Major snow for the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

2-3 feet here in Hirschdale, and we’re only about 5,500 feet. Big snows up top. Man, we needed that. Flows bumped up a bit too. 80 closed, no power. When it snows in Tahoe, it’s no joke. Cold though. Been a cold start to our winter. Coldest in 30 years. Single digits this week, and high’s just in the low 30’s. Reno ain’t much warmer. The good

Pyramid Lake continues to fish steadily

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid Lake continues to fish steadily, but we still have the best fishing ahead of us as the deep winter months are the shore angler’s best shots at larger fish in the 20 pound class. The bite seems to remain spread out throughout the day, with no clear window on better fishing, so keep those flies in the water and be ready to strike back.

The Truckee had a significant drop in flows last week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee had a significant drop in flows last week, due to the state turning off the spigot out of Boca dam, which has been the main source of water throughout the fall. This has made the average flow along the entire river system at just over 100 CFS, which is definitely lower than we like to see it. With how low Boca was getting

Lots of options at Pyramid Lake

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Lots of options here. For boat anglers, the east shore is fishig the best. Boat anglers should troll in 80 feet of water with apex lures, lyman lures, and rapalas. There is also a great jig bite here. The bite is right at the 100 foot water column and as the day progresses, anglers will notice the bite is more around 40-50 feet. The east

Current conditions make for very challenging fishing

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Water Conditions The Truckee River is flowing around 130 CFS throughout the whole system. Current conditions make for very challenging fishing and very cold wading for anglers. Stealth is the name of the game at these flows. Wear plenty of layers as you will be fishing in temperatures ranging from 10 to 40 degrees. Anglers are seeing some hatches of blue winged olives and midges in

Cold Front Equals Bent Rods

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

The past few weeks have we have seen some downright ferocious monster cutthroat ripping line off reels in search of the middle of the lake. As these large trout roam the ledges looking for bait fish, they continue to pack on the pounds with a protein rich diet. What does this mean for the fish's energy levels? More strength and power than they know what

Wet and soggy and snowy on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Wet and soggy and snowy on the Truckee River. Some good rain and snow the last few days. More on the way? Yeah, looks like it might set up that way. Good, because we need it. Flows have dropped rather significantly out of Boca. From 285 cfs, to 80 cfs, last Thursday here in Hirschdale. They’re slowly climbing back up thanks to the rain yesterday here, but

Expecting a serious uptick in the fishing starting this weekend with the shift in weather

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid has seen some slow days over the last few weeks, but we expect a serious uptick in the fishing starting this weekend with the shift in weather. Fishing has seemed to be best along the southern beaches this week, but we are firm believers that there’s no clear pattern in this regard and if you’re not getting fish or just not feeling your pick,

Substantial drop in flows out of Boca Reservoir on Thursday

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

There was a substantial drop in flows out of Boca Reservoir on Thursday the 1st, which caused a decrease of 175 CFS below the confluence, and as of today the flows at Farad are around 185 CFS. Expect a few days of slow fishing as the fish look to adjust to this sudden change, and then it should be back to normal starting as early

Flows are better below the reservoir and fishing is slow to fair

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Very little change here as flows on the South Fork of the Humboldt are very low and fishing is difficult due to low flows and ice formation. Flows are better below the reservoir and fishing is slow to fair. As of December 2, the South Fork of the Humboldt was flowing at approximately 5.24 cfs above the reservoir and 8.1 cfs below the reservoir.

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

I’m really excited to see some weather in the forecast. Fishing has been sporadic. Good one day, tough the next. The strings should bring us some consistency. Both techniques are working right now, but it’s not an all day bite on just one technique. I’ve found myself switching from retrieving flies to the indicator and doing well for a stretch, and then changing back when

Truckee River Has Been Fishing Well

by RENO FLY SHOP

The river has still been fishing well. We are seeing decent BWO hatches on overcast days starting around noon. Blue winged olive mayflies tend to hatch in greater numbers during low light conditions, so be on the lookout for overcast and calm days to really get into a good hatch. (Tip: Windy days can really diminish a hatch, but finding a good eddy or slow moving

The lake level has come up a little

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake has come up a little. The Douglas County ramp is open. They have three docks now on the ramp. Right now the center one is in use. The two others will be in use when the water level comes up. For those planning to spend New Years at the lake, there is enough real estate for camping on the east side. Compared to

Balmy weather on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Things are a changing though. Storms are in the forecast for this week. We need ’em. If you’ve seen Boca, and Stampede, or the upper river, you’d understood why. I’m hoping we get a good AR type storm. Where is snows on top and rains down here. The higher the river gets, the better. If you like to streamer fish, that’s what you’re looking for. Low

Should See Some Great Days Ahead with This Weeks Storm

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The lake has seen some slower days as of late and it’s easy to assume this is because of the lack of weather. With a storm coming in this week that should change, and we should see some great days ahead. The name of the game has been indicator fishing using leeches, and color can vary day to day (or even hour to hour) but

Some sections are just holding more fish than others right now

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

We’ve been seeing some spotty days on the Truckee lately, and it seems that some sections are just holding more fish than others right now. With a few slow days around Verdi, but some great days further up the canyon around Farad and Floriston as well as east of Sparks, getting out and exploring different water may not always produce results but it will always

Pyramid Lake is fishing really good

by PYRAMID LAKE FLY FISHING

Pyramid Lake is fishing really good. There are a lot of fish being caught and also some really big ones. November-February are historically the best big fish months. This season is telling the same story. The water conditions are fantastic, and the lake levels are great. This time of year, it is less important to get an early start and a lot more important to

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Coming out of the cold snap on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Teens still in the mornings, but a nice warmup in the afternoons, and more warmth on the way. Hopefully, next week we can welcome some storms back in. Been cold and dry. This week looks to warm, and by Thanksgiving, highs will be in the 50’s in Truckee. Probably be a good week to fish. Hit them trouts on the head. water temps are cold, both in
