Pyramid continues to fish well this week

by TROUT CREEK FLIES STAFF

Pyramid continues to fish well this week, with some exceptional fishing found on overcast days. Keeping an eye on weather patterns out here is the best way to consistently up your odds right now. With the small storms expected to pass through this week, the river may slow down a bit, but the lake should be great, so plan accordingly! The bite has begun to

The Truckee River continues to fish well with the warmer weather

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River continues to fish well with the warmer weather. While water temperatures are still below 40F most days, there certainly is an opportunity to catch a few wild rainbow or brown trout midday. Bug activity will increase during warmer times, so fish activity almost always follows. Trout are in their winter haunts now- meaning you’ll want to target the slow and deep water

The Truckee River has been fishing very well over the last week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee River has been fishing very well over the last week mostly due to the warmer days bringing water temps up and making fish increasingly active. With the continued low and clear water conditions here in Truckee, we are finding success on small baetis nymphs in sizes 18-20 as well as midges in size 20-22, paired with a worm pattern as an attractor. Focus on

The storms have rolled out and the big fish are moving in

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

We survived the onslaught of storms that hit us in January, and we are reaping the benefits in the form of trout filled nets. The inversion layers have lifted and have allowed slightly warmer temps to activate the fish into a bit of a feeding frenzy. Those warmer temps help increase the metabolism of the these pre-spawn cutthroat, and also stimulate bug hatches during certain

Another good round of snow for the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Another good round of snow for the Truckee River. First good snow in a few weeks. That deep cold we were in seems to be gone. Gonna warm up this week and the fishing should be pretty good. 40’s in Truckee ain’t bad. Been still waiting on the bugs down on the Nevada side. It has to get going this week. Should be warm, and with some

Rosachi section is very snowy/slushy

East Walker River (NV)

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

The East Walker on the California side is currently closed, opening day will be April 29, 2023. We haven’t heard anything from the Nevada side lately but if/when we do we’ll let you know. There’s a ton of snow in the area this year, it sounds like the East Walker River Road that takes you to the Rosachi section is very snowy/slushy and there have been

We are now in the prime months to be shore fishing out here

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The bite at Pyramid seemed to be less affected than the river by the air temps this week as we continue to see pretty consistent fishing out here. With the storm moving through this weekend, we should have some great days with a steady bite window most of the day and as the days get sunnier and warmer beginning next week, expect the mornings and

The water along most of the system right now is cold and clear

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The slow days spent on the river weren’t all for naught this week. As I continue to explore the different sections of this amazing river system, I found some great looking new sections of river previously unknown. Although they might not have yielded fish this go-around, I’m very excited to head back to this newfound area when conditions change. That’s a big part of why

Fly fishing at Pyramid Lake has been hot following the string of storms

by RENO FLY SHOP

Fly fishing at Pyramid Lake has been hot following the string of storms that hit the region through mid January. With weather conditions shifting now towards sunny days, the effective tactics have shifted a bit. The “midge bite” is anticipated every season around this time and I can tell you it has begun! Midges can be seen hatching around the lake as temperatures increase late

Fly fishing on the Truckee River has improved since the last fishing report as a result of dropping flows

by RENO FLY SHOP

Fly fishing on the Truckee River has improved since the last fishing report as a result of dropping flows. The storms that pounded the region in early January have shifted and made way for sunny days here in the Reno/Tahoe area. As a result, clarity has improved greatly as tributaries to the main river have settled down and cold temps have stopped snow melt. Most days

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid has seen some slower days this week as we see continued sunny skies, and as expected we’ve the bite windows best first thing in the morning, before sun-up, and again in the afternoon from 3-5. The storm expected to move in Sunday will certainly help for short term, but until we see extended overcast days in the forecast, expect to work hard for your

Cold on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Cold on the Truckee River. Pretty much summed up the week. Very cold lows in Truckee, and Reno. Been in the negatives most mornings here in Hirschdale. Just barely warming up to fishable temps. Reno has been much more fishable, especially out East on the lower river. We’ll have a few days of warmth, then cold for the beginning of next week. It should warm back up

Topaz has risen about 5 to 8 feet

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake has risen about 5- to 8 feet. The California side still has too much snow on the bank to drive down to. I saw where someone had driven down to the shore on the north end and got stuck in the snow and mud. A couple people had parked up on the road and walked down to shore fish. The Douglas County boat

Good Fishing This Morning

by HANS MOXLEY

A cold day indeed, especially with that wind blowing. Some very god fishing though Thanks guys, see you this summer!

Pyramid has been fishing very consistently over the last few week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid has been fishing very consistently over the last few weeks with good reports of daily numbers, although the sizes have been somewhat lacking so far this year as seemingly fewer big fish have shown us thus far. To be fair, when we say the fish have been a bit small, we are still seeing quite a few fish in the 8-12 pound range, but

The Truckee River has come into shape very nicely in the last week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee River has come into shape very nicely in the last week with excellent flows and water clarity. Some access here on the California side has begun to pop up, and Glenshire area has one parking area for 1-2 cars right at the bridge as well as a plowed parking area at the Legacy Trail right up the road from the bridge which provides

The Truckee River is in great shape

by MATT KOLES

Welp, that was fun. Pretty much 10 weeks of snow. When we get it, we get it. We got pounded. The Truckee River is in great shape, and will be in great shape this summer. The MJO looks to be in a positive phase for Ca come February. Feb could be a stormy month too. Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts. For now, we have great winter

January storms amp up the bite at Pyramid Lake

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

Repeated storm systems have these large cutthroat on the chew in a major way! With the lake levels rising and the low pressure systems barreling in one after another, it has paired up for some feisty fish and a huge section of shoreline available for anglers with about 30 miles of beaches on the west shore of Pyramid Lake. Head on out to your favorite
