Western Nevada Fish Reports

Mackinaw fishing 2.0. Not as good as your first trip earlier this year but fun times for sure.

Continued warm Fall weather on the Truckee River. Unseasonable warm weather. Hopefully, we can get some cooler rainy weather. The fly fishing ain’t bad on the Truckee River, but it should be better. It’s just that ridge of high pressure parked off the coast. Warm sunny days. That being said, flows are still pretty good. Im surprised we have this much water in the river, it being

These are images from the last season, but this year it started early! Huge Lahontan cutthroat trout is taking over Pyramid Lake! Are you a beginner? Well, we have it all together for you: ladders, flies, guides and even lunch by Traeger Grills! Here’s what we got for the next clinic: “We hope everyone is enjoying the fantastic weather we are having this fall. The fishing

The lake level is low. The Douglas County day use and boat ramp is open. The NDOW planted the lake recently with 4000 rainbow trout. Green powerbait has been most productive for shore anglers. Trollers have been using flashers and worms and the occasional Raplala.

The opener wasn't the glory all what we were wishing for, but in the matter of less than a week things have turned up. Still have to fish deep, but over the next few weeks they should shallow up a little bit. Regardless we are out hunting for these pigs with deep water jig methods, and the fish are hitting hard and most are in

Fishing season at Pyramid Lake has begun. 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

Flows on the South Fork of the Humboldt are very low and fishing is difficult except in the pools. Flows above the reservoir are almost nonexistent. Flows are better below the reservoir and fishing is fair there. Fishing dries in the stream should produce a few trout and streamers and nymphs in the pools are also working. As of September 30, the South Fork of

Well done fellas. 8:45 am and done. Took me awhile to fillet though!

This year's Pyramid Lake opener opened up in a fury, with large numbers of fly anglers, conventional anglers and boaters descending upon lake in pilgramage fashion. From the incredibly long boat ramp line, campers on beaches, and more float craft than we have seen in years, it was a busy day to start the much anticipated season. With all the hype around the opener you

Donny checked in with us today from his opening weekend catches at  Pyramid Lake check out his fish!

Good fishing and great weather. Maybe a little too great with the weather, lol. High’s in the low 70’s, perfect blue bird days. Us fly anglers, always like some clouds and rain. I’ll take this weather any day though, soon it will be cold. Flows have just dropped some out of Boca Reservoir. 388 cfs here in Hirschdale this morning. Down from 450 cfs, last week.
