Spring has finally sprung on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Spring has finally sprung on the Truckee River. Cold and wind for all of April, and now, well, prefect weather. Finally. We did good in April, and made up a lot for our dismal, Jan-March, lack of snow. Most of the lakes and res., are pretty full. Good, good fishing for the Truckee River Fly Fishing Report. Hard to beat weather in the 70’s, and a nice

Limits This Morning

by HANS MOXLEY

It was a decent bite this morning, not the greatest but we ended up with our limits. Great job guys !!!!

Small and largemouth bass fishing continued to improve

by CHAD BURTON AND CHRIS BORDEN

The lake held at 90 percent of capacity with water temperatures the mid-sixties. Small and largemouth bass fishing continued to improve, and the bite could really take off soon. Bass are spawning, and anglers used Senkos, Texas rigs, and jigs to fool fish. Small shad-colored swimbaits and jerkbaits worked for bites in the mornings. Striper anglers fed sardines, anchovies, and nightcrawlers to the jailbirds in

With most anglers gone for the season, Pyramid Lake is quiet most days

by RENO FLY SHOP

With most anglers gone for the season, Pyramid Lake is quiet most days. Many other waters are fishing well, so anglers are drawn elsewhere this time of year. However if you make it out this time of year can still provide some great chances. Pyramid Lake fishes well in deeper water best accessed from a boat or float tube. For the remainder of May, water

European Style Nymphing is the preferred method of anglers this time of year on the Truckee

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River has come down in flow in the last few days. We had a cold storm blow through town this past week and really cooled everything off. As a result, runoff slowed and river flows dropped to under 800cfs. Clarity has improved considerably following the drop in flow throughout the Nevada side. Water temperature also decreased here in town which shifted the types

The mornings have seemed to provide the most consistent action

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

As we come towards the end of the fishing season out at Pyramid, this will be our last report of the year for this lake. Starting next week we will switch gears to our local still waters. Although this is technically the tail end of the season for Pyramid, the fishing still remains fair, thanks in part to this cold and wet spring thus far. The

The Truckee saw some fluctuations in flows over the last week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee saw some fluctuations in flows over the last week with the late season snow but has seemed to mostly stabilize at this point. Near Glenshire, we are seeing flows around 500 CFS while around Farad, we’ve seen them hang around 1000. This is big water along most of the river and the name of the game right now will be finding the type

Humboldt River

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Stream flows have increased just a bit over the past week with the precipitation and snowmelt though they are still well below the median for this time of year. With the warmer weather expect flows to continue to increase. The beaver dams where the river enters into South Fork Resservoir have been removed and a few rainbows have moved into the river attempt to spawn.

Topaz Lake Report

Topaz Lake

by DOUG BUSEY

Many of us have heard of the tragic accident, when a boat capsized on the lake last weekend. I cannot stress the importance of safety and life jackets while out on any body of water. Remember that this time of year. The outside temperatures may be in the 70's or 80's. But the water temperature was 47 degrees on my last trip to the lake.

The bite at Pyramid continues to be a little spotty this week with mixed reports of varied success

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The bite at Pyramid continues to be a little spotty this week with mixed reports of varied success. It appears to be mostly a stripping game at the moment and using a type 3 sinking line with buggers, boobies and beetles on beaches with a gradual drop off seems the most consistent. As we come into the tail end of the season out here the

We are starting to see a good mix of spring hatches happen

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Right now the Truckee is still holding at around 1,000 CFS in the canyon section but the big change has come upstream along Glenshire Drive where flows have gone up to around 750 CFS thanks to heavy run off in the upstream creeks, primarily Donner Creek which is flowing at around 300 CFS near the confluence of the Truckee. This has added some turbidity to

More wind for the Truckee River Fly Fishing Report

by MATT KOLES

More wind for the Truckee River Fly Fishing Report. Winds been pretty gnarly lately. Since the end of March, it really hasn’t stopped. Of course, we needed that rain and snow and cooler temps, but man, enough already. Looking good of the weekend though. Just have to make it too Weds. Flows got big. 1000 k, here in the Hirsch, 1,300 near Farad, and a bit lower

Windy, but nice weather this week for the Truckee River Fly Fishing Report

by MATT KOLES

Windy, but nice weather this week for the Truckee River Fly Fishing Report. Always windy in the spring, but man, the weather has been about perfect. Nice big flows and some fat fish. People always ask me, when’s my favorite time, well, Spring is hard to beat. Of course, you can get skunked anytime of year on this river, but when the trees are all budding
