Water temps are dropping into the low 50s and water levels are low

Jiggs Reservoir (Zunino Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Water temps are dropping into the low 50s and water levels are low. Trout catch rates are fair to good. Anglers are using small, flashy spinners or PowerBait combined with small pieces of worm under a bobber. Bass and bluegill catch rates are slowing down with the cooler weather. Finesse baits should work for bass. Bluegill are most likely to hit worms under a bobber.

Finding the LCT at shallower depths

by RENO FLY SHOP

It’s been a warm fall, but water temps are dropping quickly. Surface temperatures started the day around 55° and were only 57° by the end of a recent trip. We are seeing a lot of Daphnia along the shore. The trout are eating those as well as anything they can get their mouths on. To imitate Daphnia, a notoriously difficult prey item to imitate, I

Fly fishing on the Truckee River has been great through the first half of November

by RENO FLY SHOP

Fly fishing on the Truckee River has been great through the first half of November. Fish are keying on a variety of food sources and have started to congregate in slower water. It looks like we have a storm coming in before the weekend. This should raise the river slightly and put some color in it. The brown trout spawn is well underway on the Nevada

The lake is still producing fish when you can get out

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake is still producing fish when you can get out. Jointed Rapalas in black and silver have been most productive. If you’re using lead core line, use an F5 or F6 black/silver or perch pattern. Shore anglers have done fair off the north end of the lake with PowerBait or inflated nightcrawlers.

Stripers are biting on Lake Mohave

by RUSTY

We’re hoping for some rainbow trout soon, but in the meantime it’s all about the stripers up on Lake Mohave. Trolling, casting, or using anchovies for bait fishing is all producing fish. Our local angler Dirk Sloan and his wife Jane went out for a boat ride on the lake. They had their visiting daughter Amy and grandma Joan Ransberger on board. Dirk decided to try

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

Colorado River - Davis Dam

by RUSTY

With the shutdown, the trout fishing is pretty much on hold, but anglers are having great luck landing stripers and some smallmouth bass up on Lake Mohave. Trolling has been working well using bucktail jigs and various swimbaits. Anchovies have also been successful at the mouths of several coves. Near and around Princess Cove—and the nearby coves—are great spots. Trolling across Telephone Cove on the Nevada

The lake flipped last week, and the fish are dispersed amongst most of the water colum

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The lake flipped last week, and the fish are dispersed amongst most of the water column right now. With a cold, windy storm this week and another substantial storm pushing through next week, we predict the shore bite to start up next week. For those heading out this week, using a boat or a float tube with a fast sinking line and small tui chub pattern

The Truckee continues to kick out some stellar fishing

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee continues to kick out some stellar fishing. With stable, above average flows, and good water clarity along the entire river, fishing is good pretty much everywhere right now. From Tahoe City to out past Sparks, there’s good trout fishing to be had on the majority of the Truckee, and this combined with the light crowds makes now a great time to explore some

The lake is cooling and this weather system will have them cruising closer to shore

by THE FLY SHOP

Anglers rolling back through the shop all have big grins and some nice pictures of fish. The lake is cooling and this weather system will have them cruising closer to shore, so get the ladders and waders out. The Lahontans are eating Tui chubs for the time being. Good flies would be Zach's Pyramid Minnow in Tui chub and white. Balanced Leeches tied in lighter

Good Fall fishing on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Flows have remained good, at least below Boca, and the weather has been mild. Look for the weather to change this week and look more like Winter at times, but nothing to extreme yet. Flows are about 460 here in Hirschdale, and about 500 cfs East of Reno. That's very good for us this late in the year. Cold overnight lows in Truckee. Start a bit later

The lake has been up and down depending on weather and time of day

by RENO FLY SHOP

The lake has been up and down depending on weather and time of day. Mornings and evenings have been fishing the best, and on overcast/stormy days the bite has been active throughout the day. Surface temps have been peaking at 60°F. We had some algae at the beginning of last week telling us that the lake has “turned over”,but with warm weather in the forecast

The Truckee River is fishing well as we finish off the month of October

The Truckee River is fishing well as we finish off the month of October. Fish activity seems to have picked up quite a bit with the cooler temperatures. We hope you get out on the water this weekend! With November beginning, we urge you to wade with a keen eye. Brown trout have begun their spawn in many parts of the river in shallow water. Avoid
