off in our area. Water temps are perfect and holding in the mid 60sF to mid 50sF. Fish have been feeding on small flies (#18-#20), BH Zebra Midge and Hot Butt, with a few fish still on crayfish patterns, Mini

Active Fish, Good Flows, and Comfortable Conditions!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

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
