Opening weekend was a good one with the lake fishing well

by THE FLY SHOP
Opening weekend was a good one with the lake fishing well. It has slowed some since, the Cutties are deeper chasing the chubs. For consistent action you will need to get out on a boat to access the deeper water. Look for the lake to flip in the coming weeks, consistent cold weather will make this happen and the fish will be accessible for the

Last few days been fantastic!

by MIKE NIELSEN
            Last few days been fantastic. Rainbows, Cutthroat, Kokanee and big numbers of lakers.     If you fish deep you can beat up on the spawners but the meat is soft as they are providing nutrients to eggs and milt, go mid depths from 35-65 over 80 ft and strong numbers of 1-3 lb Mack’s not mature enough to spawn but firm orange meat great for table fare

Pyramid Lake Opener Report and Podcast

by BEARFISH ALLIANCE STAFF
This year’s opener at Pyramid Lake was both spectacular and unforgettable! The weather was perfect and the LCT’s were on the prowl chowing on baitballs. Our team netted a total of around 65 fish, all at ranging depths depending on what time of day it was (15 feet in early morning/evening and 35+ midday). Not to much shore fishing as we were chasing the baitballs

Full boat this morning

Full boat this morning Bite was a bit off though, probably in front of this storm coming our way. We got most of them, some real nice one's too

Low flows in town, but further up the system has plenty of water

by RENO FLY SHOP
Still looking at low flows in town, but further up the system has plenty of water. We’re moving fish on streamers, but the fish are not quite ready to commit to them just yet. Nymphing with light bobber rigs or ESN has been productive with smaller nymphs in a myriad of water speeds. I’ve been fishing more in the morning and noticing fish sitting in

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP
Pyramid Lake opens on October 1st. The lake level has dropped a couple of feet from last season. This will allow anglers to access some drop offs that have not been within casting distance in a few years, but will also make some drop offs that were a perfect depth last year too shallow, we will have to move around the lake to dial in

This week the bite has been absolutely ballistic

by DOUG BUSEY
This week the bite has been absolutely ballistic. You can basically choose what you want. Kokanees are still happening on the southwest corner but the fish are changing color. 85-100 ft down over deeper water both trolling and jigging. The mackinaw bite is excellent as the fish are mostly in Pre spawn with some beginning to spawn. Jigging in 130-220 off any ledges holding fish will

Pyramid Lake Opener Prep and “The Gear up for the “Mid Event"!

by BEARFISH ALLIANCE STAFF
It couldn’t come quick enough this year, and we are so stoked that the opener is around the corner on October 1! So with that being said you probably need to prep (if you haven’t already) for all the basic necessities for the ‘Mid. Cutties will more than likely be running a bit deep and probably chasing bait balls…so I would say that one prep

The Upper Truckee river is fishing great

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
The Upper Truckee river is fishing great in the morning with pale morning duns, caddis, and blue winged olives. Dry fly activity starts as early as 8am here and anglers should concentrate on fishing the deeper pools. Towards Glenshire Drive, anglers can expect small hatches periodically throughout the day. The deeper pools also seem to fishing best here. And down in Floriston and Farad, the
