Some real good fishing today

by HANS MOXLEY
Some real good fishing today..... worth the wait for a nice day huh ? Thanks guys, hope to see you again

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

Fun Times on Tahoe

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

by MATT KOLES
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

Toads are taking over!

We’ve had some great reports out of Pyramid once again this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
We’ve had some great reports out of Pyramid once again this week, and the name of the game continues to be jigging heavy streamers 40-60 feet down and locating the bait balls of Tui Chubs. We don’t expect this bite to last too much longer however as these bait balls typically will break up some time in November, so if you have a boat or

Fish continue to hold in a variety of water types right now

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
While the flows are really low along the upper river from Lake Tahoe through the town of Truckee, the Little Truckee confluence below Boca Reservoir has remained around 300 CFS, keeping the canyon section flowing well. There is still a wide variety of bugs you can toss this time of year and just in the last week we’ve done well on stoneflies, worms, eggs, BWO’s,

Topaz Lake Fishing Report

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.
