The big storm last week raised the flows and lowered the temps on the river

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The big storm last week raised the flows and lowered the temps on the river, but how does this affect the fishing? Well, not as much as you’d think. The fish still have to eat, and the bugs still have to hatch. We even saw a few dry fly eats this week as the midges really seemed to kick into gear along the entire river,

Pyramid Lake has been fishing well this month

Pyramid Lake

by DOUG RODRICKS

Pyramid Lake has been fishing well this month. Most of the fish are being caught in 5 to 10 feet of water. A combination of stripping steamers and indicator fish has been the most productive. Smaller midges fished under the indicator in the #16-18 range have been the best.

Wow, pretty insane snow totals here for the the Tahoe area and the Truckee Rive

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Wow, pretty insane snow totals here for the the Tahoe area and the Truckee River. I really haven’t done any fishing. It’s been cold, like really cold, and I’ve been dealing with snow removal. Hard to keep up with it all sometimes. One of the bigger dumps we’ve had here in Hirschdale. We’re at about 5.500 feet and we easily got 4 feet in 2 days.

Pyramid Lake Conditions

Pyramid Lake

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

Ever watch that television series “Life Below Zero”? That’s exactly what it has been looking and feeling like out at Pyramid Lake. Maybe not quite below zero, but monstrous storms have churned up the lake from every direction and have the fish in a frenzy. We have seen it all; gale force winds, downdrafts, blowing snow, rain, big waves, and single track snowy roads on

With the storm system hanging around all week, Pyramid should continue to fish great

Pyramid Lake

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Last weekend (President’s day weekend), we saw some beautiful weather with warm, sunny days and not a breath of wind. This was one of the busiest weekends on the lake this year with very few people catching more than a fish or two… Ouch! Fast forward to later in the week and this latest storm pushing through, the lake is right back to fishing great,

Be sure to fish deep and use ample weight this time of year

Truckee River

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

While access may be a bit tougher this week here in California due to this current storm, the lower river east of Sparks will not get hit as bad by this weather and should continue to fish well. This last week we saw river temps down here reach 45 degrees and the BWO’s have certainly responded with some great mid-day hatches. While we expect those

February is proving to be huge fish month once again

Pyramid Lake

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

February is proving to be huge fish month once again as the massive cutthroat that roam Pyramid lake Nevada venture into the shallows to suck down midges and drop bobbers. This past week we have had a few insane days with some incredible numbers and truly astonishing cutthroat hitting the net. The growth on these fish is downright mind boggling and the power posed in

Pyramid Lake

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The lake has been fishing very consistently over the last few weeks, and for those waiting to plan their trip to this destination fishery, the next 2 months will really be your best shots at great fishing. As for those that live a little closer and are just doing a day trip here, we have seen a window of good fishing in the afternoons, typically

Good hatches of Baetis beginning to show in the lower river east of Sparks

Truckee River- Lockwood

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

With good hatches of Baetis beginning to show in the lower river east of Sparks, the Skwalas nearing emergence here in California, and the big aggressive fish looking more regularly at a well presented streamer, there are a lot of good ways to find fish on the river right now. While using nymphs under an indicator will still remain the most consistent day to day,

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Progressively getting a bit warmer on the Truckee River. Figure, it’s February and it’s gotta warm up at some point. Been a cold winter. Still shit tons of snow, good news for summer. Winter is far from over here in the central Sierra’s though. Bit lower and cold flow wise on the California side of things on the Truckee River. 275 cfs, Nevada side, out East through the

Topaz Lake

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake and the boat launch area is thawing nicely. I am planning a trip up to see how the boat ramp is, and if it is safe to use. A few angler have been getting down to the shore on the north and south end. Be careful along the shore. In the morning the ground is solid and frozen. But it will soften and
