Shoreline Anglers Are Catching Limits

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Shoreline anglers are catching the 5-fish limit of rainbow trout using jigs and worms. The striped bass bite is slow, but swimbaits and anchovies are producing a few catches in the deeper water. One lucky angler reeled in a 13-pound striper from his boat. Homemade stink baits and corn are working well for catfish in marshy areas.

Winds kept many anglers off Lake Mohave over the weekend. Few reports have come in on the black bass bite, and striped bass fishing is hit and miss from shore. Boaters are reporting better success for stripers, as the fish are feeding around 50 feet or deeper. Trout swimbaits and umbrella jigs are working well for trollers. At Willow Beach, green and yellow PowerBait or

The Lake Has Been Fishing Well for Mid Winter

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS

The lake has been fishing really well for mid-Winter/January. The water temperatures are at their winter lows around 42-43 degrees. This usually means, low fish totals and the occasional cruiser with plenty of days when you wonder if there are any fish in the lake at all. Pyramid will always kick out big fish no matter the season with the Pilot Peak strain of Lahontan

Truckee is Fishing Well For January

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS

The Truckee is fishing really well for January. As usual, the Nevada side is easily the best. The flows are low due to the lack of storms and snowpack, but the river is in great shape.

Fishing on The Nevada Side Has Been Really Good Lately

East Walker River (NV)

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS

Fishing on the Nevada side of the East Walker has been really good lately. The warmer weather we have had has freed the river from any anchor ice and access is great. Fish are active and happy. The water is really low at 20 CFS and is the only downside to fishing right now. The flows have remained at this level for weeks now and

Calm Before The Storm

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

This week we have that ugly high pressure rearing it’s head again, and it’s got all of us wondering when we are gonna get another storm system.

But as we slide into next week the pattern changes and we have some wind, clouds and low pressure on the horizon. All

Pyramid Lake Guides Fishing Report

Decent River Fishing on The Truckee

by MATT KOLES

Decent Winter fishing on the Truckee River. Be nice to get some storms rolling through. Mild weather now, maybe next week, fingers crossed. When I say decent, I mean, we’re getting some fish.
