The largemouth bass should be ready to feed as they have been taking care of

Good solid fishing on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES
Good solid fishing on the Truckee River Can’t believe, I’d say the weather’s actually been cool. High’s barely getting into the 70’s, and it’s almost mid-July.     Gonna get hot next week, but back to around average temps after mid-week. Cool and foggy here in Hirschdale in the mornings. Weathers been a big factor in the fishing this summer. Cooler weather keeps the water temps down

Mixed Reports from Sceirine Ranch

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
The reports we’ve received from the ranch have also been mixed with some anglers not doing well at all while others have done very well. One angler reported having a great day over the weekend, catching fish all day long on dries with some of the fish pushing the 20” mark. The same patterns that have been working on the Cali side seem to also

Flows and water temperatures are perfect and the fish are biting!

by RENO FLY SHOP
We have been fortunate to be experiencing a mild summer so far. Flows and water temperatures are perfect and the fish are biting! Flows have been averaging 350 CFS through the downtown gauge. There are a lot of bugs the trout have to choose from. With the cooler temperatures all the hatches seem to be a little late this year. The crayfish bite is heating

Hoppers are starting to appear

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Flows on the South Fork of the Humboldt have dropped as the snow pack recedes. As of July 8, the South Fork of the Humboldt was flowing between 10 and 28 cfs which is well below the median of 170 cfs for this time of year. Anglers can expect slow fishing above the reservoir with the best fishing being below the dam. Below the dam

Kingston Creek was flowing at 2.2 cfs

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Due to a poor snowpack, Kingston Creek is flowing well below normal and is experiencing late summer conditions early in the summer. Fishing is difficult except in the pools. As of July 8, Kingston Creek was flowing at 2.2 cfs which is about 15% of normal.

The Bruneau River has dropped rapidly and is now very fishable

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The Bruneau River has dropped rapidly and is now very fishable. Fish are hitting both dries and nymphs. With the poor snowpack and the unusually warm dry spring and beginning to summer, anglers should take advantage of early summer conditions while they can. Expect very low stream flows later this summer. As of July 8, the Bruneau River was flowing at 16.5 cfs.

Worms seem to be the presentation of choice for trout

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The lake level is good, though starting to draw down with irrigation. Surface water temperatures have climbed into the mid to high 60’s and the weeds are growing making shore fishing difficult, but not impossible yet. With the warmer water the bass have become active and fishing for them is good using soft plastic dark colored grubs and spinnerbaits. Worms seem to be the presentation

Lamoille Creek was flowing at 41 cfs

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Lamoille Creek is still a bit high but becoming fishable in spots and fishing in the beaver dams should be good. Once flows drop NDOW should be stocking the creek, probably in the next few weeks. Small nymphs and dry flies should both work. The upper half of Lamoille Canyon has mostly brook trout and tiger trout, while the lower half has mostly wild rainbows.

Fishing has been good using dry flies such as caddis flies, small stoneflies and Mayflies

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Flows in the upper stretch of the river right below the dam are good as water is being drawn out for irrigation. Fishing has been good using dry flies such as caddis flies, small stoneflies and Mayflies. Drifting nymphs under a dry flie or indicator as well as swinging small buggers and streamers should also be good. Grass hoppers are out so hopper and Chernobyl

With the warmer temperatures the bass bite at Ruby Lake NWR continues to be good

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
With the warmer temperatures the bass bite at Ruby Lake NWR continues to be good, though it is taking approximately 10 bass to catch a keeper. Minimum keeper size is 10 inches. Many anglers report catching as many as 50 bass days per angler but limits of 10 bass per angler are hard to come by. Soft plastic grubs in blue, black or purple seemed

Surface water temperatures have moved to around 70 degrees

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Surface water temperatures have moved to around 70 degrees and algae is growing and staining the water. With the warmer surface water temperatures, the trout are moving into deeper water. Anglers continue to report good fishing for trout from boats or float tubes, while shore anglers report fair fishing in the mornings. Bass fishing is good and a few wipers have been showing up in

Very little change here as continue to report good fishing

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Very little change here as continue to report good fishing for chunky 13-to-16-inch trout and smaller bass as the surface water temperatures climb higher to around 70 degrees. The best trout fishing is from a float tube or a small cartop boat or canoe as the boat ramp is unusable. Fly fishermen seem to be having the best luck using leech, wooly buggers and chironomids.

Anglers continue to report good fishing

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Anglers continue to report 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. Spin fishermen should try small gold or silver spinners. Bait anglers should have some luck with worms under a

South Fork Reservoir Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Surface water temperatures have moved into high 60’s to low 70’s and fishing for bass has been good. With the warmer temperatures and sunny days, the algae and the weed beds at the south end of the lake are growing. Fishing has been fair to good for 15-to 20-inch trout for spin, bait and fly rodders from boats or float tubes but just fair for

Cave Lake is lowered to minimum and unfishable

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Cave Lake is lowered to minimum and unfishable. Fish stocking will resume once the dam repairs are completed. Cave Lake is closed to fishing due to shorelines that are very soft and dangerous due to the complete saturation of the soil as the lake is drained. By draining the lake, it should shave a couple of years off the re-building of the dam and cut

Cleve Creek was flowing at a very low 1.6 cfs

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Due to a poor snowpack, Cleve Creek is flowing well below normal and is experiencing late summer conditions early in the summer. Fishing is difficult except in the pools. As of July 8, Cleve Creek was flowing at a very low 1.6 cfs which is about 14% of normal.

Cold Creek Reservoir Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Very little change here as the water level is good and anglers can expect to catch hatchery size, 8-to-10-inch rainbows. Fishing for Largemouth Bass will be slow because the drawdowns over the last few winters but there are a few bass left in the reservoir. To help the bass fishery, anglers can return any black bass to the reservoir. NDOW will continue to work to

Comins Lake Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Not much change here as surface water temperatures are in the high 60’s to 70 degrees and fishing is fair to good for quality 15-to-18-inch rainbow trout and good for bass. Although not as common, anglers will be to catch Brown Trout and Tiger Trout in the lake. These fish are currently running between 12 and 16 inches, however there is potential to hook into
