Topaz Lake Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY

Now open all year to fish. The NDOW has planted over 10,000 catchable trout over the last month. The Douglas County day use and baot ramp area is open. The water level has started to rise and the fishing has been fair to good for shore anglers. Boaters have been using black/silver or gold/white Rapalas. Small blades and a half a crawler have also been

Wild Horse Reservoir

by ELKO FLY SHOP

Soft water fishing is over for the season at Wildhorse Reservoir as it was almost completely covered in ice today. There was a bit of open water by the dam and a small bit at the Hendricks Arm but with the cold temps it will freeze completely very soon. South Fork on the other hand is almost completely ice free with a bit of ice

Back on Shore and The Fish Are Just as Fired Up

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

As we slid off an amazing October we jumped into November with some amazing shore fishing as we got back on the beaches, digging our boots in the sand full steam ahead! October was downright killer as the bait stayed balled up and the Ginormous Cutts stayed sharking. Mother Nature came through with some calm cool weather the second week and the fish responded like National

Winter conditions on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Cold, cold, cold. It’s Wintertime in Truckee. Ain’t much warmer in Reno either. Teens at night, and just getting into the 40’s during the day. The cold has arrived a little earlier this year. Wintertime tactics for sure. Water temps have crashed. Look for trouts to be holding in the frog water. They may move into some riffle type water mid-day to feed. Mainly, they put

Quick update on Wildhorse Reservoir

Wild Horse Reservoir

by ELKO FLY SHOP

A quick update on Wildhorse Reservoir. Where there was open water the fish were hitting on green beadhead crystal buggers and leeches on almost every cast. However, as of this morning the lake was 30-40% ice covered, mostly at the south end. There is open water from the island off of the state park boat ramp to the dam. Get out and fish this lake

As water temperatures have decreased fish have moved into shallower water

by RENO FLY SHOP

Following the storm system in early November, fly fishing at Pyramid Lake has improved greatly with shore fishing becoming the method of choice for a majority of anglers. As water temperatures have decreased, fish have moved into shallower water and are now targetable from the shoreline. Lahontan Cutthroat Trout feed in slightly deeper water adjacent to the shoreline, so look for depth changes that occur

The Truckee River has also fished well in the past week and has seen a reduction of flows

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River has also fished well in the past week and has seen a reduction of flows. As flows have dropped, water has become increasingly clear and Brown Trout have begun to spawn. With the addition of eggs in the river, both rainbow trout and brown trout have been keyed in on egg patterns. Bead fishing is an increasingly popular technique and is an

The shore bite has been surprisingly consistent for this early on in the season

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

We’ve seen the best November fishing out here in recent memory. The shore bite has been surprisingly consistent for this early on in the season, and there have already been a number of big fish caught by shore anglers. This is most certainly due to the series of storms in the area causing the water temps to drop earlier this year, and as long as

Truckee River Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee River saw flows change along most sections of the river this week with the new precipitation. While the upper section of the river along 89 has all but dried up with no water coming out of Tahoe, the creeks along 89 are providing little-to-no relief until Donner creek, where they are now letting 125 CFS out of the lake. This will make the

Expect ice along the edges and weeds

Jakes Creek Reservoir (Boies Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The water level is low with no recent report, but expect ice along the edges and weeds. At last report the bass bite was poor while trout fishing was good. With the colder temperatures the weeds should be dying and shore access should improve except for the ice. Trout fishing has been good from a float tube or small boat. A worm fished under a

The trout bite has been good

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Not much change at the refuge as the water level is still low in the south marsh and the Narciss boat ramp is unusable, though the main boat ramp is. The dock is out of the water and ice is forming along the weeds. The trout bite has been good while bass fishing is poor. Bass fishing is basically done for the year here. Fishing

The surface water temperature were in the low 40s mid-week

Wild Horse Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The surface water temperature were in the low 40s mid-week. The dock has been taken out of the water but as of the time of this report a boat could still be launched. There has been some skim ice in the backs of coves in the shallower water but shore access to fishing is good. The water has cleared of much of the algae and

Expect 4WD conditions to get to Wilson Reservoir

Wilson Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

No recent reports, but with the recent snows, expect 4WD conditions to get here. At last report fishing was good here and the water was clearing but the lake level was still low. Use the same techniques as at South Fork Reservoir. Shore anglers were having success fishing rooster tails, spoons, Rapalas, or bait fishing a worm under a bobber. Fly fishermen were having the

The road is closed for the winter and the lake is ice covered

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The road is closed for the winter and the lake is ice covered. There will be no reports until late spring or early summer depending upon weather and snow conditions.

A bit of skim ice has formed at the backs of coves

South Fork Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The dock is out of the water and the main boat ramp is closed for the season. Those with small craft may launch at the gravel boat ramp at the north end of Jet Ski Beach between campsites 49 and 50. With the weather this week, few anglers were out and so there are few reports coming in. The water has cleared of algae and

Water levels are coming up nicely this fall

Cold Creek Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Water levels are coming up nicely this fall. Expect ice to be forming and this small reservoir may soon be ice covered. If there is open water, anglers can expect to catch 8-to-10-inch Rainbow Trout and there is the potential to catch similar sized Tiger Trout. Expect bass fishing to be poor.

40 percent of Comins Lake is covered with a thin sheet of ice

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

With recent snowstorms and colder daytime temperatures, approximately 40% of Comins Lake is covered with a thin sheet of ice. Anglers can still launch a boat from the boat launch however, the narrows of Comins Lake is iced up and anglers should not try to break ice to access the south lake. The boat dock will remain in Comins Lake until ice begins to build

The reservoir is about 80 percent covered in a thin sheet of ice

Illipah Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The water level in Illipah Reservoir continues to recover from the lows of irrigation season. The reservoir is ~80% covered in a thin sheet of ice. There is some open water along the north side of the old dam and along the northwestern shoreline that should be productive for anglers. Anglers are still catching 8-to-12-inch Rainbow Trout and the occasional Brown Trout. Anglers will do
