The Nevada side of the Truckee River is the best option right now

by MATT KOLES
Mild November weather on the Truckee River. Cold nights, mild afternoons. No rain and snow in sight, at least for now. Maybe mid month? Hopefully, because we need it. The rivers clear and low and cold. She came up there for a bit, but with the lack of rain all month, she’s back down. Tough fishing for the most part on the CA side. The Nevada side

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY
Yep, I had to put myself in here sometime and right after a Thanksgiving seemed to be a great idea. I had gone out after a local stocking of the rainbow trout and brought home a couple. Other anglers were staying until they had the limit of 5 fish. I stayed until I got a couple for dinner. I am using spinners to start with

A few reports of small macs with the colder temps

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
A few reports of small macs with the colder temps. This is a good time of year to find larger rainbows and browns near the surface, making them accessible to shore anglers. Look for moving shadows early and late in the day around larger structure. Shore anglers are using smaller spinners for planted trout and larger spoons for larger rainbows and browns. Toplining for large

Fall has been great so far at Squaw

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fall has been great so far at Squaw. Good trout numbers and size still being reported. Fishing can be productive through the winter months especially on the northwest portion of the reservoir where warm springs keep water temperatures up.  Fishing for rainbow and brown trout in the deeper portions of the reservoir in the winter can also be productive in areas free of ice. Anglers

Fishing has been excellent this fall

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing has been excellent this fall for both bass and trout. Access seems to be good for now and should stay that way unless we see some good rain or snow. The reservoir is fishing well at both the inlet and the dam with spoons and spinners. Jigs near deep drop-offs and off rocky points are still producing a few smallmouth bass. Trout will likely

If flows hang on fishing should be very good this winter east of town

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Flows are back up to 200 cfs after bouncing all over the place during the heavy rains. If flows hang on fishing should be very good this winter east of town. Lockwood is an excellent place to fish the east Truckee River if you’ve never done it. Fly fisherman can look forward to some blue winged olive mayflies as the winter progresses. Small dark nymphs

Flows are prime on the Carson

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Flows are prime on the Carson currently at 200cfs near Carson City. Fishing has been good to fair near broken dam. The river has not yet been stocked after the heavy rain so fishing has been hit or miss. Small dark spinners and streamer flies have been best. Prime temperatures have fish willing to chase moving lures in protected pools and runs.

Topaz has been good for trout from shore

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Topaz has been good for trout from shore. Trout fishing should continue to get better as the cold sets in. Worms off the bottom have been productive near deep drop-offs for bait fisherman. Spin fisherman have been using heavy spoons and kastmasters to get to deeper water.  

Fishing during late warm afternoons have been best

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The sandy shallow beaches are still producing a few white bass on bright flies and spinners but fishing has slowed with water levels rising. Fishing during late warm afternoons have been best.

Low flows are making for tough fishing

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Low flows are making for tough fishing recently on the East Walker. Currently flows are low, roughly 20cfs.  Fish are definitely concentrated in the larger pools. Fly fisherman using small nymphs under larger dries (dry/dropper) are picking up the occasional good trout. Fish are spooky so be sure to watch your shadows and keep your approach to the water quiet.
