Rainbow action has been doing well NEW

by DOUG BUSEY

Not much Mac action to report this week. But the rainbow action has been doing well on the east side of the lake with a dodger and a nightcrawler. The rainbows have all been in the 16" range. For more information, go to Rubyjeancharters.com or call 775-233-5055.

The lake has dropped again, but the county ramp is still open and very usable NEW

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake has dropped again, but the county ramp is still open and very usable. Small boats use the center dock, while the taller boats use the right dock. Renee and I fished a few hours last week, with nine fish to the boat and lost about another 10. Rapalas were the ticket, and the early morning bite was on. After 1 or 2 p.m., the

The ranch is still fishing well

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

The ranch is still fishing well with good reports coming in on streamers as well as nymphs. Some fish being reported are up in the 24 to 25 inch range. Most anglers are having good days with 8 to 15 fish to the net. The calendar is getting pretty busy so if you want to book some time down there try to give us a

Most of the fish are currently deep, around 70 to 80 feet in depth in the thermocline

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

The fishing season at Pyramid Lake is now open. Most of the fish are currently deep, around 70 to 80 feet in depth in the thermocline. Cloudy and stormy days can provide some of the better opportunities, making changing weather patterns worth watching when planning a trip. Right now, downriggers and boat anglers are having the most success with fish this deep. Another effective way

Depending on where anglers are fishing, multiple tactics can provide some bites right now

Current Water Conditions Truckee River flows are measuring around 75 CFS out of Tahoe City, 70 CFS through the town of Truckee, 95 CFS near Glenshire, and 371 CFS at Farad. The flows are average for this time of year and the water clarity is clear. Glenshire to the stateline is the best section to fish with the flows higher in that area. Mornings and evenings

The recent reports at the lake describe the deep-water bite as hit or miss right now

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The recent reports at the lake describe the deep-water bite as hit or miss right now. Despite the colder days this week, the fish are still holding in that 40–60-foot range most consistently, and the best way to get into them will be using heavy jigs and a fish finder. Find the bait, and you’ll find the trout. The fish also appear to be a

The Truckee River is in its average fall flows right now

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee River is in its average fall flows right now, with Glenshire at only around 100 CFS, and the canyon around 400. The upper section of river will be a good place to throw dry dropper set ups and fish any of the deeper runs you can find. There are plenty of fish up here and it will still fish good despite the low

Quality Over Quantity

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

The season is finally underway. What a long 3 months. Why are we so excited ? We live Pyramid Lake, it’s in our blood. Why so ? Pyramid Lake is the Home of the Worlds Largest Cutthroat Trout. The season started off slower then previous openers with quality ruling over quantity for fly fisherman. Large concentrations of Tui Chubs can be seen all throughout the lake.

The Lahontans are eating chubs now

by THE FLY SHOP

Fishing conditions: Fair to Good Report: While it has opened for the season, fish will be pretty deep, think 30 feet deep. The Lahontans are eating chubs now. If you want to go after them, keep your ladder in the storage shed and bring a boat, 30' of T-18 and a pile of ZT's Pyramid Minnows in Tui Chub. Balanced Leeches under an indicator will be a

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

Our local angler Theresa Richardson stopped in to share her catch of a nice striper from Rotary Park. This was a nice 10.6-pound striper measuring 32 1/2 inches. She was using anchovies while fishing from shore toward the downriver part of Rotary Park. We are getting a lot of smaller stripers, and they are running at all the best fishing spots you know. This time of year,

It has begun!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

It has begun! While the opener this year maybe wasn’t as good as years past, there were still countless 20+ pound fish caught in just the first week alone and overall things are looking promising for another excellent year at the lake. There are two main methods of finding fish on fly gear out here right now. Both involve a boat, electronics and persistence. While

We have seen the streamer bite pick up this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee has seen continued good temps and good flows this week, despite the warmer weather and the slight drop out of Boca, going from 300 CFS down to 200. This will lower the canyon slightly but won’t be enough to make much of a difference to the fishing. It will, however, make for rafting in that section to be a bit spotty and anyone
