by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
There was a substantial drop in flows out of Boca Reservoir on Thursday the 1st, which caused a decrease of 175 CFS below the confluence, and as of today the flows at Farad are around 185 CFS. Expect a few days of slow fishing as the fish look to adjust to this sudden change, and then it should be back to normal starting as early

Flows are better below the reservoir and fishing is slow to fair

East Fork Owyhee River Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
This stream has a lot of ice and snow and fishing is diffcult due to this and low flows. Fly rodders should be nymphing or swinging streamers where flows allow. Spin fishermen should use small gold spinners or dark spinners with contrasting light colors. As of December 2, the East Fork of the Owyhee below the dam was flowing at 7.57 cfs while at the

Last weekend the ice thickness was around four inches

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Last weekend the ice thickness was around four inches, but there were spots that were thinner. Give it at least another week, and two weeks would be better, before heading onto the lake depending upon the weather. With the colder temperatures forecast for the upcoming week, it may be safe for ice fishing the weekend of December 10th. As a general rule, this lake doesn’t

Wilson Reservoir Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
No recent reports, but with the recent snows, expect 4WD conditions to get here. Water conditions here are generally similar to South Fork so there may be some open water for fishing.

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP
I’m really excited to see some weather in the forecast. Fishing has been sporadic. Good one day, tough the next. The strings should bring us some consistency. Both techniques are working right now, but it’s not an all day bite on just one technique. I’ve found myself switching from retrieving flies to the indicator and doing well for a stretch, and then changing back when

Truckee River Has Been Fishing Well

by RENO FLY SHOP
The river has still been fishing well. We are seeing decent BWO hatches on overcast days starting around noon. Blue winged olive mayflies tend to hatch in greater numbers during low light conditions, so be on the lookout for overcast and calm days to really get into a good hatch. (Tip: Windy days can really diminish a hatch, but finding a good eddy or slow moving

The lake level has come up a little

by DOUG BUSEY
The lake has come up a little. The Douglas County ramp is open. They have three docks now on the ramp. Right now the center one is in use. The two others will be in use when the water level comes up. For those planning to spend New Years at the lake, there is enough real estate for camping on the east side. Compared to

Our local angler Kenny West landed a 7.66 pound Catfish at 26 and 3/4 inches. This Channel cat was caught up on Lake  Mohave. Kenny was fishing from shore using anchovies to land his fish.

Balmy weather on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES
Things are a changing though. Storms are in the forecast for this week. We need ’em. If you’ve seen Boca, and Stampede, or the upper river, you’d understood why. I’m hoping we get a good AR type storm. Where is snows on top and rains down here. The higher the river gets, the better. If you like to streamer fish, that’s what you’re looking for. Low

Should See Some Great Days Ahead with This Weeks Storm

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The lake has seen some slower days as of late and it’s easy to assume this is because of the lack of weather. With a storm coming in this week that should change, and we should see some great days ahead. The name of the game has been indicator fishing using leeches, and color can vary day to day (or even hour to hour) but

Some sections are just holding more fish than others right now

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
We’ve been seeing some spotty days on the Truckee lately, and it seems that some sections are just holding more fish than others right now. With a few slow days around Verdi, but some great days further up the canyon around Farad and Floriston as well as east of Sparks, getting out and exploring different water may not always produce results but it will always
