Very low flows from Tahoe City to Boca

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
Water Conditions Very low flows from Tahoe City to Boca which makes the majority of the upper river not fishable right now. Because of the low flows, we recommended only fishing from Boca to Stateline. The river is flowing at about 444 CFS near the stateline and 8 CFS through the town of Truckee. Tips for the Week Indicator nymphing, tight line nymphing and streamer fishing are all

Fishing has been very good for trollers

by DOUG BUSEY
The NDOW has planted the lake with over 4000 triploid strains of rainbow trout. Fishing has been very good for trollers with flashers followed by a crawler or a #1 needle fish. Shore anglers have been using green or yellow powerbait. The county park is open for camping and boat launching.  Fishing season is open all year now on Topaz. I have not heard from

Pyramid Lake Late October Report

by PYRAMID FLY CO.
I’ll tell ya what, Old Man weather just knocked on our door at Pyramid Lake. Winds, could fronts and overnight lows are dropping the water temps and that is causing the thermocline to spread out and spread the bait and fish out.Is the lake turning over ? It has to sooner then later. What’s that mean ? that means the fish will start coming to shore

From Summer to more like Winter weather on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES
From Summer to more like Winter weather on the Truckee River. This should kick the fly fishing into high gear on the Truckee River. What I’ve been waiting for, a change in the weather. Cold, and some snow, and rain, most importantly, low pressure and clouds. A change from the persistent sunny blah days. Now we can get into some streamer fishing, and look for some dry

Final fall run with absolutely perfect summer temps

by TAHOE SPORTFISHING STAFF
Final fall run with absolutely perfect summer temps.   Cold front coming this weekend that will send us into more traditional fall weather and fishing!!

Fall fishing should really pick up

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
With the stormy weather this weekend, the fall fishing should really pick up – and in reference to my diatribe to open this report – shifts in barometric pressure like this are typically great days to fish. With a dropping pressure being the best, and the low pressure during a storm front as well as the rising pressure afterwards being the next best. When overcast

The fishing at Pyramid Lake has been nothing short of fantastic

by RENO FLY SHOP
The fishing at Pyramid Lake has been nothing short of fantastic since the season opener on October 1st. Anglers have been having success catching Lahontan Cutthroat Trout after locating schools of Tui Chub minnows. These bait balls congregate near points and other structure around the lake. Some of the most exciting fishing takes place at this time as you can cast a streamer into a

Streamer fishing on the Truckee River has increased in productivity

by RENO FLY SHOP
Fly Fishing on the Truckee River has continued to be productive with almost ideal river flows for this time of year. With cooler nights on the top end of the river, water temperatures have come into an ideal range and set the stage for really good fall fishing. As the water has cooled, bug activity and food sources have changed a bit. A majority of

Marlette has been steady this season

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Marlette has been steady this season and should continue to fish well through the close of the season. Trolling large leech patterns behind a sinking line and float tube will catch fish all day at Marlette. During low light periods some good fish have been seen cruising the shoreline actively feeding on midge, mayflies, and damsels.  The cold should really set this place on fire

Fishing has been very good at Spooner this season

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing has been very good at Spooner this season for both quantity and quality trout. Some reports of tigers up to twenty inches on dry flies, no kidding. Chub populations are still strong, but the tigers are clearly starting to take advantage of their overwhelming presence. Streamers trolled behind float tubes will pick up fish most of the day in open water. Some weed beds

Great fishing can be found at Onion making limits common

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Great fishing can be found at Onion making limits common. Trout are averaging 12-14” with a few holdovers pushing 16”. Catch and release fisherman are reporting dozens and dozens of fish caught during a full day of fishing. Salmon eggs or worms under a bobber has been very effective. Spin fisherman have been using small Panther Martins or rooster tails in darker shades and contrasting

Fish were just shy of averaging 10 pounds. Awesome seeing Virginia Salvador Zack Medinas Gary Bush and Sean Mcardle out there in the evenings at Sutcliffe. This was Louis Hubert first trip
