Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY
Look where we live, I am just saying we have some great fishing opportunities here below the Davis Dam along the Colorado River. Our local and visiting anglers have been having some success along our shores and our pristine water way. Our local angler Dave Ensrud landed a nice striper in the Upper Big Bend Area. He was using anchovies for bait while fishing from his

Striper and bass have been biting more frequently throughout the lake

by PYRAMID LAKE STAFF
Striper and bass have been biting more frequently throughout the lake on various baits both from the shoreline and from boats. Soft plastics like smaller paddle tail baits on lead heads have been working well for stripers along with kastmasters and jerk baits. Sardines, anchovies, and lugworms have also been working well to come across the stripers throughout the day down deep, anywhere up to

Lahontan Reservoir Fishing Report

by LAHONTAN STATE RECREATION AREA
Wiper/ White Bass: These fish are becoming more catchable. Most are reported in the narrows near the Dam. A 22 pounder was recently caught! Try white or shiny lures. Catfish: Starting to pop up in deeper waters. Try getting near the dam with cut bait and worms. Walleye: No Report Carp: Out in full force! They put up a good fight and are easy to catch. Try corn

Nymphing is still going to be your best bet here

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The Ranch is fishing very much like the rest of the Nevada side, just not as much pressure of course. We’ve had both really good reports and some not so good reports come in from down there. Nymphing is still going to be your best bet here as well. We have quite a few reservations on the books so if you want to book some

Very mixed reports from the Nevada side of the river lately

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
The East is running at about 35cfs right now. We’ve had some very mixed reports from the Nevada side of the river lately, some anglers are reporting really good days with 15+ fish caught per day while other anglers are reporting much slower days with only 1 or 2 fish caught per day. The successful anglers we’ve spoken with have been doing the best with

Anglers can now access the Bruneau over the Gold Creek Road

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
In the eastern region stream flows are up from last week due to the shot of moisture on Thursday night. However, they are below the median for this time of year, many well below. Anglers can now access the Bruneau over the Gold Creek Road. The recent precipitation may make for some muddy driving conditions on the back roads and Waterlog Summit on the way

Very little change from past couple of weeks

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Very little change from past couple of weeks as the lake is nearly full and anglers are catching trout.  The surface water temperatures are still in the mid 40’s due to the precipitation and colder air temperatures.  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,

Flows may make fishing difficult in the narrow parts of the creek

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
In the eastern region stream flows are down a bit from last week. Most streams are below the median for this time of year, many well below. Earlier this week the road was plowed all the way to the trailhead, but with the recent snow, expect winter driving conditions for a bit. As of April 22, Lamoille Creek was flowing at 27.1 cfs. Flows may

As of April 22, the East Fork of the Owyhee near Mountain City gauging station was flowing at 133 cfs

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
In the eastern region stream flows are up from last week due to the shot of moisture on Thursday night. However, they are below the median for this time of year, many well below. The East Fork of the Owyhee immediately below Wildhorse Dam is flowing at a trickle as little water is coming out of the dam. However, this is normal for this time

Very small dry flies have also been effective on these warmer afternoons

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Harrison Pass was dry and open for driving to the marsh this week.  With the recent snow anglers should still be able to cross the pass, but have good snow tires and four wheel drive may be needed for a few days.  Not much has changed as far as fishing conditions as fishing has been fair to good for 13 to 18-inch fish depending upon

Fishing in the coves as well as in the Hendricks and Penrod Arms from shore has been good for trout

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Not much has changed since last week as fishing for trout continues to be good for trout but slow for perch after the perch die-off.  Surface water temperatures were in the low 40’s earlier this week and with the precipitation and cooler temperatures probably won’t climb much over the next week. Those who have a boat will find that the northwest side of the lake

Fishing continues to be good for spin, bait and fly rodders

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Little has changed in fishing conditions and the fishing has been good for trout at South Fork. Mid-week surface water temperatures ranged from 49 to 52 degrees, but with Thursday night’s snowfall expect them to drop a few degrees. However, fishing continues to be good for spin, bait and fly rodders with most anglers fishing from Jet Ski Beach, on the northeast side of the

For fly rodders, this time of year chironomid patterns are recommended

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The new boat dock is in the water and ready for boaters.  Surface water temperatures were pushing 50 degrees before the recent front moved through the area. Expect them to have dropped back into the high 40’s. Anglers report good spring fishing for quality rainbow trout from shore with reports of a few tiger and brown trout being caught. The lake was stocked with approximately

Anglers will do well with a variety of night crawlers, PowerBait, and spinners.

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The lake ice free.  The reservoir is at approximately 60% of capacity and slowly rising.  Fishing has been good. Anglers will do well with a variety of night crawlers, PowerBait, and spinners. For bait anglers nightcrawlers and rainbow PowerBait are the best bet. Small spinners, spoons and Kastmasters in gold for those throwing hardware should work.  For fly rodders, this time of year chironomid patterns

It seems that the fish at Pyramid have really begun to focus on their spawn

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
As is the case on other waters, it seems that the fish at Pyramid have really begun to focus on their spawn and the bite here has also slowed significantly unless you are opting to fish around the spawning zones here at the lake such as Pelican, the north nets or around popcorn where fish will congregate this time of year based on where they

Flows on the river this week as the flows hold around 500 CFS in Glenshire

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
Another week of snowy weather dropped over a foot in town and 2-3 feet along our peaks which should keep the Truckee fishing for just a little longer this summer. With this storm coming in cold very little of the precipitation came down as rain and therefore we haven’t seen a significant increase in flows on the river this week as the flows hold around

Surprise Catch at Liberty Pond!

by FISH REPORTS STAFF

Fishing has been good for fly fishermen

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The road was in good shape earlier this week but with the recent precipitation may be muddy.  However expect it to dry out quickly by the early next week.  The lake level is still low with the water only covering a foot or two of the concrete at the very bottom of the boat ramp. There is not enough to launch a boat. Fishing has

The reservoir is filling nicely

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 it was stocked with approximately 1,500 trout the end of March. Expect good fishing for 10 to 14 inch fish using the same techniques and presentations as at South Fork.   NDOW will begin rebuilding the Largemouth Bass fishery with augmentations this summer.
