Open all year to fishing. The water level is very low. Best area to try would be above the broken dam with a small spinner or salmon eggs.

Topaz Lake Fishing Report

Topaz Lake

by DOUG BUSEY

The fishing has been slow. But many anglers are getting limits with a full day of fishing. Trollers have been using flashers and a half a night crawler. Raplas have been productive in a blk/gld or a perch pattern. I recommend changing up your colors when one is not producing. I use a snap (without a swivel) on the end of my line to make

The Lake Has Been Fishing Well for Mid Winter

Pyramid Lake

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS

The lake has been fishing really well for mid-Winter/January. The water temperatures are at their winter lows around 42-43 degrees. This usually means, low fish totals and the occasional cruiser with plenty of days when you wonder if there are any fish in the lake at all. Pyramid will always kick out big fish no matter the season with the Pilot Peak strain of Lahontan

Truckee is Fishing Well For January

Truckee River

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS

The Truckee is fishing really well for January. As usual, the Nevada side is easily the best. The flows are low due to the lack of storms and snowpack, but the river is in great shape. There is no anchor ice and access is great. You have to approach the river a little different than in the summer and fish are going to be in

Fishing on The Nevada Side Has Been Really Good Lately

East Walker River (NV)

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS

Fishing on the Nevada side of the East Walker has been really good lately. The warmer weather we have had has freed the river from any anchor ice and access is great. Fish are active and happy. The water is really low at 20 CFS and is the only downside to fishing right now. The flows have remained at this level for weeks now and

Calm Before The Storm

Pyramid Lake

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

This week we have that ugly high pressure rearing it’s head again, and it’s got all of us wondering when we are gonna get another storm system. These spring weather patterns in the dead of winter aren’t really the best fishing conditions. But as we slide into next week the pattern changes and we have some wind, clouds and low pressure on the horizon. All

Bite Should Pick up in A Hurry at The End of The Week

Pyramid Lake

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

As the high pressure slides out towards the end of the week the bite should pick up in a hurry. Big smiles and big fish are one of the many things Pyramid is known for. 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

Pyramid Lake

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

Truckee River

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

Truckee River

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

Topaz Lake

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

Pyramid Lake

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

Pyramid Lake

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

Truckee River

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
