Not A Lot of Change on The Lake

by RENO FLY SHOP
Not a lot of change at the lake. Fish are coming into feed early and late with the change of light and also around 2pm. The fish have been very weather dependent. Bluebird days have made the LCT very sporadic, but in spite of this a lot of big fish are still being caught. Midges are still crucial as the Tui-chub are deep in the

Truckee Has Been on Fire!

by RENO FLY SHOP
The Truckee River has been on fire! Blue winged olive mayflies are hatching daily. The trout are not always looking up for them, but they are expecting the hatch and nymphing has been incredible. Fish are moving into moderately paced water. Not too slow, but also not too fast. Focusing on seams and foam lines has also been a key factor to find feeding fish.

Spring Fishing Already in Full Swing

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS
Late February at the lake and so far, so good. The spring fishing seems to be in full swing already with little or no cold weather and or precipitation soon. The water temperature is already 47 degrees which is probably a couple of weeks ahead of schedule. We could still have a cold snap and slow things down also. Tons of big fish have been

The Truckee is Fishing Great

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS
The Truckee is fishing great. Especially in Nevada. Blue Wing Olives and Midges are out in force and fish can even be caught on dries right now. Middle of the day is the time to go and be ready for anything. Nymphing with Baetis in size 16-18 and Midges in 18 are a good way to go. Fish are in slower deeper water so take

Fish Are on The Chew

by PYRAMID FLY CO.
You know the old adage, “ You should have been here last week”?  Well that’s not the case.  With the full moon past us the fish are on the chew once again.  The change in weather patterns is also proving to be a nice change this morning.  The low cloud cover and chop has got the trout feeling comfortable and crushing the shallows feeding more frequently. As

Solid Fishing on The Truckee

by MATT KOLES
Good solid fishing on the Truckee River. Feels almost like spring in Tahoe/ Reno. Super balmy for mid-Feb. When I say good fishing, I’m talking the Nevada side of the Truckee River, not in Ca. That’s where I’ve been spending my time. The water is low and clear and cold still in Ca. So no more dry fly fishing down on the lower river. Lots of bugs, but

Hinkson Slough Report

by LIZ WEIRAUCH
A report from Hinkson! From the newly retired ‘ I get to fish my guts out! ~ JG’ : Really good day again today but not quite as active as Saturday. Water never got above 44° until about 3 o’clock this afternoon. Complete ice off did not happen until after two. My buddy and I caught a lot of fish. I did not keep track but if

February Fishing at Pyramid Lake

by PYRAMID LAKE GUIDES
The weather on the lake has been all over the place, but the good fishing has remained consistent . We will start to see some pre-spawn action with more fish in the shallows soon. Despite popular belief, the recent full moon did not seem to affect the fishing at all. It appears that storms and barometric pressure have more of an effect on the lake

Flows Are Down And Bugs Are Out

by MATT KOLES
Mild weather on the Truckee River. Looks like this month may stay dry and mild. Hopefully, we can get some storms in March. Reno hit 70 last week. Most ski resorts are at about 80 percent of average on the upper mountains. We will need a good end of this month, or March to get back somewhat closer to average. There is water stored in the

FIshing is Picking Up and Nice Fish Are Being Caught

by ORVIS COMPANY
Fishing has pick up and we are seeing some nice fish being caught.This time of year fish key in on midges as the bait fish have gone deep in search of better water. You'll find fish cruising the shore line looking and feeding on any midge they can find. Fishing with midges on floating lines with or without indicators has been the best way to

Euro Nymphing Techniques Working Very Well

by ORVIS COMPANY
For the rest of the winter the water temps will settle in the high 30's and maybe reach the low 40 range. Start to pay attention to those slower moving runs (tailouts, deep slack water) which are also alittle deeper (3'-5' range). Indicator nymphing works well in these areas because the water is slower and deeper. Euro nymphing techniques also work very well during this
