The bite remains pretty spread out throughout the day

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

While the bite out here remains steady, we wouldn’t say its been red hot. Typically the top months for winter fishing will be the months of February and March, as this is when shore anglers will typically run into the largest fish this lake has to offer, regularly weighing over 20 pounds. As for now, the average reports have been 3-5 fish days with a

Fishing should look good for the start of 2023

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

We are happy to see the river come up this week on the big Truckee and while today it’s high and muddy, we should see flows settle down and the clarity improve in a day or two, especially as the tail end of this storm transitions from rain to snow coming into the New Year. It will be tough to tell how the flows will

Fly fishing at Pyramid Lake continues to improve with each passing week

by RENO FLY SHOP

Fly fishing at Pyramid Lake continues to improve with each passing week as we reach the end of 2022. Active weather patterns have helped improve fishing conditions and should continue to do so through the first week of the new year. As fish continue to feed in areas adjacent to the shoreline, a variety of flies have fished well depending on the type of beach

Nymphing the Truckee River is an effective option when flows are in flux

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River received a flush at the beginning of the week. Flows in Reno increased significantly on December 27th and have begun to decrease at a slow rate over the last two days. At the time of this writing, the Truckee River at Reno gauge shows 310 cfs. As of Thursday (12/29), river clarity has improved dramatically and flows have dropped into an ideal level.

Merry Fishmas to You All

by DOUG BUSEY

Hello fellow anglers, and a very Merry Fishmas to you all. In just over a week 2022 will end and hopefully the new year will bring us good health and well being. All I wished for Christmas this year was a good snow pack to fill our lakes and streams, so we can all gather at our favorite fishing holes. Most of those fishing holes

The cold has has transformed Pyramid Lake into a winter wonderland

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

Lake Conditions No denying that winter is here, and it’s cold embrace has transformed Pyramid Lake into a winter wonderland. This doesn’t mean things slow down for the Cutthroats though, they have stayed on the chew and we have been eagerly tracking ‘em down and getting them into the net. The past week and a half we have seen air temps ranging from day time highs

Fish have been in close with the cold weather

by PYRAMID LAKE FLY FISHING

Temps: 38-43* Fish have been in Close with the cold weather. Fishing has been best with stormy days or windy days! Fishing in 10ft of water or less. Indo: Fishing a black balance leech with a black zebra midge or a red nymph underneath have been our top producers. Stripping: strip bite been really good! Running a white/chartreuse beetle with a bloody Mary or midnight cowboy behind it

Defiantly worth braving a little cold this morning

by HANS MOXLEY

Defiantly worth braving a little cold this morning Thanks guys, good trip. Hope to see you again

The lake continues to improve as surface temps drop

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The lake continues to improve as surface temps drop, and fish remain higher in the water column later in the day and they can also be often be found just 20-30 feet off the shoreline where any significant drop off is located. When fish are found in shallow like this, fishing an indicator will work best as it keeps your flies in the potential cruising

Truckee River Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

With low flows and limited access here in town, anglers looking to fish the Truckee are encouraged to head downstream in search of the slight increase in flows around Farad. The city of Reno continues to take water out of the river around Mogul, decreasing flows back below 100, and it doesn’t gain more volume until east of Sparks around Lockwood or Mustang Ranch. In our

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

The storms that passed through our region throughout the first two weeks of December improved fishing at Pyramid Lake. On many days, a combination of rain, snow and wind moved into the area and improved the bite along the shoreline. With colder water temperatures and storms typical of early winter, the fish have moved into shallower water. Both stripping and indicator setups were effective through the

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
