Fishing Has Been Good Along The Ledges

by DOUG BUSEY

Fishing has been good for anglers fishing the ledges off Tahoe City or the deeper water near Cal/Neva point. Right now only Tahoe sealed boats will be allowed to launch at Tahoe. The boat inspection stations are scheduled to open on May 1st in Meyers and at the intersection of highway 50 and 28.

Fishing has been fair to good for trollers

by DOUG BUSEY

The water level is still low. Fishing has been fair to good for trollers. Flashers with a night crawler or a dick slammer have been productive. Rapalas have also been productive, best patterns have been blk/gold or a perch. Shore anglers have been doing fair with green or yellow powerbait. Inflated nightcrawlers have also been successful. The Douglas county boat ramp is open for launching.

Pyramid Lake has been slower than normal because of the spawn

by RENO FLY SHOP

Pyramid Lake has been slower than normal because of the spawn. Fish are in very shallow water and we are seeing dozens of fish a day. The strip/retrieve bite has been best with Booby Flies and Beetles a few fish coming under the indicator on both mini jig leeches and midges. Focus on the fish that are in deeper water and that are not visible.

Truckee River Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River flows have increased a little since the last report, 600 Cfs through the downtown gauge. River temps have dropped to sub 50 degrees with the recent storms. This has put fish off the bite, but with a normal warmer pattern moving in for the rest of the week river temps will come up again quickly. Fish have been in faster water, we

The Silver Springs boat ramp is officially open for the season

Lahontan Reservoir

by LAHONTAN STATE RECREATION AREA

The Silver Springs boat ramp is officially open for the season! Please be aware that the reservoir is at approximately 130,000 acre feet full, which equates to a 60% capacity.

Please enjoy boating safely. Make

Perfect Spring Weather

by MATT KOLES

Perfect spring weather. Had a taste of the 60’s this weekend, man, felt good. Little cooler this week, but not in the 30’s. Wind is a big thing in the spring, just gotta watch out for that in the afternoons. Pretty good fishing in the Truckee River. Flows are pretty mellow for spring. Just over 600 cubes here, and on down the river. Last year they were

The Lahontan Cutthroat trout have begun their spawn and fish are coming into extremely shallow water looking to find fresh water to run up into to spawn.

Truckee River Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River flows have begun to show daily flow fluctuations that suggest spring runoff. Might be a bit early to be sustained but it isn’t too far off before we will be looking for peak annual flows and then to begin our slide into summer flows. The downtown Reno gage is bouncing above and below 500-550 cfs. The most important change since the last

Chasing Trophy Fish

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

When chasing trophy fish it often takes a few days to get everything dialed in and even then it doesn’t always go as planed. On day 4 everything lined perfectly up for Eric. We hooked a few really nice fish the first few days but they won time and time again. Well this afternoon was bonkers and he topped his personal best one after another.
