Early spring flows on the Carson are at about 250 cfs and fishing has been good

East Carson River (NV)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Early spring flows on the Carson are at about 250 cfs and fishing has been good. This will likely change as runoff intensifies. Fishing can really be hit or miss this time of year. Expect stocking to pick up again in the next few weeks as flows come down. It’s good to keep in mind that dark flies and lures are easier for fish to

Mitch Pond Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The hatchery trucks are out working hard which means that many of our community ponds in the western region have received one round of trout this season. As weather and water conditions allow for it, they’ll continue to get fish supplemented as needed. Powerbait off the bottom is typically the best go-to fishing method at the western community ponds. When vegetation covering the bottom is an

Fishing should be great this spring with limited fishing pressure last season

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The main parking area and new visitors center has reopened. Fishing should be great this spring with limited fishing pressure last season. Access is good and should continue to be unless we see some significant spring snowfall. Anglers can expect rainbow trout averaging 10 inches with an occasional tiger trout coming in slightly larger. Spooner has been fishing well and should continue to until the

Hinkson Slough is fishing very well for recently stocked trout in addition to carryovers

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Hinkson Slough is fishing very well for recently stocked trout in addition to carryovers. Fly fisherman using the typical midge pupa or larva retrieved near the bottom, or under the indicator have done well. Small leech patterns retrieved on intermediate lines are also a good bet here for through spring. As we warm up and the bass at Hinkson start to wake up, larger streamers

Flows are prime now and should stay ideal until the summer heat sets in

East Walker River (NV)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Flows are prime now and should stay ideal until the summer heat sets in and the water demand increases downstream. Until then, anglers willing to search a little are finding some good productive water. Overall, fish seem to be holding low in the deeper pools but as insect life picks up and spring creeps in, there should be a few rising fish to cast at

Fishing has been fair with limited ice this season

Bilk Creek Reservoir

Fishing has been fair with limited ice this season. Trout fishing has been best in the afternoon and evening time with slow moving lures and small jigs off the bottom. Slow is key.

Good, good, good, on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

.March is just a great month. Trouts get out of the cold water funk, and you can have some good dry fly fishing. Streamers are downright good on the Truckee River right now, and so is about everything else. If you like to fish on top, great time of year for the dry droppers rigs, or a dry if you see fish rising. Blue wings, midges, and

Pyramid continues to kick out some incredible fish this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid continues to kick out some incredible fish this week and when fishing out here yesterday I hooked a fish estimated in the low to mid 20’s on a red midge dropped under a balanced leech. After a epic battle where it took me into my backing 3 times I got it right onto shore where after one unsuccessful attempt netting it, it managed to

The Truckee has seen yet another week of surprisingly good dry fly fishing

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee has seen yet another week of surprisingly good dry fly fishing, which is not the norm for this river. Thick hatches of midges have been coming off throughout the day on an almost daily basis and mixed in with them have been BWO’s and an increasing number of Skwalas as well. Using a dry dropper set up with a Skwala adult and a

It's a great weekend for fishing at the Sparks Marina!

Sparks Marina Park Pond

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Does this work: It's a great weekend for fishing at the Sparks Marina! We just stocked it with 2520 "broodstock" rainbow trout. Broodstock are the fish we've used for spawning more trout for the past few years, and typically the fish we stock are 8-12 inches, but these broodstock trout are 13.4 inches! Buy your fishing or combination license at ndowlicensing.com and view more stocking

As of March 17, the South Fork of the Humboldt was flowing at a very turbid 22 cfs

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Very little change, with some streams down a bit and others up a bit. Most streams are well below the median for this time of year. Few fish in the river above the reservoir while there are a bit more holding in the pools in the river below the reservoir. Expect springtime snow, ice and muddy driving conditions into many of these streams. As of

The Rosachi section has started to pick up a bit with the warmer weather

East Walker River (NV)

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

The Rosachi section has started to pick up a bit with the warmer weather, I’d say still not red-hot but the anglers I’ve spoken to have been getting into some good fish, even some that have been well over 20” lately! Sounds like Pat’s rubberleg, poxyback stones, golden and brown stones, San Juan worms, and various small nymph and midge patterns have all been doing
