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

by HANS MOXLEY

A cold morning, North wind blowing. Got us some good ones, cold doesn't bother Colorado. Thanks guys, it was a fun trip

Late March Pyramid Lake Report

by BEARFISH ALLIANCE STAFF

Lot's of great fish being caught, that is for sure. Seems like we had a run on where every outing we would get into fish in the 14-20# class. Not seeing a lot of high numbers right now in quantity of fish being caught, but if you soak that bobber long enough you are bound to get rewarded....don't miss those dunks. Strip game is decent

Good Spring fly fishing on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Spring’s always pretty good. Not a lot of numbers, but good fish when you hook ’em. We are experiencing some run-off. Flows have come up to almost 700 cubes here in the Hirsch. Pretty good vis though. This is the time to get the big dogs, trust me. Fish the edges first. Best thing to do is -go in with the streamer first. Nymph later. Trouts can’t

Pyramid saw an off week of fishing with warm days and little to no wind

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid saw an off week of fishing with warm days and little to no wind. In another few weeks as the fish get closer to their annual spawn, we should see the weather become less of a factor on the fishing but as of now the stormy, overcast days continue to be your best bet. With that said, this small storm expected on Sunday and

With the flows on the river in an upward trend, conditions are changing on a daily basis

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

As the days get longer and we begin to see temperatures stay above freezing, we have seen the river begin to swell with the early stages of spring runoff this week. The small storm expected early next week will only slightly delay this and around the middle of the week we will be right back to warmer weather which should continue this trend What does this

The cutthroat are getting shallow and are bringing a lot of their pre-spawn behavior

by RENO FLY SHOP

The cutthroat are getting shallow and are bringing a lot of their pre-spawn behavior. The fish are still biting when there is some wind and weather. Both the retrieve and indicator fishing has been working with indicator taking a slight advantage when there is little to no weather. With that being said, a lot of our indicator bites are shallower than 6 feet and no

Rainbow trout have begun their spawn

by RENO FLY SHOP

Skwala stoneflies have made themselves seen this week. This is a little later than usual but we’re happy to see them as are the trout. Larger flies like this are easier for trout to detect in dirty water, making the inflow of runoff a happy coincidence. Otherwise, nymphing has still been best, dirty water can be good for streamer fishing and fishing a worm or

The lake has leveled off from going up or down over the last week

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake has leveled off from going up or down over the last week. Shore anglers are doing fair with Green or yellow powerbait on the California side. Trollers have been doing well with Rapalas or flashers. The Douglas County Park is open for launching, dayuse and camping. The Topaz Landing Marina is open for launching and boat mooring.

Hobart Reservoir

Hobert Reservoir is closed to fishing until May 1st 2022. If the winter ends mild, the road should be in good shape for the opener. Fishing should be excelle

Good reports from the Lake for small macs

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Good reports from the Lake for small macs. The cold temps are helping to bring the fish up. This is also one of the better times of the year to find larger rainbows and browns near the surface, making them accessible to shore anglers. Shore anglers are using smaller spinners for planted trout and larger spoons diving plugs for larger rainbows and browns. Toplining for

Closed to fishing until July 15, 2022

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Closed to fishing until July 15, 2022. The parking area at spooner has reopened which should make access to the trail and trailhead much easier this season. Fishing is expected to be great.
