Cold Weather Doesn't Slow These Lahontans Down

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

Pyramid Lake is the strange anomaly in the trout world; fishing is best during the blistering cold, blustery winter and spring while the rest of the trout world is frozen over. We love it, and definitely aren’t complaining, and this season has been the longest extended winter season we have seen in a very long time. That is a great thing, as we need the

Still snowing

by MATT KOLES

Still snowing.Probably some more snow next week. 3’rd snowiest Winter on record so far. Understand, when we get a ton of snow in Tahoe, it’s a ton of snow. On the Truckee River, feeling much more like February than March. April will feel more like March. Just gonna be a cold spring. Waiting for that run-off to happen. With this cold weather, gonna be awhile. Pretty descent

We should see our first round stocking very soon

Baily Fishing Pond

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

We finally have some open water at Baily so we should see our first round stocking very soon. The most consistent way of catching fish at Baily is salmon eggs under the bobber. Fly fisherman slowly retrieving peacock bodied nymphs will find fish just about any time.

Bilk is currently frozen

Bilk Creek Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Bilk is currently frozen. Fishing will slow considerably at Bilk with the winter and ice. Look for stocking to begin again this spring.

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid continues to be a bit spotty this week, which is a bit surprising given the time of year. The water temps out here jumped up a few degrees this week, going from 42 to 49 degrees over the last 2 weeks, and we are hopeful that this should help the cause, making fish more active throughout the day. Yet today (Friday morning) the lake

These storms have kept the water temperatures on the river very cold

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Is it Spring yet? Well, technically, yes. However, the grips of this huge winter still don’t want to let loose just yet. Continued unsettled weather over the next week will drop another 6-8 inches on Tuesday and scatted storms throughout the remainder of the week. Will it ever stop? There has even been rumors that the storm window may remain open all the way through

Rolling right through March on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Rolling right through March on the Truckee River. We had a nice break from the weather there for a bit, but now it’s cold and more snow on the way early next week. At least it should be a nice weekend. Who knows the long range. My guess, a colder than average Spring. Flows have come down a lot. Right around 500 and change here in Hirschdale.

Recent Trout Plant

Sparks Marina Park Pond

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake was planted last week with 5000 lbs of tiger and sheep creek strain trout.

The water level has been fluctuating up and down a foot or so

by DOUG BUSEY

The water level has been fluctuating up and down a foot or so. The ramp is open to launch. The shore is clear for people to drive down to. Be careful where you venture down to, there are still a lot of slick muddy trails. NDOW planted the lake this week with over 3000 tiger trout. Trollers have been using flashers and a half crawler.

Fly fishing at Pyramid Lake has been fantastic through the middle of March

by RENO FLY SHOP

Fly fishing at Pyramid Lake has been fantastic through the middle of March and should only increase in productivity through the end of the month and into April. With the constant barrage of storm systems for much of the winter, water temperatures at Pyramid Lake have remained low. As a result, cruising fish have not been seen in as many numbers as this time last

The Truckee River has dropped into shape nicely

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River has dropped into shape nicely after a large storm around the middle portion of March. While the river did blow out for a few days following the spike in flow, clarity has improved drastically and fish have settled into feeding lanes. At the time of this writing (3/23/23), flows at the Reno gauge are reported as 722 cfs. This is a fantastic

Got a trip inbetween storms

by HANS MOXLEY

We were able to get in a bit of fishing between storms. Great seeing you guys again, see you next spring, winter, what ever this is we are in Thanks again

Mid-March Fishing Report

by PYRAMID LAKE FLY FISHING

A little over halfway through March and it appears that winter is not willing to let go. Storm after storm has pounded the Sierras for the past few months. What is normally the most productive month of the season at the lake has been “weathering the storm”. Water temperatures are 8 degrees below normal, and it still looks and feels like January. The fishing despite

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The warmer days this week have made for some great days for hanging out on the water, but it has also made for some tough conditions for fishing out at Pyramid. Luckily, this shift in the weather starting Sunday will certainly help the bite pick back up and remain more consistent throughout the day. If you were planning on fishing out here at the pond this

The Truckee flows took a bit of a roller coaster ride this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee flows took a bit of a roller coaster ride this week, starting at under 500 CFS last week and peaking at 1,250 CFS a few days ago at the Boca confluence. The water is on a downward trajectory as of today and we should have some great fishing opportunities for the next two days. Yet with the next storm rolling in early next

A Fish in The Net is Worth Two Under The Bobber

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

With spring getting near and the weather systems pouring in has the fish schooling up more and more. The water temperatures are cooler than normal and the fish are fired up even more so because of it. It's good out and only getting better. The name of the game these days has been midges, midges and more midges yet again. If you don't like staring

Fly Fishing at Pyramid Lake has been fantastic through the first part of March

by RENO FLY SHOP

Fly Fishing at Pyramid Lake has been fantastic through the first part of March. Lahontan Cutthroat Trout are preparing for the spawn and feeding aggressively in the pre-spawn bite window. The fish are moving shallower with each passing day and will soon be cruising shoal lines up along the bank. As fish move into shallower water, it is crucial to adjust your approach to present

The Truckee River has fished well between the storms over the past few weeks

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River has fished well between the storms over the past few weeks. The recent warm/wet storms have surged the water levels. Just before the water levels spiked the Blue Winged Olives (BWO’s) had finally made an appearance on the Truckee River and fish are taking notice on days without much wind. Baetis Cripples and Parachute Adams have taken fish off the surface. Prior

March has started off with a bang!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

March has started off with a bang, as we’ve seen great number days this week with some large fish in the mix. This is THE month to be out here, so if you’ve been putting it off, now is when you want to clear some days in your schedule to spend here. Just this week I’ve found multiple fish in the 10 pound class and

The river will certainly become unfishable in the coming day

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

We are seeing skyrocketing flow charts this morning and the river will certainly become unfishable in the coming days. This sucks for fishing this week, but is great for the overall health of the fishery, cleaning the river bottom of silt and debris, and hopefully creating better spawning habitat for the rainbows just a few weeks before they begin their spawn. I suppose unfishable is
