Rolling right through Winter on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Very cold at night to somewhat warm in the afternoons. Dry and cold. Very stagnant weather pattern. Hopefully, by the end of the month we see some undercutting of the high pressure ridge that has been in place. I’m sure we’ll have another monster month before Winter is done. For now take advantage of the nice weather. I haven’t been too excited about the fishing on

Monday Morning Tahoe Macs

Pyramid lake has continued to be good one day and difficult the next

by RENO FLY SHOP

Pyramid lake has continued to be good one day and difficult the next. Again, like above, quality fish is the goal this time of year in the Middle portion of the season. The indicator bite has been best with lighter colored balanced leeches. White and olive have been my go to with a few grabs on brown as well. Surface temps are 44 degrees in

Truckee Has Great Winter Flows Going On

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River is flowing 255-260 cfs through the downtown gauge. This is a great flow for winter. Fishing has been an effort of searching for one or two quality fish per day. Pretty typical for this time of the year with the cooler water smaller fish do not eat daily and we are left searching for the big friends out on the hunt. Sometimes

As of January 13, South Fork of the Humboldt was flowing between 8 and 15 cfs

Humboldt River

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Not a lot of change from last week though flows have dropped in streams north of I80 and stayed the same south of I80. Expect springtime driving conditions with frozen roads in the morning but muddy on the way out once it warms up. Access is iffy to many of these waters. Anglers need to go into Idaho to access the Bruneau. As of January

Clear and cold on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

The storms stopped, mainly clear and cold on the Truckee River. Looks like we may have an almost shut out for January snow wise. Kinda a good thing actually as everyone needed to dig out. Winter will come back. For now, enjoy the nice weather. Been on the cold side, but it’s been nice. You’ll be able to get better access to the river now that some

Topaz Lake Fishing Report

Topaz Lake

by DOUG BUSEY

The water level is coming up slowly. Be careful while boating the lake, there is still some debri on the lake from the intake from the Walker River. The east shore had no snow on its banks. Shore fishing was fair for anglers using powerbait or night crawlers. We talked with a couple boaters that had a few nice rainbows. They were using small flashers

Good brown trout action going on

I have heard some good brown trout action going on. I will be going over to spend a day or so and will have a full report.

Pyramid Lake Report Early January 2022 - Give them Pigs the Onion

by BEARFISH ALLIANCE STAFF

A lot of precipitation graced our area in the last weeks of 2021, and that is a great thing! Steady inflow from the Truckee, cold temps, and steady churning of the lake is what we like to see. The pace at which fish are caught this year is definitely marathon worthy, however the quality hogs keep showing up. As a matter of fact had a

Happy New Year, Wanna Party

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

As the big storms ravaged,the water temperatures have continued to plummet steadily and the monster cutthroat trout are frequenting the shallows and feeding more often. This last week we have seen a big change with all the cloud cover and cooler weather. The large Pilot Peak cutthroat are hungry and full of energy! We have seen some really large fish and some intense battles. This year

by HANS MOXLEY

Brrrrr It was soo cold out this morning !!! Fishing was a bit tough too. had to look around a while just to find some that weren't hunkered down HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

Surface temps have dropped considerably with these past storms

by RENO FLY SHOP

Surface temps have dropped considerably with these past storms. For the most part the LCT are feeding depending on wind conditions. We have been making a day by day call on where and how to fish depending on conditions. On days that are stormy, all bets are off and both retrieving flies and indicators should work well. It seems that retrieving flies yields better returns

Truckee River Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

Flows through Reno responded to the front end of this storm period when things started warmer but have now stabilized around 300cfs for now. Water temps have dropped dramatically too with the daily high just approaching 35F. This may slow things down for a while, but they will adapt and begin feeding on smaller midges and baetis with just a few degrees warmer temps. Fishing

The catfish bite has still been very steady

by PYRAMID LAKE STAFF

The catfish has still been very steady throughout the lake and along the shoreline over the past few months on various cut baits with heavy sinkers to manage the winds. Most coves throughout the lake have been hot spots along with the points past the swim beach and along the canal by the entrance booth on chicken liver, jerk baits and swimbaits mainly off of

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

The snow is falling and bobbers are dropping! It’s go time. Come out and finish the year off with a boom. And ring in the New year with a bang! Let’s go!

Flows on the river bumped up this week to about 35 cfs

East Walker River (NV)

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

The California side of the EW is closed until April 30, 2022 I haven’t heard any news from the Nevada side of the EW this past couple weeks. It’s been very cold lately with night time temperatures from around -10 to -18 degrees. They did bump the flow on the river this week to about 35 cfs, this is mainly to keep any anchor ice from

Pyramid Lake is heating up as our temperatures drop!

by RENO FLY SHOP

Pyramid Lake is heating up as our temperatures drop! These storms lining up in the Pacific will keep the fish active for the next several week. Try to fish the approaching storm and during the storm if possible. As the storm ends fishing can get tough as the barometer begins to rise. The past week we are finding the LCT were moving into shallow water during

Winter storms are always a welcome event

by RENO FLY SHOP

Winter storms are always a welcome event. One thing that we look forward to every winter is Baetis hatch. This insect (also known as a blue winged olive) will hatch predominantly in the mid to late winter on overcast days where there is not too much wind. This hatch can be one the best times to have some dry fly fishing on the Truckee all
