Fishing is Good and Getting Better

by DOUG BUSEY

The fishing has been good and expecting to get better. I have caught my biggest mackinaw and browns between December and the end of January. If your not familiar with the lake, I recommend to go out with a professional guide. It will not only be a fun trip, but educational as well. For more information call Blue Ribbon Fishing Charters at 530-544-6552.

A Few Days Away From Opener

by DOUG BUSEY

Hello fellow anglers, We are just a few days away from the Topaz opener on January 1, 2020. From the closure 3 months ago to this date. The Nevada Department of Wildlife has planted 51,000 lbs of trout, which is approximately 17,800 individual trout. As a note, the NDOW planted Eagle Lake, Triploid and the Tahoe strain. I would have to say, if you don't

Fishing Has Been Pretty Good The Last Couple of Weeks at Pyramid

by RENO FLY SHOP

Fishing has been pretty good for the last couple of weeks. Patience has been key, as fish are coming in to eat a few times a day so it is best to get to a beach and wait for the school of Lahontan Cutthroat Trout to go by. I have been fishing both floating line and sinking line throughout the day. Mornings have been best

Truckee River Has Settled Into Winter Mode

by RENO FLY SHOP

Truckee River Truckee River has settled into a winter mode and is fishing typically. Flows are 250-300 cfs and temperatures are fluctuating between 32 to 38 degrees. Fish are in slower water for the most part but on sunny days they are moving into a little faster water to feed. Don’t expect them to stick around in the moving water for long. We’re still waiting for

Truckee River Fishing Report-12-17-19

by MATT KOLES

Starting off cold this week on the Truckee River. Last week was pretty warm. Mostly was all rain here in the Hirsch. Temps got into the 40’s, good for the winter trout fishing. Teens this week in the morning. Not all that warm in the afternoon either. Highs in the 20’s. Looks like it will warm later this week? The forest is for a cold and

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

After a week of pretty slow fishing due to inclement weather and the lake’s surface temps dropping 6 degrees in a week, the LCT are settling into the colder water and feeding in the afternoons. We’re picking up some cruising fish in the early morning under windicators with balanced leeches, but the main bite has been in the afternoons retreiving boobies and beetles. The fish

Truckee River Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

Flows on the Truckee river have been bouncing around a bit with a series of storms that pushed through the area last week. The increase in flows helped fishing by bringing much needed nutrients and some turbidity to the otherwise crystal clear water. The fish are holding in slow water and are targeting small flies (#16-#20). Hatches have been happening on overcast calm days, but

Fishing Has Been Great At Pyramid Lake

by DOUG RODRICKS

Fishing has been great here for November and even better as we slide into this month. We have boat trips available here this year as well as from shore. Call or email for pricing and for more info.

Truckee River Fishing Report-12-9-19

by MATT KOLES

More rain and snow for the Truckee River. Not much here in the Hirsch, but some good snow up top. Mainly rain here. Little bump in the flows, big bump down on the lower river. River will level out this week, and it should be a good week for fishing. Good week last week. In Nevada, the streamer fishing was good. Good in December? Yes, it was

Fishing Has Been Very Good

by DOUG BUSEY

Fishing has been very good for anglers that have been able to dodge the weather. The west side of the lake from Camp Richardson to just past Emerald Bay has been rated good for anglers trolling the rocky areas with Rapalas in 30 to 60 feet of water. Best areas for mackinaw has been the Tahoe shelf area or Carnelian Bay. Anglers have been trolling

Truckee River Fishing Report

by MATT KOLES

Wet and soggy. Better than cold and dry though. If you came up last week, way too cold to fish. I didn’t bother going out, or take on any guide trips. We had cold and snow. This week is different. Warmer and wet. Some snow and mostly rain here in the Hirsch. Much warmer air temps this week and a little boost in the flows. Fishing is

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Cooler temperatures and shorter days are bringing fish in closer to shore, improving shore fishing . We expect this to further improve within the next few weeks. Lure fishermen are doing better off shore due to the fact they are able to cover deeper water more efficiently and those using flies should stick with stripping streamers off of the deeper beaches. Trollers are doing very

The Storms Are Treating The Lake Very Nicely!

by RENO FLY SHOP

The storms have been treating the lake very nicely! Surface temps are sub 50 degrees, and with the overcast and low pressure the Lahontan Cutthroat are getting shallow and feeding well. The indicator bite has begun to pick up, but the retrieve bite is still my preferred method. The trout seem to be pretty well scattered throughout the lake we’re seeing fish being caught on the

Water Clarity Has Been Really Clear

by RENO FLY SHOP

Truckee River The water clarity on the Truckee River as of late has been really clear, making fish pretty spooky. Storms rolling in for the next few weeks will bring in some needed moisture and raise the river a few CFS while raising some turbidity as well. Otherwise, the fish are focused on small flies; sizes 18-20 and smaller if you dare. The trout have also

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by THE TROUT FITTER STAFF

Flow Rates and Water Conditions: Temperatures have come down into the mid 50's and the water is gin clear. Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Fishing here is really starting to take off with the cooling water temperatures. November and December are great months to start to target trophy fish here. Last Friday we landed a 17 and a 20 1/2 lb. Cutthroat from the shore. Looks like the high
