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!

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

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

by HANS MOXLEY

Things are firing off on the dry fly side of things on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES
Things are firing off on the dry fly side of things on the Truckee River. Let’s keep this to a dry fly post. Good to great dry fly fishing right now on the Truckee River. We have Midges coming off in the mornings, and blue wings around 1:00. Skwalas in the afternoons. We have a Skwala hatch that on certain lower water years, like this,

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

Located off Alt 95 in the Yerington NV area. The area has many ponds throughout the management area. The only waters open to fishing now are North Pond, Crappie Pond, Beaver Pond. Bass Pond and Hinkson Slough. Check regulations for the area before you fish. The area also has designated camp areas, some with fire pits.

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
