The storm put a nice bit of color in the water and stirred things up a bit

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The river came up about 300 CFS along various sections of the river during the peak of last week’s rain, and has since begun to taper off. This didn’t make the river “blown out” but rather put a nice bit of color in the water and stirred things up a bit. This will make the larger bugs like worms, eggs and stones increasingly effective over

It is Pyramid Lake season, and it is fully underway!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

There is plenty of cloud cover in the forecast for next week at Pyramid. Cloud cover is generally a good thing. It can often lead to fish feeding in shallow water or closer to the surface. With what’s in the forecast for next week, any day could be a great one. But, if there’s one thing we know about Pyramid Lake, it’s that the bite

Fishing the river has been challenging lately, but always rewarding

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

If you’re looking for the aforementioned challenge and inspiration, the Truckee River is full of it right now. Fishing the river has been challenging lately, but always rewarding. The cold weather has fully settled in, and the snow is sticking to the mountains and ridgelines above the river. The banks are still largely snow free throughout most of the canyon, but the air temperature is

While bites have been somewhat scarce, the size and quality of Lahontan Cutthroat has been outstanding

by RENO FLY SHOP

Fly fishing in the first half of December has been rewarding for those willing to put in their time. While bites have been somewhat scarce, the size and quality of Lahontan Cutthroat has been outstanding. This is the time of year where it is seemingly harder to catch a smaller fish than a big fish (but catching any fish can be difficult). Lahontan Cutthroat have already

This time of year is about finding quality over quantity of trout

by RENO FLY SHOP

The first part of December on the Truckee River has fished well for how cold water temperatures have been. If your catch rate has slowed from this Fall to worry. This time of year is about finding quality over quantity of trout. Beyond the water temperatures dipping below 40 degrees, the noticeable change over the last few weeks is the migration of trout into slower

Rolling through Winter on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

No snow yet. I think everyone’s wondering when Winter will start. It’s been cold, but lack of precip gets everyone a little on edge. I don’t think anyone wants a repeat of last year, but we do need a snowpack. Flows are darn good though. Fishing is hit and miss like it usually is in Winter. Warmer overcast days are best, but there’s usually a timeframe,

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Fishing on the lake has slowed a bit this week, but the storm that pushed through yesterday should hopefully help the cause, at least for the short term. December can typically be considered a hit-or-miss month by the avid Pyramid angler. The fish will be in close feeding aggressively one day and nonexistent the next. However, one thing we do enjoy about Pyramid in December

These small storms over the last week have done little to change conditions on the Truckee

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

These small storms over the last week have done little to change conditions on the Truckee in regards to water flows and temps. Touching upon my opening paragraph from this weeks report, one thing that I have learned in my years of trout fishing is these fish like consistency, so we expect fishing to remain fair, especially as the air temps rise early next week.

The lake level is still up and the water is mostly clear

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake level is still up and the water is mostly clear. I fished this week for a few hours and ran into a little green slime on the North end. Nothing to mess up your line or get stuck in your prop. I fished from 9am to about 130pm. I boated 9 catchable rainbows and kept one in the 3 lb range. Most of

East Walker River (NV)

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

The East Walker on the California side of the state line is closed until April 27. 2024. The Nevada side of the river is open through the Winter. We’ve had a few reports from the Rosachi section in Nevada and the fishing has been pretty good, mostly with small midge patterns. The flow is at about 20 cfs which is normal for the Winter but

Winter is here and the river is fishing well

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Winter is here and the river is fishing well. You can really tell when winter fishing is in full swing when we get a lot of reports of white fish being caught. It seems they almost disappear during the summertime, but reappear during winter. They are just a blast to catch and are a true native species to the Truckee. Flows have remained steady and

15 lb. Laker

Finch got himself a big fish today!! Nice job 15#

Flows are big for this time of year

by MATT KOLES

Bit warmer, and feeling much more like El Niño on the Truckee River We got out of the early morning teens, East winds stopped blowing, and kinda mild rainy’ish type weather. Good for Winter fly fishing on the Truckee River. Flows are big for this time of year. About 450 cfs here in Hirschdale, and around 550 cfs out East in Nevada on the lower river. Great

Bobber fishing out fished the strip bite again this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

While fishing on the Truckee slows as the temp’s plummet, Pyramid Lake is seeing the opposite effect and the colder days have caused the bite to really pick up. These stormy, overcast days will keep fish in close to the drop offs all day, keeping rods bent with more consistency. Bobber fishing out fished the strip bite again this week, especially around mid-day. Low light

Flows remain stable on the Truckee

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

While flows remain stable on the Truckee, the water temps have dropped this week, pushing fish into slow runs. The trout will be a bit less willing to move on your flies this week, and you will need to really bump them in the nose to get some love. This is a great time to begin fishing a high protein meal such as a worm

Shore Bite is On!

by BEARFISH ALLIANCE STAFF

Been a little while since we have thrown up a fish report, but if you need to keep up on regular reports go on over to www.pyramidflyco.com to keep current. Bite has been steady from the shoreline, and you will find the fish prowling anywhere from 8ft and down....you might even find a few as short as six feet, but those have generally been Cutties

December Brings The Cold, Our Team Brings The Heat

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

Well, it’s easy to exaggerate when it comes to fishing. I mean, that is the everlasting stigma that has been attached to all fisherman types by society. Whereas this may be true for most of the fishing world, here at Pyramid Fly Co. there is no exaggeration when it comes to what we put on the table. We fish for the largest cutthroat trout in

A Wave of Emotion

by ROBYN GERSTENSLAGER

Banner day for one biologist, population of Lahontan cutthroat trout provides hope, but more ‘tenacity’ needed to recover species Even over a year later, tears well up in his eyes when he talks about it. The “wave of emotion,” as he describes it, is understandable given that the moment was 15 years in the making. “Even last summer when I took my son and his friend

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by PYRAMID LAKE FLY FISHING

The lake has been fishing really well. This time of year is usually predictable and this season holds true. The days and nights are cold, the air is dry, and we are experiencing normal weather for November and early December. The days are really short right now. It gets light around 7:00 am and dark by 5:00 pm. The best time to fish this time
