There were some Brown Trout mixed in, providing even more variety to the catch. For those looking to get in on the action, Tahoe Trophy Trout offers guided fishing trips with experienced Captain Rob.

Pyramid Lake has continued to fish better than previous years

by RENO FLY SHOP

Pyramid Lake has continued to fish better than previous years with the cool temperatures in the air and water. The anticipated spawn is in full effect and fish are cruising shallow areas by the hundreds. While not every cruising fish will feed during this time, the ones that do make for consistent fishing through all types of weather conditions. The strip bite has been most effective

Truckee River Conditions Update

by RENO FLY SHOP

While the Truckee River has run at high flows over the last week, it has continued to fish well for those venturing out. The storm this week has cooled off the entire region and has resulted in a drop in flows on the Truckee River. As of this writing, flows are 2700 cfs at the Reno gauge. This is great news for anglers going into

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The overcast days have improved the fishing on the lake, with fish a bit less on edge and more willing to chase streamers. The midge bite has slowed down will cooler air temps, and using streamers will be a great way to find fish this week. While the fish are beginning to finish up their spawn, you may still find a few attempting to make

Truckee River Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The river continues to fish well for those getting out right now, and with see mingly tough conditions, the crowds have been light for this time of year and fishing pressure is low. The high-water tactics of fishing pockets of slow water using attractor nymphs or streamers has been the most productive method and both indicators or tight lining will be the best way to

14 3/4 lb. Laker

by MIKE NIELSEN

One interesting catch we had today. Nice 14 3/4 lb laker we c/ r. Action has been definitely up n down and each day a different strategy but we have seen and experienced this over our 27 seasons past Guiding. We’re getting mixed bags most days and it’s been literally incredible weather. Hard to think just 4 weeks ago we were in a roof shoveling panic to avoid

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

As we reach the height of the spawn at Pyramid Lake, expect to see a lot of fish, but only catch a few. This time can not only be frustrating for the angler, but we can’t feel like the fish aren’t too happy about being targeted at this time either. Our recommendation would be to give this fishery a break over the next few weeks and

Truckee River Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee has been seeing steadily increasing flows this week, and while the flows may “yo-yo” daily, the overall trajectory is up. The water has remained off color and in the canyon section near the Nevada border, we wouldn’t necessarily call it blown out, but fishing here is more challenging than normal, and in general, it isn’t easy. As you head up the system the

Pyramid has been fishing pretty fair again this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid has been fishing pretty fair again this week, and while the fish are certainly showing signs of entering spawn, there are still quite a few fish still feeding aggressively. On warmer days the midge bite has been great, with great activity in the morning, a lull mid morning, and again kicking up again after noon. The colder days have made for better days to

Things have changed quite a bit on the Truckee over the last week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Things have changed quite a bit on the Truckee over the last week. The colder weather has slowed the runoff, the flows have dropped and the water has cleared up nicely to a “steelhead green” along most sections of the river. The Glenshire area has dropped from 1,000 CFS on Monday to 700 CFS as of today. We have had a few reports of some

Striper anglers reported a fair bite on cut anchovies and
