All sections of the river seem to be pretty tough overall lately

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
The Ranch fished about the same as the California side this weekend with a couple anglers getting into 5 or 6 fish per day and other anglers getting into none or just 1 or 2. All sections of the river seem to be pretty tough overall lately, including the Rosachi, Sceirine, and both the upper and lower sections in California. The anglers who did have

Pyramid Lake has seen a reboot in fishing success this week

by RENO FLY SHOP
Pyramid Lake has seen a reboot in fishing success this week. The post spawn bite has started and will conclude the big push of the annual spring spawn. Big LCT are hungry after not feeding the last few weeks and are eager to chase flies. Streamer fishing has been most productive at a growing number of beaches. Using flies like Jan’s Tui Chub or bigger

Following the spring storm this past week, the Truckee boasted some great fishing throughout multiple sections

by RENO FLY SHOP
Following the spring storm this past week, the Truckee boasted some great fishing throughout multiple sections. We saw warmer days following the storm which resulted in increased feeding activity. Here in Reno, flows have hovered between 800-950cfs. While flows are higher than they’ve been in the past few months, the spring flows we are experiencing now are still very fishable and yielding impressive results. If

Late April Fish Report- Pyramid Lake

by BEARFISH ALLIANCE STAFF
Holy Smokes, we had a run of what seemed like endless weather events in northern Nevada that made the fishing tough at the Mid for a while, but nevertheless when that window of opportunity opened it would turn on for the anglers.  The fish are on the tail end of the spawn, so look to shift your techniques accordingly. Right now we are having good luck

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.

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
