Record Weekend Temps, and Now Back in The Single Digits

by MATT KOLES
Record weekend temps and now single digits.  We set some records over the weekend for daytime temps. Today, it’s in the single digits with an East wind, brrrr. We had a great streamer clinic, still some spots for this Saturday’s clinic. The fishing has been good out on the East side on the lower Truckee River in Nevada. I haven’t really been messing with the river around here.

Pyramid is in Great Shape

by THE TROUT FITTER STAFF
Flow Rates and Water Conditions: Water temperature is running in the high 40's and is in great shape clarity wise. Fishing Conditions and Hatches: The bite is on for big fish from 10-20lbs. This is prime time for your shot at double-digit fish! We landed a 21lb. a couple of days ago, then three over 10lbs. the next day. These fish are very strong right now and will

NICE WEATHER=SLOWER FISHING, BUT BIG FISH

by PYRAMID LAKE GUIDES
We’ve had some nice weather almost in the 60s out at Pyramid lately, which means the fishing has been a little slow but maintains quality over quantity! Any cast can result in a big fish, but you have to put in the time….

Bite Has Been on in The Mornings

by DOUG BUSEY
I have fished a few times over the last few weeks with my fishing partner Tom Blotter. We have been trolling the deeper waters and have noticed the bite has been an early one. Rapalas on top and blades with a night crawler have been most productive. Last week we caught and released 18 fishing the 10 to 14 inch class with a couple over

Mason Valley Ponds Open Saturday Feb. 8th

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Attention Anglers! Mason Valley Wildlife Management Area fishing ponds open on Saturday Feb. 8th! You can expect fully stocked water at Hinkson Slough and the Fort Churchill Cooling Pond🎣. However, North Pond, Bass Pond, and Crappie Pond are being drained to allow for fish habitat improvements. Fish have been salvaged to other locations, therefore fishing will be largely unproductive until next season.

Good Winter Fishing Happening on The Truckee

by MATT KOLES
Good winter fishing happening. Like really good. We had a few great streamer days, but the dry fly fishing has been where it’s at- on the lower Truckee River in Nevada. Yep, I said dry fly fishing. Don’t say that a whole hell of a lot on the Truckee River, but there have been some days where it’s simply been epic. Of course some days are better

Midge Bite is in Full Swing

by RENO FLY SHOP
The midge bite is in full swing! After a few slower weeks at the lake, fishing has begun to pick up at Pyramid Lake. The Lahontan Cutthroat Trout are highly piscivorous, but their main forage, the tui-chub, are a warm water species. The cold January weather partnered with a few storms have driven the tui-chub into the depths where the water is warmer. Because of

Not A Lot Has Changed on The River

by RENO FLY SHOP
Not a lot has changed on the river in the past few weeks. Smaller darker flies are still the dominant fly choice for me. We are seeing a lot of Skwala stonefly in the shallower waters. Skwala stoneflies are not your typical stonefly. They don’t climb out of the river on structure, instead they move into shallow rocky areas where they hatch and mate. We

Truckee River Fishing Report-1-21-20

by MATT KOLES
Good winter fishing on the Truckee River. With the exception of a few days last week when it got real cold, fishing has been pretty good. The great news is, we have some pretty good dry fly fishing happening on the lower river in Nevada. Right about mid-day you’ll see blue wings, and pods of fish rising in certain runs. Super good on those warmer overcast days,

Truckee River Fishing Report-1-13-20

by MATT KOLES
I added another day to the Streamer Clinic. February 8th.  The clinic on the 1st is full. 49ers are back in the NFC title game, and we’re sticking some big browns on the lower Truckee River. Can’t complain. A few warm days last week, but still pretty cold round these parts. Some smaller storms this week, and a good one late mid-week. Looks to be nice this

Lake Tahoe Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing has been good from boats and fair from shore. Slow moving spoons in combination with flashers in the top 20 feet have been effective all day. Jigging and trolling for macs has been fair.

Squaw Creek Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing has been fair at Squaw Creek Reservoir. Fly fisherman slowly trolling larger buggers and leech patterns are getting the attention of the occasional trout near the dam and in open water. The inlet has been productive in the afternoons and evening with sheep creek specials, Zug bugs, and midge pupa slowly retrieved. Spin fisherman using larger spinners are out fishing all other methods.
