Pyramid seemingly slowed down a bit this week with the persistent bright days

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
Pyramid seemingly slowed down a bit this week with the persistent bright days, but regardless we have still been seeing some quality catches and in true Nevada fashion, every day is a gamble out here with the possibility of a jackpot fish. With a small shift in weather expected mid-week, anyone looking to fish out here should make it a point to focus on these

The Truckee continues to fish well along most sections of the river

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
It definitely feels like spring is in the air this week with some beautiful sunny days and good fishing using dry flies. As the weather continues to get nicer and days longer, we encourage you to explore some of the various waters throughout the area as both the fishing conditions and the weather align for some potentially epic days on the water. The drainages for

Pyramid Lake is fishing well, but it can be very sensitive to the weather

by RENO FLY SHOP
Pyramid Lake is fishing well, but it can be very sensitive to the weather. It is best to look at conditions to determine when, how, and where to fish. A bit different this year has been that on nice days the fish are being more picky, stubborn, and lazy. We are moving into a time of year too where the water temperatures will rise and

Blue winged olive hatches are happening almost every day and they can be thick every afternoon!

by RENO FLY SHOP
Blue winged olive hatches are happening almost every day and they can be thick every afternoon! It takes some clouds or shadows later in the day to make the fish rise to eat on the surface, but the food is plentiful. Smaller baetis and midges patterns are working well as the hatch is subsurface as well. We suggest that you vary your depths beneath your

Fishing has been good to very good on the lake

by DOUG BUSEY
Fishing has been good to very good on the lake. Key fishing tips are, fish early and fish the ledges with a dodger and a minnow. Larry Crickon, Mike Beulick, Darren Crickon and Chris Salinas fished with Captain Justin from Mile High Fishing Charters.  They caught their limits of lake trout. For more information, call Mile High charters at 530-541-5312.

Topaz Lake Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY
 I fished with Tom Blotter last week. We fished off the shore with a variety of baits. We got bites all day but could not hook one. The lake level has been steady for the most part with a little fluctuation. Trollers have been doing fair for small rainbows in the 10 to 13 inch class. Most trollers have been using flashers or Rapalas. The

Lake level has been on the rise

Located on Us highway 50  between Fallon and Silver Springs NV. The lake level has been on the rise for a few weeks. The lake has channel and white catfish, white bass, largemouth bass,wipers, walleye, trout, perch and crappie. They offer camp areas to camp along the lake. You can access the lake from US 50 and from Alt 95. There is a mercury warning

Mason Valley WMA Area Update

Rolling into March things always perk up a bit

by MATT KOLES
Finally some weather, not much, but it’s sparked some good fishing on the Truckee River. Rolling into March things always perk up a bit. It was a very cold January/ Feb. Clear sunny days, low clear and cold water. Now flows are up a bit on both sides of the river and March is starting off good. Remember, March is about the best dry fly month

Pyramid Lake Fly Fishing Report and Forecast With the light storm expected over the weekend we anticipate some good fishing as the barometric pressure drops and fish remain active throughout the day. This weekend will be a great time to get out here. Most methods remain productive, and fish are being caught on a huge variety of streamers, bugs and lures. It really doesn’t seem to

A slight shift in weather patterns this week should make for some improved fishing conditions

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
A slight shift in weather patterns this week should make for some improved fishing conditions when compared to the warm sunny days last week. Unfortunately, this is not the significant storm we need to further bolster our light snowpack for the summer months, but at this point any little bit helps. As other waters become increasingly accessible with lower elevation snow thawing, now is a

Ain’t no party like a midge party! Pyramid Fish Report Late Feb

by BEARFISH ALLIANCE STAFF
I’ll cut right to it and admit that I am not a big midge fan. Never have been. Not sure what it is, part of me makes me feel like I am betraying the pure soul, style, and artistry of fly fishing by indirectly euro nymphing. Then again, we are hanging these midges under indicators and roping fish bigger that you would in any river…..so

Baby it's cold out side!
