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!

Baby it's cold out side !!!! Fishing was very good even with the cold East wind blowing. Great family, fun fishing with you.

Pyramid saw some of the best fishing of the year over the last week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
Pyramid saw some of the best fishing of the year over the last week as the last storm system pushed through dropping a dusting of snow at lake level. Just a few days ago local angler JD Richey got to hand a 27-pound fish, the biggest fish thus far this year, but there’s no doubt that there’s a good possibility of larger fish swimming around

The Truckee continues to fish in its typical form this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
With daytime highs expected just above freezing this week, we recommend fishing mostly mid-day through the afternoon after the sun hits the water, allowing water temps to come up and both the fish and bugs to become more active. We have another shift in the weather pattern towards the end of the week with a warmer system expected to lay down a mix of rain

Exciting news out of Douglas County!

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Exciting news out of Douglas County! Douglas County, Nevada began working with us in March 2020 to secure a federal grant, which we administer, to supplement the costs of a project to enhance the safe use of boating access facilities at the Topaz Lake Recreation Area. We awarded Douglas County with a grant for $393,000, which was used to install a breakwater device; effectively shielding

Fishing at Pyramid Lake has been amazing

by RENO FLY SHOP
Fishing at Pyramid Lake has been amazing. Still not a huge number of fish, but the quality fish have been really good. We are finding these fish looking for easy meals in somewhat shallower water. Most of the indicator bites have been in less than 9 feet with the most right around 6 feet. Bright midges have been working best. Balanced leeches are starting to

Nymphing has been the primary way that we have been catching trout on the Truckee River

by RENO FLY SHOP
The cold temperatures and snow have made getting to the river difficult. Ice has formed on the river and a few inches of snow remain on the banks that are protected from the sun. It will take a few days of warmer weather and temperatures to get the fish back into a feeding mood, but it won’t be too long.  Before the storms fishing was good

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

by DOUG BUSEY
The lake level has come up a foot over the last week. NDOW has planted 1300 lbs of Tiger trout this last week. Fishing was fair for boaters using Rapalas or flashers. Shore angling has been hit and miss. The county ramp is open with some construction going on. Topaz Landing Marina is open for boat launching and Mooring. For more information call 775-266-3550.

It's Time

by PYRAMID FLY CO.
We have had some straight silly days fishing lately. Some days one may never be able to repeat in their lifetime. But what happens when it happens more than once? If this sounds like something up your alley now is the time. The fish are pilled up and chowing, all it take is a little weather and it's game on! Now that the summits are

A little taste of weather and it can make all the difference

by PYRAMID FLY CO.
    All it takes is a little taste of weather and it can make all the difference. Emilio with a gorgeous hen on his first day on the water. Numerous days allow anglers to put the puzzle pieces together, and hopefully live up one of those winter days.

Pyramid Lake Fly Fishing Report & Forecast

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
Like a light switch, Pyramid has really turned on with this shift in the weather patterns and this last week has seen some of the best fishing of the year as the low-pressure weather system and the days leading up to the full moon coincided. We expect this weekend to be a bit slower with a few sunny days in the forecast and the waning

Truckee River Fly Fishing Report & Forecast

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The Truckee continues to fish very well and while the cold, clear water conditions persist, the bite can be a little tricky in certain stretches, I.E., along 89-south, or in certain spots in Nevada getting de-watered for Reno’s water source/power generating.  So keep a close eye on the flow charts and choose a section where flows remain the most regulated. Our go-to would be the canyon section,
