Limits This Morning

by HANS MOXLEY

It was a decent bite this morning, not the greatest but we ended up with our limits. Great job guys !!!!

Small and largemouth bass fishing continued to improve

by CHAD BURTON AND CHRIS BORDEN

The lake held at 90 percent of capacity with water temperatures the mid-sixties. Small and largemouth bass fishing continued to improve, and the bite could really take off soon. Bass are spawning, and anglers used Senkos, Texas rigs, and jigs to fool fish. Small shad-colored swimbaits and jerkbaits worked for bites in the mornings. Striper anglers fed sardines, anchovies, and nightcrawlers to the jailbirds in

With most anglers gone for the season, Pyramid Lake is quiet most days

by RENO FLY SHOP

With most anglers gone for the season, Pyramid Lake is quiet most days. Many other waters are fishing well, so anglers are drawn elsewhere this time of year. However if you make it out this time of year can still provide some great chances. Pyramid Lake fishes well in deeper water best accessed from a boat or float tube. For the remainder of May, water

European Style Nymphing is the preferred method of anglers this time of year on the Truckee

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River has come down in flow in the last few days. We had a cold storm blow through town this past week and really cooled everything off. As a result, runoff slowed and river flows dropped to under 800cfs. Clarity has improved considerably following the drop in flow throughout the Nevada side. Water temperature also decreased here in town which shifted the types

The mornings have seemed to provide the most consistent action

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

As we come towards the end of the fishing season out at Pyramid, this will be our last report of the year for this lake. Starting next week we will switch gears to our local still waters. Although this is technically the tail end of the season for Pyramid, the fishing still remains fair, thanks in part to this cold and wet spring thus far. The

The Truckee saw some fluctuations in flows over the last week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee saw some fluctuations in flows over the last week with the late season snow but has seemed to mostly stabilize at this point. Near Glenshire, we are seeing flows around 500 CFS while around Farad, we’ve seen them hang around 1000. This is big water along most of the river and the name of the game right now will be finding the type

The lake is full

Jakes Creek Reservoir (Boies Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The lake is full, surface water temperatures have dipped back to the low 50’s, and anglers are catching trout. Worms seem to be the presentation of choice, though small spinners should also work for those who want to throw some hardware. Fly rodders should be using chironomids, PT nymphs, hare’s ears, small black or olive buggers and leeches. The lake was stocked with approximately 3,000

Harrison Pass is driveable

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Surface water temperatures dipped back into the high 40’s

Wild Horse Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Surface water temperatures dipped back into the high 40’s with the colder weather and precipitation. Fishing continues to be good with most anglers having good luck in both Penrod and Hendricks Arms. Fishing in the coves as well as in the Hendricks and Penrod Arms from shore has been good for trout. Bass fishing is still very slow with the cold water temperatures. Perch fishing

Fishing has been good for fly fishermen

Wilson Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing has been good for fly fishermen using leech, wooly buggers and chironomids. No report on any bass. Anglers should use the same presentations, colors and techniques that are being used at South Fork Reservoir. Since the big question every spring is when will the lake spill, with the low water levels and lack of snow pack, it probably won’t spill this year as the

The road to Angel Lake was plowed a two weeks ago

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The road to Angel Lake was plowed a two weeks ago but with recent precipitation, expect winter driving conditions to the lake. There is only a very small bit of open water at the outflow by the spillway. With the warmer weather forecast expect thaw/freeze cycle to continue making spots on the road slick with ice, especially early in the day. It will be a

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

The reservoir is filling nicely and has been stocked

Cold Creek Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

This winter repairs to the outlet structure and the reservoir bottom were completed, thanks to Kinross Gold. The reservoir is filling nicely and has been stocked with almost 8,000 trout so far this spring. Expect good fishing for 10 to 12-inch fish using the same techniques and presentations as at South Fork. NDOW will begin rebuilding the Largemouth Bass fishery with augmentations this summer.

Surface water temperatures are in the low 50’s

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Surface water temperatures are in the low 50’s and fishing continues to be good for trout. Nightcrawlers have been working though anglers have also been doing well using PowerBait.

Anglers will do well with a variety of night crawlers

Illipah Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Surface water temperatures are still hovering around 50 degrees and fishing has been fair to good. Water levels continue to slowly improve.
