Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY
It’s been a bit slow so I had to go out and catch a couple of fish. I got a Largemouth Bass in one hand and a Redear in the other. These are best found in our back waters like the Laughlin Bay area. I like using a z-mans ned rig in the peanut butter and jelly color (pp&j). The striper bite is doing ok in the Community Park area and we just got a stocking at Rotary Park of Rainbow Trout.With anglers doing well using power bait and night crawlers. I did get a report

The Return of the Midge

by PYRAMID FLY CO.
The New Year brings a fresh opportunity to experience Pyramid Lake As we spring into the New year with tremendous amounts of rain and snow the lake levels begin to rise and the fish start sliding into a more "normal", feeding schedule.  We have been catching a lot more summits than normal for this time of year and they are fired up and ready to party! 

What a crazy winter on the Truckee River already

by MATT KOLES
I’d say we’re doing pretty good snow wise now. That last storm was no joke. The Truckee River could have hit flood stage, if on Saturday, the rain hadn’t turned to snow. Then we got about 2 feet after about 5 inches of rain. River rose up to about 4000k here in Hirschdale, and now is back down to around 800 cfs. We have great fishy

The bite remains pretty spread out throughout the day

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
While the bite out here remains steady, we wouldn’t say its been red hot. Typically the top months for winter fishing will be the months of February and March, as this is when shore anglers will typically run into the largest fish this lake has to offer, regularly weighing over 20 pounds. As for now, the average reports have been 3-5 fish days with a

Fishing should look good for the start of 2023

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
We are happy to see the river come up this week on the big Truckee and while today it’s high and muddy, we should see flows settle down and the clarity improve in a day or two, especially as the tail end of this storm transitions from rain to snow coming into the New Year. It will be tough to tell how the flows will

Wilson Reservoir Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
No recent reports, but expect 4WD conditions to get here. Water conditions here are generally similar to South Fork so there may be some open water for fishing. However, that may not be the case and even if it is, it won’t be long before it does freeze over. At last report, early November, fishing was good here but the lake level was still low.

Fly fishing at Pyramid Lake continues to improve with each passing week

by RENO FLY SHOP
Fly fishing at Pyramid Lake continues to improve with each passing week as we reach the end of 2022. Active weather patterns have helped improve fishing conditions and should continue to do so through the first week of the new year. As fish continue to feed in areas adjacent to the shoreline, a variety of flies have fished well depending on the type of beach

Nymphing the Truckee River is an effective option when flows are in flux

by RENO FLY SHOP
The Truckee River received a flush at the beginning of the week. Flows in Reno increased significantly on December 27th and have begun to decrease at a slow rate over the last two days. At the time of this writing, the Truckee River at Reno gauge shows 310 cfs.  As of Thursday (12/29), river clarity has improved dramatically and flows have dropped into an ideal level.

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY
This time of year brings out some of our larger fish, which is what Mike Jones found out. He landed this nice size striper while fishing from shore in the Rotary Park area. He was using an ac plug to land this beast. I have heard that the Community Park area is also a great spot with a few of these stripers being brought in. Also

Lake Mohave Report

 There have been reports of a few stripers and some smallmouth bass also being caught there as well. Anglers have been reporting success with glide baits for stripers and various plastics for smallmouth bass.

Ice Update

by SOUTH FORK STATE REC. AREA
ICE UPDATE!...along with a sunrise and some wildlife, too, of course. The lake is completely frozen, with an average of 7" of ice along the southwest shore. Ice thins significantly from the middle of the lake, heading toward the dam, and ACCESS IS NOT ADVISED in that area. The warmer weather this coming week may cause some variability in ice conditions, so please use extreme caution! Also: I think

Merry Fishmas to You All

by DOUG BUSEY
Hello fellow anglers, and a very Merry Fishmas to you all. In just over a week 2022 will end and hopefully the new year will bring us good health and well being. All I wished for Christmas this year was a good snow pack to fill our lakes and streams, so we can all gather at our favorite fishing holes. Most of those fishing holes

Southern Nevada opportunities don’t stop for the winter!

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Southern Nevada opportunities don’t stop for the winter! The days are warm, and fishing is still hot! Techniques will change but the fish still want to bite. Whether you are staying in town or want to go fishing for the day up north, fishing doesn’t have to slow down. Kirch Wildlife Management Area and Spring Valley State Park offer year-round trout fishing opportunities, even ice

12.42lb. Striper

by RUSTY
Some great lake news from up on Lake Mohave. the shad are schooling and the stripers are feeding on them. Our local angler Raul Gonzalez landed this 33 and 1/4 inch striper that weighed in at 12.42 pounds. He was fishing from shore near the dam and throwing his favorite swim bait to land this nice size trophy fish. I also have been hearing that

by PYRAMID FLY CO.
Lake Conditions No denying that winter is here, and it’s cold embrace has transformed Pyramid Lake into a winter wonderland. This doesn’t mean things slow down for the Cutthroats though, they have stayed on the chew and we have been eagerly tracking ‘em down and getting them into the net.
