As of August 19, Lamoille Creek was flowing at 9.5 cfs

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The recent rains in eastern Nevada have provided a surge in stream flows and Lamoille Creek has been fishable for the past week and got another surge Thursday night with the rainstorm that moved through. Expect flows to diminish over the next week with a drier pattern moving in. Care should be taken when driving up the canyon as there has been some mud and

The water level is low in the south marsh with levels that haven’t been this low since 2016

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Little or no change here. The water level is low in the south marsh with levels that haven’t been this low since 2016. Weed growth is thick, but boats with electric motors can still get around the main channels as gas motors are helping to chop up some of the more popular paths through the marsh. With surface water temperatures in the mid 70’s the

Wild Horse Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Surface water temperatures are in the 70’s and algae is thick along with scattered weed beds and trout are holding deep except for very early in the morning. Anglers report fair fishing for trout from boats or float tubes in deeper water, especially in the canyon by the dam, while shore anglers report fair fishing early in the mornings and slow to poor fishing the

Expect a fair amount of algae and dropping water levels due to irrigation

Wilson Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

No recent report from Wilson, but expect similar conditions as at South Fork Reservoir. Expect a fair amount of algae and dropping water levels due to irrigation. The best trout fishing should be from a float tube or a small cartop boat or canoe as the boat ramp is out of the water and unusable. Shore anglers should have some luck in the canyon by

Bait anglers should have some luck with worms

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Anglers report fair to good fishing for both rainbow and tiger trout on small black or olive crystal or wooly buggers as well as black leeches. Chironomids, pheasant tail nymphs, gold ribbed hare’s ears and soft hackles under an indicator or dry fly should also work. Dry flies are also productive. Popular patterns include parachute Adams, black gnats, yellow stimulators and grasshoppers. Spin fishermen should

Damsel nymphs are a better bet fished along the weed beds

South Fork Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Very little change here as surface water temperatures are in the high 70’s and fishing for bass has been good while trout fishing has been slow as they move to deeper water. The south end of the lake is very weedy and there is a lot of algae. Fishing has been fair for 15-to 20-inch trout for spin, bait and fly rodders from boats or

No recent report but anglers can expect to catch hatchery size rainbows

Cold Creek Reservoir

No recent report but anglers can expect to catch hatchery size, 8-to-10-inch rainbows. Fishing for Largemouth Bass is slow because the drawdowns over the last few winters but there are a few bass left in the reservoir. NDOW will continue to work to rebuilding the Largemouth Bass fishery with augmentations this summer.

Surface water temperatures are in the high 70’s

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Surface water temperatures are in the high 70’s and fishing is slow to fair for trout and fair to good for bass. With the warmer temperatures, anglers should be fishing deeper for trout. Nightcrawlers have been working for trout though anglers have also been doing well using PowerBait. Black or olive wooly buggers and black, olive or wine-colored leech patterns on a fast sinking line

Spinning tackle has produced the best results for pike

The best fishing is first thing in the morning

Illipah Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The lake level is low due to irrigation and surface water temperatures are above 70 degrees and fishing has been slow to fair for trout. The best fishing is first thing in the morning. Afternoons are poor. For bait anglers nightcrawlers and rainbow PowerBait are the best bet. Small spinners, spoons and Kastmasters in gold for those throwing hardware should work but allow plenty of

This is a great catch our local angler Mark Kuchczynski landed this nice striper while fishing off of his jet ski. This striper weighed in at 28.3 pounds and was 43 inches. Mark was fishing with anchovies and doing well with the ones in the 1 to 3 pond range. This is a great reminder that our larger stripers are out there and not just

The ranch is in much the same shape as the Cali side of the river

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

The ranch is in much the same shape as the Cali side of the river, though parts of it have some shade from the willows and some extra water that comes in from several springs that cool it down a few degrees it’s still probably time to let those fish rest for a while. We’ll start booking more days on the ranch some time after

August is off to a great start

by RENO FLY SHOP

Following a week of steady thunderstorms, the Truckee River has fished well and benefited from the recent rainfall. The storms here in Reno passed through and dropped enough rain to raise river flows to just over 700 cfs at the Reno gauge. As a result, water clarity decreased with each shot of rain but flows were quick to come down and fishing has improved in

We did some searching but we found them

by HANS MOXLEY

Great to see you again. We had to do a bit of searching but we found them.

Truckee has been fishing especially well in the canyon

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The cooler weather this week made for improved trout fishing in our area, and the Truckee has been fishing especially well in the canyon where both the flows and the temps remain more consistent due to the confluence of the Little Truckee putting in 221 CFS below Boca. We still recommend focusing on the mornings and carrying your thermometer with you, there has still been

Continued nice weather, and good solid fishing on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Continued nice weather, and good solid fishing on the Truckee River. Lows, are getting in the 40’s, and high’s in the 80’s. Not bad. Cold and windy in canyon country early. Good thing is, no smoke, or fires this Summer. Lot’s of nice cold water coming out of Boca now. I’d suggest throwing back on the waders. Fish are fat and healthy, and munching on those crayfish. So
