Topaz Lake Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake has come up about 4 ft since my last trip down there. The boat ramp is open and clear. The center dock is the only one available right now. I fished this week with long time fellow angler Don from Carson City. We started trolling about 9:30 and fished until 2pm. I could see big schools of fish everywhere. But the bite was

Colorado River - Davis Dam

by RUSTY

We are having a great striper season along the shores of the Colorado River below Davis Dam. Local angler Kenan Guleryuz is showing off an impressive catch after fishing from shore in the Community Park area using a swimbait. He landed a beautiful 25.02-pound striper measuring 40 inches—an outstanding fish! We also recently had a trout plant at Community Park, which is great news for our

Ice has now formed over the majority of the reservoir

Wild Horse Reservoir

by WILD HORSE STATE RECREATION AREA

Ice has now formed over the majority of the reservoir. Since the ice is still newly formed, we are unsure of thickness and do not recommend being out on it. We are seeing people beginning to ice fish and it is much too early. We will be having warmer temps for the next week or so and we will see how the ice holds up.

After a slow start to the season, the reservoir iced over this past weekend

Wild Horse Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The boat dock has been removed from the water for the winter. After a slow start to the season, the reservoir iced over this past weekend. All ice should be considered unsafe at this time. State Park staff will take ice measurements when it is safe to do so. If ice conditions become safe, trout fishing should be good for fish between 16″ and 22″.

It has been very cold here

East Walker River (NV)

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

The California side of the EW is closed for Winter, just the Nevada side is open now. We haven't had any new news from the East Walker lately, it has been very cold here, if you watch the flows on the river you've noticed that it's been bumped up to about 33 cfs from 22 cfs, the reason for this is because it's been so

Flows on the Truckee River right now are slightly higher than normal for the winter season

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Current Water Conditions With the recent precipitation, flows on the Truckee River right now are slightly higher than normal for the winter season—holding around 51 CFS out of Tahoe City, 174 CFS through the Glenshire area, and 631 CFS at Farad. The bite is slower this time of year, but can still be rewarding for anyone wanting to make the trek through the snow. Snow banks

The lake really kick into gear over the last few weeks

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

We have seen the lake really kick into gear over the last few weeks and while this week slowed down with the nicer weather and the full moon, it has certainly fished more like we’ve seen in past years. All methods are having their day (or maybe even hour) and we are finding them on both leeches and midges under the indicator as well as

The Truckee has dropped back into stable flows with cold and clear conditions this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee has dropped back into stable flows with cold and clear conditions this week after a few weeks of overly wet storms, which caused the river to periodically run high and off color. With a return to conditions similar to the month of December, LBS (Little Black Stuff) will be your best friend right now. Midges and baetis make up the bulk of this category,

Pyramid Lake has fished very well to begin the new year

by RENO FLY SHOP

Pyramid Lake has fished very well to begin the new year. The storms over the holiday encouraged fish into the shallows—resulting in a lot of feeding fish. Both the strip bite and indicator bite have been good at Pyramid Lake on any given day. Depending on the type of beach you are fishing, you will want to adjust your approach. On cloudy days, the shallow and

Mid January Truckee River Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River has seen dramatic shifts in flow due to the holiday storms that rolled through the West Coast. Targeting the times with lower flow below 800 cfs at the Reno gauge is your best bet. Fish have been keying largely on attractor patterns with the off-color water conditions following a storm. Bright attractor patterns like the Squirminator are great for grabbing a trout's
