Pick up the phone and let us help you get you three steps closer to a monster cutthroat. Lauren came down for a quick trip and had a stellar session with

Pyramid Lake Guides Fishing Report

by PYRAMID LAKE GUIDES

More mild weather and good fishing! January is one of the most underrated months to fish Pyramid. The water temps can make the fishing inconsistent, but this year has been good so far, we even landed another 20 lber! We’ve had a mild winter on Pyramid Lake Nevada, which often means not great fishing, but not this season! The fishing has been good, with not too

Decent River Fishing on The Truckee

by MATT KOLES

Decent Winter fishing on the Truckee River. Be nice to get some storms rolling through. Mild weather now, maybe next week, fingers crossed. When I say decent, I mean, we’re getting some fish. I do a lot of streamer fishing, winter -spring. If you seize your moment and strip set, you’ll have a good day. If you don’t, you’ll think the fishing sucks, though you missed the

A Little Bump in Flows

by MATT KOLES

A little bump in flows. That’ll help things out a bit. Low and cold to, lowish and cold, on the Truckee River. Actually, this week we could see high’s in the 60’s in Reno. I’m not writing winter off, but this weather is disappointing. So, very clear and cold in the mornings and mild afternoons. I’m really hoping to see the heads pop up on the lower

Topaz Lake Opener Report

by DOUG BUSEY

Hello fellow anglers, as we welcomed in 2021, many anglers ascended on Topaz Lake to bring in the new year. I and fellow angler Tom Blotter were amongst the many. At 6am Tom and I were on the lake waiting for the official start time. There was an eerie fog type mist lingering over the lake. It was a cool 18 degrees, and the winds

Pilots Are Pushing Into The Shallows More Frequently

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

Good Bye 2020 and Good Bye Full Moon As we slide into a new year the only thing that is on my mind is pre spawn Pilots pushing into the shallows more frequently. Last week we had freezing temperatures and a big moon that made for some semi-inconsistent fishing. The mornings the fish were on the chew a bit heavier than the afternoon with the moon

Fishing This Week Has Been On and Off

by RENO FLY SHOP

Fishing this week has been on and off. I believe this is due to a waxing to full moon and also fast moving storms that have pushed through our area. Fortunately, we have a few storms lined up in the new year, and this consistently should really increase the bite out at the lake. We have been focusing mostly on the indicator bite, but we have

Not A Lot Has Changed on The Truckee

by RENO FLY SHOP

Not a lot has changed for the Truckee River. The river is at 210 CFS through the downtown gauge. We have a few storms rolling in through the area over the next couple of weeks. This can really help out the dry fly fishing as overcast days promote the hatching of blue winged olives. A size 18-16 Parachute Adams or Pullover BWO imitation has worked

Cold & A Little Snow

by MATT KOLES

Cold and a little snow. Just waiting for that zonal jet stream to take aim on Nor Cal, it’s coming. We’ve just been getting brushed. For now, cold temps and some snow. Been spending my time on the lower river streamer fishing. Though it’s cold in Reno too right now, flows and temps are still a bit warmer then around here. We’re starting to run into some

Topaz Opener 1/1/21

by DOUG BUSEY

Hello fellow anglers. I think we are all looking forward to the new year to begin. January 1st will be a welcome sight, so we may begin a new year. At 6:32 AM, Topaz Lake will officially open for the 2021 fishing season. The lake level has been coming up slowly, but is still very low compared to last year on this date. I took

Shore Anglers Are Seeing Fish Come Closer to Shore Now

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Shore anglers are seeing fish come closer to shore now. The north end of the lake is starting to fish better than it has been. Some places in the north end to try are Spider Point, Windless Bay, and Pelican Point. Anglers fishing Popcorn Rock, Cattleguard, Blockhouse Beach, Wino Beach, and Indian Head Beach are also still seeing good success. Anglers stripping flies are fishing

Best Fishing is Below Hirschdale

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

The Upper Truckee River is currently closed for fishing from Tahoe City to Trout Creek. The best fishing is below Hirschdale. Anglers fishing in the Glenshire area should focus on using dry flies such as blue winged olives or midges. Anglers fishing below Glenshire and Boca should use crawdads, small nymphs, and there may be some blue winged olive activity, depending on the temperature in
