Southern beaches are producing decent fish from shore

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Southern beaches from blockhouse to popcorn are producing decent fish for the shore anglers fly fishing and spin fishing. Look for a low pressure weather change in the next couple of weeks to break up the schools of bait and move more fish into the shallow waters. Anglers should try using strike indicators with a balanced leech or stripping flies with black wooly buggers. Look

Anglers fishing the upper river should concentrate their efforts in the deeper pools. Towards Glenshire, there is some dry fly fishing from 10am to 2pm, but mostly indicator nymphing with worms, small bwo nymphs, and midge patterns such

November came in like a lion on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

November came in like a lion on the Truckee River, with big high flows, after basically a trickle. Now we’re settling back into late fall, early winter flows. Cold nights, and mild days. Continued warmth on the forecast, fingers crossed we get more snow before the end of the month. It’s looking like the end of this 21 day dry cycle might bring another AR type

Streamer Clinic, Saturday November 27th. If I could access my old posts, I’d have a long write up on what to expect for the streamer clinic. My sites still a bit jacked. Anyways, kinda last minute clinic, but the weather is supposed to be nice for a few weeks and streamer fishing sure is fun going into Winter. In this clinic we will fish streamers on my

Things have been improving at Pyramid Lake since the significant rainfall a few weeks ago. Water clarity has improved and the new fresh water that fell on the lake and came in from the river and tributaries has mixed making much more favorable conditions for the trout to go on their bite. We are in that time in the season when we begin to transition

Truckee River has cleared up and flows are just above average flow

by RENO FLY SHOP

The big Truckee River has cleared up and flows are just above average flow at the downtown Reno gage. These flows, just over 400 cfs, are great levels to access some of the less fished spots on the river. The fish have more than enough water to move around but are concentrated in typical spots to be able to find. Bugs have also been somewhat predictable

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

The trout fishing is doing very well here along the shores of the Colorado River.This is mostly due to our federal hatchery the Willow Beach Hatchery which is supplying us rainbow trout. The trout are raised in raceways at the hatchery and brought to us for a few months every year. the stocking sites are Davis camp our Community park and Rotary park. So below the Davis dam we have a great fishery and the season is on. Our local anglers are having great success using various techniques. Spinners and trout jigs are producing well along with night crawlers and power bait. Our local anglers Mark Kuchczynski and Ron luck landed their limit at Rotary park using spinners and a trout jug in the cricket pattern. While Gerry Ward landed his limit at community park using a trout jig with a green tail. I have gotten word that in the community park area a few of the larger stripers have been spotted and supposedly landed in this area so I do hope to see a couple of these lager fish . Up on lake Mohave there have been a few small mouth bass landed in the 4 to 5 pound range using various plastics like the z-mans ned
