Western Nevada Fish Reports

Where else in the world would you want to be right now other than in the middle of nowhere surrounded by big mountains painted in brilliant reds and oranges, being accompanied by nothing other than a few fishermen escaping this zombie plague chasing the world’s largest cutthroat trout ? With the lack of chaos and the abundance of trout that question is easily answered by all

It got a little silly this afternoon. My net arm started cramping from too many left handed curls sliding these in the @rising3474 mega net. The next few weeks looks promising with all the incoming weather. A few openings this month still. Feel free to bug us to come hunt these monster cutthroat.

Flow Rates and Water Conditions: The water has been gin clear here, and is in perfect shape for the action packed spring season. Temps have risen a couple of degrees in the last two weeks due to the warming conditions. Fishing Conditions and Hatches: The fly fishing has really started to pick up the last two weeks for large fish from 10-20lbs. Indicating and stripping have been equally

Keeping kids entertained while fishing doesn’t always mean there will be a fishing rod in their hands. Lula kicked ass on the water up until the afternoon. After that is was running around the tufas like a jungle gym while @momothemeatman tried to keep up. So at the end of the day after we slid a nice hen into the net she wanted to see

We are in the height of peak season on Pyramid! The fishing is great, even on bluebird days. Greg and Andy were able to hit a storm last weekend and reel in over 80 fish in just 3 days, including some Big Boys in the teens! We’ve had some dates open up in March so if you’ve been looking now is the time! Early April

Coming into Spring on the Truckee River. It’s already about mid-March, and from now into Summer is the time to be on this river. Spring is my favorite time for big fish. Finally, a change on the river. Flows have been bumped up out of Boca. The river is about 480 cfs here in the Hirsch. Near the same down the length of the river as well

A new state record for carp has been broken! Brenden Burnham caught this 35 pound, 3 ounce carp at Virginia Lake in Reno yesterday. The previous state record was 34 pounds 10 ounces. This is very exciting for us and for Brenden, who has caught and entered 46 carp trophy fish over 15 pounds in 2019. Congratulations Brenden! Buy your fishing license today at ndowlicensing.com

Al Ritt @arflies the legendary fly tying master has to be one of the kindest most humble bad asses we have had the pleasure of fishing and hanging out with. He and his wild group of bug slingers came out and fished with us for a few days. Al Z finished the trip out with a tail walking backing getter that put on a real

We all know the old adage, “You should have been here yesterday”. Today definitely proved that once again. As most of us know these fish prefer some weather this time of year. Yesterday was the first weather event we have seen in over a month and the fish definitely had the feed bags wide open! @sarah_landstrom and her posse of determined bad ass women got

It finally snowed again in Tahoe. Actually woke up to about 4 inches here in the Hirsch, up top, they got almost a foot. Small storm for Tahoe standards, but it’s a start. The long range models are suggesting more storms and bigger, mid-month. Of course, Miracle March was back in 91′, but we’ve had some big March snowfalls recently in 16′, and 18.’ Hopefully we

Pyramid Lake Fisheries checked in with us today with this nice catch from Andrew Goodman on February 15. The Cutthroat weighed in at 13 lbs. and 34 inches.

Mild weather for the Truckee River.  Having a long, mild, dry streak here in Tahoe/ Reno. This is very typical to get prolonged dry spells in the Sierra’s, but this is an exceptional one. The snow we have is melting. Will we get more snow? Looks like the long range models are coming into agreement on a pattern change. How much rain/ snow is the question.

With the Spring like weather conditions we are having at the lake one must really take advantage of one’s opportunities. A few mornings this week we have had cloud cover and chop and the fish were loving it! Chris @chrisnicola put his client Eric from the Bay Area on a healthy Pilot peak!
