As of February 11, South Fork of the Humboldt was flowing between 10 and 15 cfs

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Not much change here as many streams are still mostly covered in ice with open water where flows are faster. Flows appear to be increasing with the warmer weather melting some of the snowpack. Shorelines are snow and ice covered and very slippery. Access is iffy to many of these waters so leave a trip plan and be prepared to spend the night. Anglers need

East Walker River Fishing Report

East Walker River (NV)

by LIZ WEIRAUCH

24cfs, a perfect time to see where the holes are! Golden stones moving, black midges 18-20 and BWO are coming off. No lips to be seen so nymph it. Top fly a streamer … they are getting hungry! The afternoon ‘lajar’ (ice melt from waters above) should be minimal in these next days … since most should be already melted and not freezing with these

Fishing has changed quite a bit out at the lake

by RENO FLY SHOP

Fishing has changed quite a bit out at the lake. We are seeing the typical transition the LCT make every year where they begin to focus heavily on midges and begin to make their way into shallow water to feed. With the high pressure and blue-bird weather, fishing has been inconsistent. Some days have great numbers, others are producing few fish but good quality, and

The trout are feeding heavily and putting on weight

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee river is flowing at 250 cfs through the downtown gauge that is well below the median for this time of year (400 cfs). The river is in really good shape as the weather has kept the river temperatures above freezing at night and ending the day in the low 40’s. The trout have responded to the increased temperatures and they are feeding heavily

The lake level has come up a little over the last week

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake level has come up a little over the last week. Trollers have been top lining with Rapalas or Roostertail spinners in a black pattern. Flashers and a worm have also been productive. With more day time sun, the fish are a little more active. Shore fishing has been spotty. Best action has been on the east shore in the park or over past

Pyramid Lake Report Early February 2022 – Pigs eat Vampires

by BEARFISH ALLIANCE STAFF

Put in the time, reap the rewards. While the fishing has definitely picked up and some quality pigs are being caught, you do have to be cognizant of the fact that you have to be on point when searching out these one of a kind Trout. Depth, presentation, time, weather, and moon cycle all play a part. We have had pretty consistent results on Vampire

February truly is the month to try and get that trophy cutthroat

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

While the bite is far from consistent, February truly is the month to try and get that trophy cutthroat. We’ve seen multiple 20+ pound fish landed this week, including a 26.5 pound pig caught by Todd Keller. With fish pretty well spread out this time of year, most beaches have a good likelihood of kicking out a big fish, and we are the kind of

The Truckee continues to see stabile flows

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee continues to see stabile flows as cold nights have prevented any premature runoff, and while they are a little on the low side of average the fishing remains good on most sections of the river. With access open along most sections and firm snow conditions keeping postholes to a minimum, we encourage you to get a good walk in and try some quiet

Cold and sunny on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Cold and sunny on the Truckee River. Not too much going on since last report. Flows and conditions have largely remained the same most of January. January has been below average temp wise. Single digits here in the Hirsch every morning. Just doesn’t really warm up that much when it starts out that cold. Reno/ Sparks is the better option on the river. Cold in the mornings,

Good Action on Tahoe This Morning

by HANS MOXLEY

You see, fishing is a bit better in the winter months !! Great seeing you guys again..... see you next month!

Higher pressure has still made fishing good one day and tough the next

by RENO FLY SHOP

Not a lot of change at the lake. Higher pressure has still made fishing good one day and tough the next. Luckily, we are heading into a very good moon phase and we’re hoping for some weather soon. Future forecasts are in conflict about the next few weeks’ weather pattern, but it looks like some storms may be coming soon. Balanced leeches have been the most

Truckee River Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River is flowing at 255 cfs through the downtown Reno gauge. River temps are getting down into low 30s overnight but still warming up into the afternoon enough to allow some increased bug activity. Even with the consistently clear skies and high pressure, BWOs have been hatching well later in the afternoon. A lot of these mayflies are around a size 14. I

South Fork of the Humboldt was flowing between 7 and 12 cfs

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Not much change here as many streams are still mostly covered in ice with open water where flows are faster. Shorelines are snow and ice covered and very slippery. If fishing these streams, fish the ice edges. Access is iffy to many of these waters so leave a trip plan and be prepared to spend the night. With colder water temperatures expect stream fishing to

Bobbers are Droppin and Fish Are Grabbin

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

It may be sunny but we've got wind and the world's largest cutthroat that won't stay big unless they continue to eat. The past week we have had some unusually nice weather for January but with a little wind, the right bugs and some confidences have produced some very nice fish the last week. This time of the season the large Pilot peak strain are

Pyramid remained near 86 percent of capacity, and fishing has been good

by CHAD BURTON AND CHRIS BORDEN

Pyramid remained near 86 percent of capacity, and fishing has been good for trout and striper. Trout anglers fooled fish while using dough baits, minijigs, nightcrawlers, and lures with the marina being the hot spot. A few huge striper fell for magnum swim baits, but most of the action has been on cut baits. Yellowbar, Serrano, and the marina all produced for bait anglers. Bass
