This storm cycle has really kicked up the bite at Pyramid Lake

by RENO FLY SHOP

This storm cycle has really kicked up the bite at Pyramid Lake with lots of snow, wind, and cloud cover. Fish are keying largely on midge patterns along the sharp dropoff zones as well as the shallower beaches on the right day. When the wind is stirring up the lake, waves have been pretty big- resulting in fish feeding tight to the bank or dropoff. In

Fishing on the Truckee River has been great in between storms

by RENO FLY SHOP

Fishing on the Truckee River has been great in between storms. With the mild weather leading up to this week, fish were feeding actively on Blue Winged Olives throughout the Nevada side of the river. Water temperatures were hovering around 40 degrees on the lower river which helps quite a bit. It has since cooled so watch things to dip and then improve next week

The bite at Pyramid has been great this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The bite at Pyramid has been great this week. The fishing is good throughout the day, and all presentations have been working. We would recommend choosing your method of fishing based on the beach you end up at, or vice versa. If fishing a rocky bottom beach, you would want to avoid using sinking line and streamers and would be best focusing on fishing midges

The fish will continue to hold in slow, deep runs

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The fishing on the Truckee slowed down quite a bit this week when compared to the previous month of dry, warm days. When looking at the conditions, the flows have yet to change much and water temps have dropped but not plummeted. When theorizing why the bite slows down so drastically despite any major shift in the tangible variables, we often just simplify it by

We've started to get a few reports from the Nevada side lately

East Walker River (NV)

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

The California side of the EW is closed for Winter, just the Nevada side is open now. We've started to get a few reports from the Nevada side lately, some days have been pretty good while other days have not been so good. On the good days it sounds like they're eating small midge patterns like zebra midges, pheasant tails, hare's ears, perdigons, copper johns,

It’s true, the lake is fishing well this week. Finally!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

It’s true, the lake is fishing well this week. Finally! The dropping pressure, overcast skies, wind and precipitation have done a lot to make the fish more active. Not just in the morning either, the bite has been pretty good all day! As we head into mid-February we have seen the midge be the most consistent bug for under the indicator, but we found a few

Waiting on the storm

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

With little precipitation as of today, we have not seen a significant change in flows on the river just yet. The water temps also haven’t changed either, surprisingly. Despite these facts, the river has slowed down over the week compared to the last month of fishing during the false spring. This will change even more drastically this week as we begin to see multiple days

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

This photo is from our annual “Fish with a First Responder” fishing clinic, held each September just before the Willow Beach National Fish Hatchery begins its trout stocking program. It’s a great example of how good the fishing can be after a trout plant. Our first responders did an outstanding job helping kids get hooked up. As soon as one young angler landed a fish, they

The lake is fishing very well right now

by THE FLY SHOP

Fishing conditions: Great Report: The lake is fishing very well right now. This weather has the fish cruising the shoreline dropoffs looking for whatever they can get their mouths around. 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 the water.

Fishing has been very good for casting the rocky areas for rainbows

by DOUG BUSEY

Fishing has been very good for casting the rocky areas for rainbows. Jigging has been good for decent mackinaws ranging 3 to 5 lbs. Best areas have been on the south west side of the lake from Camp Richardson to Emerald bay. Some anglers have also had good success on the north end of the lake. Jason sent me a few pictures of his catches

Unfortunately, last night's storm did a number on the ice

Wild Horse Reservoir

by WILD HORSE STATE RECREATION AREA

Unfortunately, last night's storm did a number on the ice. There are now large swathes of open water, and remaining ice has thinned significantly. Even Hendricks and Penrod arms have open water. The forecast does call for slightly colder temperatures and another storm on Wednesday. We will update on ice conditions daily leading up to President's day weekend. Thank you and stay safe!
