Nevada Fish Reports


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

    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.

Pyramid Lake Fly Fishing Report & Forecast

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
Like a light switch, Pyramid has really turned on with this shift in the weather patterns and this last week has seen some of the best fishing of the year as the low-pressure weather system and the days leading up to the full moon coincided. We expect this weekend to be a bit slower with a few sunny days in the forecast and the waning

Truckee River Fly Fishing Report & Forecast

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The Truckee continues to fish very well and while the cold, clear water conditions persist, the bite can be a little tricky in certain stretches, I.E., along 89-south, or in certain spots in Nevada getting de-watered for Reno’s water source/power generating.  So keep a close eye on the flow charts and choose a section where flows remain the most regulated. Our go-to would be the canyon section,

As of February 19, South Fork of the Humboldt was flowing at 10 cfs

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Not much change here as many streams are still mostly covered in ice due to overnight temperatures in the teens. Flows are similar to last week and shorelines are snow and ice covered and very slippery. Access is iffy to many of these waters due to springlike muddy conditions, so leave a trip plan and go prepared to spend the night. With colder water temperatures

Fishing has been fair for 13 to 16-inch fish

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Someone punched through the drift at the top of Harrison Pass, but it is still iffy to go over the pass especially with the recent snow.  Only those vehicles with high clearance and good tires should attempt it.  There are still some drifts on the west side of the pass that could cause some problems.  Carry chains and a shovel.  It is still advised to

Fishing For Trout Continues to Be Good

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Very little change here as the ice is averaging 15 inches of good clear ice with a skiff of snow on top to make walking easier.  There is little snow along the shorelines so snowmobiles aren’t recommended.  Fishing for trout continues to be good using PowerBait or worms fished about four to six feet below the ice though a few are being caught throughout the

The ice here is unsafe and anglers should stay off

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The ice here is unsafe and anglers should stay off.  The upside is that from where the river enters the reservoir at the south end to goose island, there is plenty of open water for fishing on the west side of the lake.   Fly fishermen report that fishing has been fair for smaller trout with an occasional fish in the 15 to 20-inch range.  Most

No change here

No change here.  The ice at Comins is ranging between 10 and 15 inches of good hard ice, averaging 13 inches.  There surface is slick  with the warm afternoons melting the surface and then refreezing overnight.

The road into the lake has been plowed and in good shape

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The road into the lake has been plowed and in good shape.  At last report there was eight to 13 inches of good ice with some slick ice on the surface.  Traction devices on boots are recommended.  No recent report from anglers but expect good fishing for trout in the 12 to 15-inch range.  The usual nightcrawlers or PowerBait should work here as well as
