Nevada Fish Reports


Green sunfish and Bluegill can be caught all day long

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
We are in full summer mode which means stocking has slowed at many of the community ponds until water temperatures come down some. The Sparks Marina would be one of the few exceptions to this. Even though we’re not out planting, there’s still fish to be caught. Baily Pond and the Verdi Mill Ponds both have excellent populations of easy to catch panfish. Green sunfish

Not many reports back from Blue this season

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Not many reports back from Blue this season. Fishing well and should continue unless we see some significant weather changes. Fly fisherman using nymphs with peacock bodies catch fish most of the day slowly retrieved or under the indicator. Terrestrial insects fish well up at Blue, ants and beetle patterns are some of the best for searching all day on the surface.

Knott Creek has been slow to rebound from the last few years

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Knott Creek has been slow to rebound from the last few years of low warm water. Fish have averaged 14” and catch rates have been fair. We could definitely use a nice wet winter at Knott to help improve the general health. Fly fisherman using small dark leech patterns and peacock body nymphs behind sinking lines or deep under indicators are having good days.

Wild populations of rainbow, cutthroat, and brown trout exist and fishing is expected to be fair to poor

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Stocking – Trout are stocked occasionally, which depends on current abundance and water conditions. Regulations – Limit is 5 trout and 15 warmwater game fish of which not more than 5 may be black bass and 5 may be walleye. Live baitfish and aquatic bait from the Humboldt River Basin may be used. Commercially prepared and preserved baitfish or their parts may be used as

Fishing has been good at Hobart and busy with the heat in the Valley

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing has been good at Hobart and busy with the heat in the Valley. Thanks to all of those who have been leaving angler surveys for us. Damsels and callibaetis can be seen on the water through most of the day. Fish have been taking a few ants, parachute adams, and Griffith’s gnats when the wind is down. Afternoon fishing seems to be best trolling

Trout are averaging 12-14” with a few holdovers pushing 16”

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Great fishing can be found at Onion. Heat hasn’t slowed down the fishing much yet making limits common. Trout are averaging 12-14” with a few holdovers pushing 16”. Catch and release fisherman are reporting dozens and dozens of fish caught during a full day of fishing. Salmon eggs or worms under a bobber has been very effective. Spin fisherman have been using small Panther Martins

Baby got back!…………….Hump Back dat is! Lake Mohave this morning.

Still hot, but not as bad as last week on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES
Still hot, but not as bad as last week on the Truckee River. We’re getting some afternoon thunderstorms, cloudy and a little muggy for Tahoe. Fishing is good if you know where to look, and what water to target. What water to target is the key. It ain’t easy out there if you’re fumbling around. Some sections are better than others now. These Truckee trouts will put

The flows have begun to taper off out of Lake Tahoe

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The flows have begun to taper off out of Lake Tahoe and the dam at Tahoe City is currently releasing 234 CFS. This will likely continue to drop in the coming weeks and there are predictions that the lake will once again be below its natural rim this fall causing there to be no water coming out of the lake making the upper river go

Fish have moved into the fast water pockets for the rest of the summer

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
Water Conditions The Truckee river is flowing 234 cubic feet per second out of Lake Tahoe. Water temperature is a factor in the afternoon as we are heating up to about 69 degrees by 3pm. We recommend morning fishing and check your water temperature every hour after 10 am. Trout mortality goes up in water that is warmer than 64 degrees. While not a state mandated

Attention Boaters!

by LAHONTAN STATE RECREATION AREA
Attention Boaters! The North Shore Marina Ramp has unfortunately been pulled for the season. The reservoir is currently at 88,200 acre feet and decreasing more quickly then we expected. Beach launching is still an option at your own risk. As the water continues to decrease, please be vigilant of navigational hazards that will start to become more prominent, such as submerged logs and sand bars.

The summer heat is finally upon us

by RENO FLY SHOP
The summer heat is finally upon us. After a long cool beginning to summer, the heat has caught up to us. Flows on the Truckee River are holding strong at 250 cfs through the downtown gauge, but water temps are rising above 70 degrees consistently at the Sparks gauge (the only gauge with a thermometer). We have started fishing earlier in the morning or further
