It seems that the fish at Pyramid have really begun to focus on their spawn

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

As is the case on other waters, it seems that the fish at Pyramid have really begun to focus on their spawn and the bite here has also slowed significantly unless you are opting to fish around the spawning zones here at the lake such as Pelican, the north nets or around popcorn where fish will congregate this time of year based on where they

Flows on the river this week as the flows hold around 500 CFS in Glenshire

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Another week of snowy weather dropped over a foot in town and 2-3 feet along our peaks which should keep the Truckee fishing for just a little longer this summer. With this storm coming in cold very little of the precipitation came down as rain and therefore we haven’t seen a significant increase in flows on the river this week as the flows hold around

Surprise Catch at Liberty Pond!

by FISH REPORTS STAFF

Travis Balker checked in with us today: We dropped the hammer down on the crappie, then had this surprise catch at liberty pond.

Flows have come up. Around 850 here in the Hirsh

by MATT KOLES

Very much needed rain and snow for the Truckee River. Heavy rain and snow this week and last. That really puts some money in the bank for us come summer. Flows have come up. Around 850 here in the Hirsh. Higher as you go downriver towards Reno. Clarity is good. Thursday will probably put some color to the river, as it’s suppose to rain pretty hard. Should

Fishing for trout and bass have been really well over the past week

by PYRAMID LAKE STAFF

Fishing for trout and bass have been really well over the past week throughout the lake on various baits. Nightcrawlers have been working very well drop shot style or using some power bait with a longer leader to come across trout down in the coves. The bass have also been biting various soft plastic creature baits and worms along with paddle tail presentations and jerk baits

As typical for mid-April, Pyramid Lake has slowed significantly

by RENO FLY SHOP

As typical for mid-April, Pyramid Lake has slowed significantly as a result of the trout’s spring spawn. While more difficult this time of year, large trout can still be found throughout the day. Crowds have thinned significantly and large sections of shoreline are now empty. This is a fun time to be at the lake since you can watch large pods of cutthroat cruise through

Spring runoff is occurring and will alter flows here in Reno throughout the day

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River seems to have fished differently on a hourly basis. Spring runoff is occurring and will alter flows here in Reno throughout the day. The USGS gauge in Reno shows a daily swing between 700-900cfs. Nymphing will be best in the morning as a result of lower flows and improved water clarity. Typical for spring, a mix of bugs have been on the

The East Walker has fished well through a variety of spring weather conditions and flows

East Walker River (NV)

by RENO FLY SHOP

The East Walker has fished well through a variety of spring weather conditions and flows. The Nevada side offers expansive areas of public access to good small stream fishing. This time of year, the East Walker offers dry, nymph, and streamer fishing all in the same day. Stop by the shop for more information on day trips to water beyond the Truckee River and Pyramid Lake.

Pyramid Lake Fly Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

With last week’s cold front moving through the area, the bite at Pyramid seemed to slow initially due to the drastic temperature change, but as the weather begins to warm back up and the barometric pressure remains low, we expect some good days out here this week. While you may initially think that Pyramid always fishes well during stormy weather, this time of year can

Snowy weather and cooler temps have helped slow the early runoff

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Snowy weather and cooler temps have helped slow the early runoff on the Truckee from its highest point of flows in the canyon, dropping from over 1,000 CFS to around 850 now. This would have been a greater decrease, but we’ve seen the Water Master now let more water out of Lake Tahoe increasing from 70 CFS to 200, creating more consistent flows along the

Topaz Lake Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake level has gone down over the past week or so. Both docks at the Douglas County park are in the water. The shore line in the park is diminishing on the east side for dry camping. But the park has RV and tent sites available within the park. Shore fishing has been slow to fair. Trollers have done good in the early morning

Boat Ramps Are Now Open

Lahontan Reservoir

Large Lahontans In the Shallows

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

What a week we’ve had, the weather has gone through all four seasons in 7 days. The fish were as moody as the weather, it wasn’t if they were going to bite, it was when. However, with that said, the weather has pushed the fish to the shorelines and they are ready to party. Great catches of numbers and size have been made all through the

A very good day on the water

by HANS MOXLEY

A very good day on the water. A couple old friends and some new ones. Great fishing with you all Thanks so much

Indicator fishing has been the most consistent, especially as we see more spring weather at the lake

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The fishing at Pyramid has begun to slow down over the last few weeks as we begin to see the fish here stage for their spawn, with the occasional pair attempting to do the deed right along the lakeshore. This activity will continue to increase in the next month and the bite will become increasingly sporadic during this time. Please be sure to give the

The Truckee has provided some excellent fishing over the last few weeks

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Spring fishing in the Truckee area is now in full force as the Truckee River is holding at just under 1,000 CFS in the canyon and around 450 along Glenshire Drive. According to predictions done by the forest service and our local water management, we are currently in our peak runoff. This is earlier than normal and coupled with our light snowpack once again this

In the eastern region stream flows are down a bit from last week

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

In the eastern region stream flows are down a bit from last week. Most streams are below the median for this time of year, many well below. Roads are drying out and access is improving but in narrow canyons with less sun expect frozen ground in the morning and possible mud in the afternoon. No fish have moved up into the river above the reservoir

Tight Line Euro Nymph Clinic 4-23-22

by MATT KOLES

Seems like everyone has caught on to the effectiveness of Euro Nymphing/ tight line nymphing. Whatever you’d like to call it. If you haven’t, or would like to see how I fish the Truckee River, then this is a great clinic. This one will be a bit different. We will do the normal nymphing, with nymphs of course, but we will do some smaller jig streamers

Rosachi section in Nevada has been fishing pretty well

East Walker River (NV)

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

The flows on the East are at about 93 cfs right now, the Rosachi section in Nevada has been fishing pretty well, some anglers are reporting up to 8 or 9 fish per day with a few up to 20 inches or so. Most days they seem to be liking small midge and nymph patterns like princes, pheasant tails, zebra midges, copper johns and perdigon

Pyramid has seen some good days over the last week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid has seen some good days over the last week, and while these days have mostly been when weather was present, as the fish get closer to spawn, we should continue to increasingly consistent action using midges or other nymphs under the indicator. Downsizing flies has become more productive as we come into the latter part of the season and anglers using sizes 12-14 midges have

Fishing attractor nymphs will be a good bet

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

With some slightly cooler weather this week we have seen the rapid melt of our less-than-average snowpack begin to taper off and flows are a bit more sustained as of now. With no more weather in the immediate forecast we are lucky to see below freezing nights that can help prolong the melt off in hopes of seeing cooler water later into the summer. As the
