Lake Mohave Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Few reports have come in from Willow Beach, however, a few persistent anglers have caught stripers topping 20 pounds on AC Plugs. Lake Mohave anglers are seeing an increase in smallmouth bass action as the fish move to their spawning beds. Jigs and craws fished on drop shot rigs are catching as large as 4 pounds. Some anglers are reporting hits on jerkbaits and Glide

Seasonal trout plants have come to an end for the time being

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
With air and water temperatures both on the rise, the Nevada Department of Wildlife seasonal trout plants have come to an end for the time being. They will resume in the fall. The ponds at Veteran’s Memorial and Floyd Lamb Parks were the most recently stocked. As the water temperatures continue to warm, anglers can expect less activity from trout and more from catfish and

Reports say that early mornings and late afternoons are the most productive times for stripers

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Reports say that early mornings and late afternoons are the most productive times for stripers. The fish are taking anchovies and golden shiners from shore anglers throughout the Boulder Basin and into the Overton Arm. A few boaters have had success with jerkbaits and crankbaits in shad patterns. Black bass are engaging in pre-spawn activity and can be tempted by finessing soft plastics in the

The reservoir is fully open water

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The reservoir is fully open water and the boat ramp at the State Park is back in the water. Caution is necessary when navigating the shallows due to low water levels. Water temps are sitting in the low to mid 40s. Trout fishing has been fair to slow, with most catches measuring 12″-18″. Fish are still moving slowly in the cold water, so be sure

Spring has sprung on the Truckee River...Early

by MATT KOLES
High of 68 today in Truckee. This March might go down as our warmest March on record.  We are way ahead of schedule fishing wise. It feels like mid-late April. I've seen caddis, small stoneflies, and of course skwalla stoneflies. March Brown mayflies should come off very shortly.  So it's a smorgasbord of bugs to nymph with. We've basically had our runoff. The river is still up,

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY
Here’s a great photo of Steve Beasley with a trophy-sized striper he landed at Community Park. Steve was fishing from shore, throwing a swimbait, when he made this incredible catch. Community Park has been a hot spot for landing these super-sized fish this time of year. Swimbaits have been the go-to choice for many anglers targeting stripers lately, and this area continues to produce some of

Water temps in the low 50’s

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Water temps in the low 50’s. Fishing should be fair to good for carryover trout, with bass still being slow due to cool water temperatures.

by PYRAMID LAKE FLY FISHING

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by THE FLY SHOP
Fishing conditions:  Good Report: Pyramid continues to fish well. With the storms behind us, fishing won't be stellar, but where else can you catch a 20 lb. cutthroat standing on a ladder? If you are going, your Moo Midge or Balanced Leech could be what they eat. Basically, that is the gam right now, keep a dark Balanced Leech or Chrinomid Bomber under an indicator and in

East Walker Flows Are At 115 CFS

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
The California side of the EW is closed for Winter, just the Nevada side is open now. The flows on the East have been fluctuating quite a bit with the warmer, then colder weather we've been having, today the flows are at 115 cfs. Based on the few reports I've had from down there it sounds like the fish have been pretty tight lipped lately

The fishing at Pyramid continues to be boom or bust right now

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The fishing at Pyramid continues to be boom or bust right now. Overcast skies, wind, rain, snow and a dropping barometric pressure are key factors for having a successful day out here, so plan accordingly. We are in the season of midge fishing and stripping streamers, with streamers being best during low light days and midges under the indicator fished the rest of the day. This

Truckee River Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
Since the last big storm event we have seen flows stabilize, but it did take longer than we had initially thought due to warm overnight temperatures prolonging melt. With air temps dipping this week, we should see flows continue to trend downwards and water clarity improve. As of today, the river is still running high and there is a tint to it, but this is

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY
I had to use an old picture of myself cruising the Colorado River, but this way you’ll know what I look like. So when you catch some of the trout that are being planted at Community Park, bring them in and I can get a picture of you and include it in the fish report. The Willow Beach Hatchery is providing us with some great rainbow

The mackinaw fishing has been very good

by DOUG BUSEY
The mackinaw fishing has been very good. I spoke with a long time friend Sean Luscombe from Carson City Nv. He has been fishing with a friend and doing very well for good sized mackinaws. Best areas have been the Tahoe shelf, Rubicon Bay or the area between Camp Richardson and Emerald Bay. Best attractant was a dodger and a live minnow. Some have had

Topaz Lake Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY
I fished the lake this week. I have to tell you, the lake is within a few feet of being full capacity. The water is almost at the top of the Douglas County Parks department launch ramp. The lake was still and calm. I trolled for 4 1/2 hrs for trout and got only a couple hits. I threw every pattern and size variation I

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The reservoir is fully open water and the boat ramp at the State Park is back in the water. Caution is necessary when navigating the shallows due to low water levels. Trout fishing is typically great right after the ice off. However, fish are still moving slowly in the cold water, so be sure to stick to slow presentations. Balanced leeches, woolly buggers and chironomids

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The east side boat dock is back in the water and the ramp is open for the season. Anglers are seeing plenty of trout action near the dam. Mid-morning through early afternoon is best for trout fishing, with reports of fish up to 5 lbs. Balanced leeches and woolly buggers are the go-to flies for fly anglers. Orange PowerBait or worms floated off the bottom

Truckee River Fishing Report

by MATT KOLES
Winter feels over, at least for the time being on the Truckee River. Damn near hit 60 already in Truckee.  Unfortunately all the snow we got last week is gone. The rain took it away. The Truckee River is, "up," as a result. I reckon Winter will return and remind us it's still too early for Spring in the mountains.  March is a great month on the
