Ain’t no party like a midge party! Pyramid Fish Report Late Feb

by BEARFISH ALLIANCE STAFF
I’ll cut right to it and admit that I am not a big midge fan. Never have been. Not sure what it is, part of me makes me feel like I am betraying the pure soul, style, and artistry of fly fishing by indirectly euro nymphing. Then again, we are hanging these midges under indicators and roping fish bigger that you would in any river…..so

Baby it's cold out side!

Baby it's cold out side !!!! Fishing was very good even with the cold East wind blowing. Great family, fun fishing with you.

Pyramid saw some of the best fishing of the year over the last week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
Pyramid saw some of the best fishing of the year over the last week as the last storm system pushed through dropping a dusting of snow at lake level. Just a few days ago local angler JD Richey got to hand a 27-pound fish, the biggest fish thus far this year, but there’s no doubt that there’s a good possibility of larger fish swimming around

The Truckee continues to fish in its typical form this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
With daytime highs expected just above freezing this week, we recommend fishing mostly mid-day through the afternoon after the sun hits the water, allowing water temps to come up and both the fish and bugs to become more active. We have another shift in the weather pattern towards the end of the week with a warmer system expected to lay down a mix of rain

Exciting news out of Douglas County!

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Exciting news out of Douglas County! Douglas County, Nevada began working with us in March 2020 to secure a federal grant, which we administer, to supplement the costs of a project to enhance the safe use of boating access facilities at the Topaz Lake Recreation Area. We awarded Douglas County with a grant for $393,000, which was used to install a breakwater device; effectively shielding

Fishing at Pyramid Lake has been amazing

by RENO FLY SHOP
Fishing at Pyramid Lake has been amazing. Still not a huge number of fish, but the quality fish have been really good. We are finding these fish looking for easy meals in somewhat shallower water. Most of the indicator bites have been in less than 9 feet with the most right around 6 feet. Bright midges have been working best. Balanced leeches are starting to

Nymphing has been the primary way that we have been catching trout on the Truckee River

by RENO FLY SHOP
The cold temperatures and snow have made getting to the river difficult. Ice has formed on the river and a few inches of snow remain on the banks that are protected from the sun. It will take a few days of warmer weather and temperatures to get the fish back into a feeding mood, but it won’t be too long.  Before the storms fishing was good

The lake level has come up a foot over the last week

by DOUG BUSEY
The lake level has come up a foot over the last week. NDOW has planted 1300 lbs of Tiger trout this last week. Fishing was fair for boaters using Rapalas or flashers. Shore angling has been hit and miss. The county ramp is open with some construction going on. Topaz Landing Marina is open for boat launching and Mooring. For more information call 775-266-3550.

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY
And yep, it's me again (and Willow my fixed feral cat). I usually and always try and use our local and visiting anglers. Our weather has been so bad that even the hardest of folk are staying in and waiting out the storm so to say. These two I landed using a z-mans tubez jig in the pp&j (peanut butter and jelly) color rigged with

Some skim ice along the shoreline

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Despite recent snow flurries, all area reservoirs are ice free, but anglers will find some skim ice along the shoreline. Rainbow trout have been eating well while waiting for the ice to melt off. Action should pick up as water temperatures grow warmer.

Ice on the reservoir was estimated at 12 inches thick over the weekend

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Ice on the reservoir was estimated at 12 inches thick over the weekend. A few anglers caught rainbow trout on worms and PowerBait though the bite was slower than usual for the reservoir. The campground and all facilities are open.

The water is free of ice and starting to rise

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The water is free of ice and starting to rise. Only a few anglers have been seen recently, so pressure is light. Trout have been taking PowerBait in orange or green colorations. Spinners and spoons are good options for lure anglers. Fly-anglers may want to give midges and nymphs a test run. Campgrounds and all facilities are open.

Weekly plants of rainbow trout below Davis Dam have kept anglers busy on the water

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
 Weekly plants of rainbow trout below Davis Dam have kept anglers busy on the water. The trout are biting on worms, PowerBait, and Mice Tails. The best fishing is being found from the dam downstream through Casino Row to just above the Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area. Largemouth bass action has begun to pick up. The fish are hitting plastics. Most stripers

Anglers are reeling in stripers at both the north and south ends of the reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Anglers are reeling in stripers at both the north and south ends of the reservoir. Boat anglers have been most successful with anchovies fished off the bottom. Smallmouth bass are chasing swimbaits and plastics around the Cottonwood Cove area. Look for them and catfish in shoreline vegetation and along underwater shelves.

NDOW Stocking Ponds Every 2 Weeks Throughout the Winter

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The Nevada Department of Wildlife has been stocking the community fishing ponds in the Las Vegas area about every two weeks through the winter. The trout typically take a variety of baits and lures, but mealworms often work well this time of year for most fish species in the ponds

Bass action is already picking up in the Overton Arm

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Anglers are getting out early in the day before the winds pick up. As water temperatures continue to warm in the coming weeks, black bass and catfish will become more active. Bass action is already picking up in the Overton Arm where anglers have found good luck with watermelon-colored worms and Jerkbaits. Striped bass have been most active in the evenings. The fish have been

It's Time

by PYRAMID FLY CO.
We have had some straight silly days fishing lately. Some days one may never be able to repeat in their lifetime. But what happens when it happens more than once? If this sounds like something up your alley now is the time. The fish are pilled up and chowing, all it take is a little weather and it's game on! Now that the summits are

A little taste of weather and it can make all the difference

by PYRAMID FLY CO.
    All it takes is a little taste of weather and it can make all the difference. Emilio with a gorgeous hen on his first day on the water. Numerous days allow anglers to put the puzzle pieces together, and hopefully live up one of those winter days.
