Fly fishing at Pyramid Lake has continued to be good with midge activity increasing

Pyramid Lake

by RENO FLY SHOP

Fly fishing at Pyramid Lake has continued to be good with midge activity increasing almost daily. Warmer temperatures around midday have greatly improved the bite. Additionally, many large fish are starting to show up in anticipation for Spring. While earlier fishing reports suggested that the best fishing was happening in locations with deep water, fish have now shifted towards shallower water and are feeding in

The Truckee River continues to fish well with the warmer weather

Truckee River

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

Pyramid Lake

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 has been fishing very well over the last week

Truckee River

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

Pyramid Lake

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

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

Pyramid Lake

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

Truckee River

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
