Low flows are making for tough fishing

East Walker River (NV)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Low flows are making for tough fishing recently on the East Walker. Currently flows are low, roughly 20cfs. Fish are definitely concentrated in the larger pools. Fly fisherman using small nymphs under larger dries (dry/dropper) are picking up the occasional good trout. Fish are spooky so be sure to watch your shadows and keep your approach to the water quiet.

Fishing has been good with bait and fair with spinners and flies

Bilk Creek Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Bilk has received nearly four thousand trout this fall averaging ten inches. Fishing has been good with bait and fair with spinners and flies. Worms off the bottom or salmon eggs under a bobber on light leaders have both been effective.

The cold temperatures have slowed fishing

Rye Patch Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The cold temperatures have slowed fishing at Rye Patch with a few good reports recently for smallmouth. This summer was one of the best for smallmouth in a long time. Although it has slowed significantly, some smallmouth are still being reported in deeper water off points and around structure. Chartreuse and/or white flies and spinners continue to be the most productive colors. Those willing to

Angler Report: Pyramid Lake

by FISH REPORTS STAFF

Last week’s two day epic trip on Pyramid Lake with my friend Tom Worth of Gold River, CA. We had 29 bites and brought home 7 Lahontan Cutthroat trout. 4 of them were 10 pounds or more!

Pyramid Lake Report Late November 2021- Sooie! Call in them Pigs!

by BEARFISH ALLIANCE STAFF

That’s what you gotta do these days at the ‘Mid….the pigs are hard to find, but when you do come across them it is worth it. Definitely a lot of good quality fish roaming the waters, but it will require a significant amount of diligence and patience to get one to the net. This isn’t completely abnormal for this time of year, and we should

Keep the stoke high

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

Keep the stoke high, your bugs wet and don’t miss your grabs. It’s still quality over quantity. The light switch is soon to flip!

Pyramid Lake Beach Map

by RENO FLY SHOP

We are excited to launch an interactive Pyramid Lake Beach Map on our website. This map is intended to help the new and experienced angler with information that is up-to-date on each of the named beaches out at Pyramid Lake. We had a ton of fun putting it together and had each of you in mind. We hope you spend time moving around the map and all of

Southern beaches are producing decent fish from shore

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Southern beaches from blockhouse to popcorn are producing decent fish for the shore anglers fly fishing and spin fishing. Look for a low pressure weather change in the next couple of weeks to break up the schools of bait and move more fish into the shallow waters. Anglers should try using strike indicators with a balanced leech or stripping flies with black wooly buggers. Look

There is still a small streamer bite here, just use smaller flies

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

The Upper Truckee River is flowing around 50 CFS near Tahoe City. Anglers will notice small blue-winged olives hatching in the Truckee River system throughout the day. Anglers fishing the upper river should concentrate their efforts in the deeper pools. Towards Glenshire, there is some dry fly fishing from 10am to 2pm, but mostly indicator nymphing with worms, small bwo nymphs, and midge patterns such

November came in like a lion on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

November came in like a lion on the Truckee River, with big high flows, after basically a trickle. Now we’re settling back into late fall, early winter flows. Cold nights, and mild days. Continued warmth on the forecast, fingers crossed we get more snow before the end of the month. It’s looking like the end of this 21 day dry cycle might bring another AR type

Indicator Cutthroat Fishing

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

Craig came out with us and put his new knowledge to work. After learning all the ins and outs of indicator fishing Craig went out after the clinic and accomplished his season goal on day 1, thus enabling him to make a new goal after the end of the first day out here at the lake. All the right tools for the job make chasing

Streamer Clinic, Saturday November 27th

by MATT KOLES

Streamer Clinic, Saturday November 27th. If I could access my old posts, I’d have a long write up on what to expect for the streamer clinic. My sites still a bit jacked. Anyways, kinda last minute clinic, but the weather is supposed to be nice for a few weeks and streamer fishing sure is fun going into Winter. In this clinic we will fish streamers on my

Things have been improving at Pyramid Lake

by RENO FLY SHOP

Things have been improving at Pyramid Lake since the significant rainfall a few weeks ago. Water clarity has improved and the new fresh water that fell on the lake and came in from the river and tributaries has mixed making much more favorable conditions for the trout to go on their bite. We are in that time in the season when we begin to transition

Truckee River has cleared up and flows are just above average flow

by RENO FLY SHOP

The big Truckee River has cleared up and flows are just above average flow at the downtown Reno gage. These flows, just over 400 cfs, are great levels to access some of the less fished spots on the river. The fish have more than enough water to move around but are concentrated in typical spots to be able to find. Bugs have also been somewhat predictable
