Pyramid has seen some good days over the last week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
Pyramid has seen some good days over the last week, and while these days have mostly been when weather was present, as the fish get closer to spawn, we should continue to increasingly consistent action using midges or other nymphs under the indicator. Downsizing flies has become more productive as we come into the latter part of the season and anglers using sizes 12-14 midges have

Fishing attractor nymphs will be a good bet

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
With some slightly cooler weather this week we have seen the rapid melt of our less-than-average snowpack begin to taper off and flows are a bit more sustained as of now. With no more weather in the immediate forecast we are lucky to see below freezing nights that can help prolong the melt off in hopes of seeing cooler water later into the summer. As the

There is no ice on Willow Creek and the boat ramp is accessible

by OR DEPARTMENT OF FISH & WILDLIFE STAFF
There is no ice on Willow Creek and the boat ramp is accessible. With the recent warming trend this is great place for anglers looking to get out and catch trout, bass and crappie this time of year. There’s lots of bank access and also a fishing dock. Anglers should concentrate on the areas where there is structure early morning and late afternoon. Fish will

With water temperatures climbing, trout action has been limited

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
With water temperatures climbing, trout action has been limited. Seasonal trout plants are done for the time being but should resume when cooler temperatures return in the fall. Bluegill and catfish action, on the other hand, should improve as the fish become more active. Night crawlers and mealworms are the bait of choice for bluegill while green plastics and poppers will entice bass. The limit

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY
We have some good news and that is our striper bite is starting. There are anglers reporting stripers being landed in various locations around our area. This is happening mostly here below the Davis Dam on the shores of the Colorado River. Our angler that I am next two is Lillian Reichow. While she was fishing along with a group of various anglers in the city’s

A cold morning, North wind blowing.   Got us some good ones, cold doesn't bother Colorado. Thanks guys, it was a fun trip

Late March Pyramid Lake Report

by BEARFISH ALLIANCE STAFF
Lot's of great fish being caught, that is for sure. Seems like we had a run on where every outing we would get into fish in the 14-20# class. Not seeing a lot of high numbers right now in quantity of fish being caught, but if you soak that bobber long enough you are bound to get rewarded....don't miss those dunks. Strip game is decent

Good Spring fly fishing on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES
Spring’s always pretty good. Not a lot of numbers, but good fish when you hook ’em. We are experiencing some run-off. Flows have come up to almost 700 cubes here in the Hirsch. Pretty good vis though. This is the time to get the big dogs, trust me. Fish the edges first. Best thing to do is -go in with the streamer first. Nymph later. Trouts can’t

A good morning of fishing before the storm arrives

Pyramid saw an off week of fishing with warm days and little to no wind

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
Pyramid saw an off week of fishing with warm days and little to no wind. In another few weeks as the fish get closer to their annual spawn, we should see the weather become less of a factor on the fishing but as of now the stormy, overcast days continue to be your best bet. With that said, this small storm expected on Sunday and

With the flows on the river in an upward trend, conditions are changing on a daily basis

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
As the days get longer and we begin to see temperatures stay above freezing, we have seen the river begin to swell with the early stages of spring runoff this week. The small storm expected early next week will only slightly delay this and around the middle of the week we will be right back to warmer weather which should continue this trend What does this

The cutthroat are getting shallow and are bringing a lot of their pre-spawn behavior

by RENO FLY SHOP
The cutthroat are getting shallow and are bringing a lot of their pre-spawn behavior. The fish are still biting when there is some wind and weather. Both the retrieve and indicator fishing has been working with indicator taking a slight advantage when there is little to no weather. With that being said, a lot of our indicator bites are shallower than 6 feet and no

Rainbow trout have begun their spawn

by RENO FLY SHOP
Skwala stoneflies have made themselves seen this week. This is a little later than usual but we’re happy to see them as are the trout. Larger flies like this are easier for trout to detect in dirty water, making the inflow of runoff a happy coincidence. Otherwise, nymphing has still been best, dirty water can be good for streamer fishing and fishing a worm or
