Finally Some Seasonable Temps

by MATT KOLES

Finally some seasonable temps. Switched to fall this weekend on the Truckee River. Cold overnight lows, and mild afternoons. Enjoy it while it lasts. Flows continue to remain good for mid-October. Surprised, we have this much water coming down. About 440 cfs here. So good flows everywhere below Boca. Skinny up top, anywhere above the inlet at Boca towards Tahoe City. Your best nymphing now will be mid-morning

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

The Ranch is also fishing pretty well these days with some very good dry/dropper days as well as some good nymphing days. With the cooler water temperatures the fish are very happy and healthy with lots of browns and good numbers of rainbows being caught down there. Give us a call ahead of time if you want to book some time on the ranch.

Pyramid Lake Update

by DOUG BUSEY

There has been some controversy on when the lake may open this fall. The lake usually opens on October 1st, but as of now they are still closed to all non tribal members. You may also want to visit their website. The Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe has also considered raising the day use fishing permit to $30. Another proposal was to raise the fee 25

Flows Have Been Bouncing Around A Bit

by RENO FLY SHOP

320 CFS today at the downtown gauge, flows have been bouncing around a bit. Largely due to the end of irrigation season and the turning off the diversions into ditches. Fall is in full swing and the trees have begun to turn. This is often the start to some of the best fishing on the Truckee River and our surrounding waters. While we have seen several caddis

Look where we live super weather and great fishing opportunities. Here below the Davis Dam along the shores of the Colorado River or by boat the striper action remains great.

Truckee River is Fishing Best Below Boca

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

The Truckee River is fishing best below the Boca Reservoir because of the higher flows. Upper river has minimal flows around 70 cfs. If you are fishing upper river, there is some dry fly activity with blue winged olives. Below Hirschdale, caddis and October caddis are working best. Some other patterns to try are crawdads, streamers, and small stone flies. FLOWS: Tahoe City 76 CFS, Glenshire

Kirch Wildlife Management Area

Cold afternoon winds are bringing in some cooler weather. This weekend will bring freezing temperatures so go prepared for the possibilities if planning to camp. Fishing will be good for trout throughout the day. Olive and red flies and lures are recommended to entice trout and bass.

Trout Action is Getting Better

Eagle Valley Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Trout action is getting even better since the days have started cooling off. Cooler weather moving through is making it prime fishing any time of day. Trout will hit night crawlers and spinners. Bass will hit crankbaits later in the day. As aquatic vegetation thins out, fish will be more active toward the shoreline. The launch ramp is still closed to boats with trailers. Please

Check The Weather Conditions Before Heading Up

Echo Canyon Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Check the weather conditions before heading up. There is a chance of light rain over the weekend. Nighttime lows are projected to get down to freezing next week. The water level will remain low creating muddy shorelines. Rainbow trout and bass are taking a variety of lures, flies, and bait. Check for topwater action to see if the fish are rising or holding down low.

Most of The Action Has Been Around Big Bend Area

Colorado River - Laughlin

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Boaters are reportedly catching their limit of striped bass using anchovies. Most of the action is being reported near the Big Bend State Recreation Area with fish weighing between 1 and 3 pounds. One angler caught a larger fish, measuring 35 ½ inches, using a glide bait. Rainbow trout plants are expected within the coming weeks as the temperature begins to drop.

Black Bass Are Showing Up

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

On the reservoir black bass are showing a preference for topwater baits in the early morning. Striper action is picking up from Cottonwood Cove to Davis Dam. Topwater baits, soft plastics on jig heads, and anchovies have proven effective for anglers. Shore anglers are reporting bluegill action just above the dam when using worms. With cooler early morning temperatures, the rainbow trout bite is expected

Anglers Are Finding Good Catfish Action

Las Vegas Urban Ponds

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Anglers are finding good action for catfish. The fish are taking hotdogs and small shrimp. Young anglers have had fun catching small bluegill with meal worms and night crawler pieces.

Hot in the Afternoons, Cold in The Mornings on The Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Continued warm weather. Hot in the afternoons, cold in the mornings on the Truckee River. We need us a change in the weather. Looks like we might get something later in the week. Something is better than nothing. Fishing has been more like September, and less like October. Hopefully, that changes. If we could get some weather, would turn things on a bit. Get some brown trouts

Water Level is Very Low

Jiggs Reservoir (Zunino Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The water level is very low and fishing is fair to poor. Due to low hot water this summer there was a trout die-off so trout fishing is nonexistent at this time. NDOW is not planning on planting trout here this fall due to the low water levels. Bluegill and bass fishing are just fair.

Water Level is Very Low & Weeds Are Thick

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The water level is very low and weeds are thick, but you can still launch a boat at the main boat landing. However, launching anything but a canoe or kayak at the Narciss boat launch is not recommended. Bass fishing is dropping off with the cooler water and with next weekend’s forecast highs of mid 60’s it will slow down considerably. Get out for bass

Wild Horse Reservoir

Fishing snow cones and

Cave Lake Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Very little change here as fishing at Cave Lake has been fair to good for eight to 10-inch trout, with very low water levels due to a drawdown due to concerns with the dam. The shorelines are still muddy and soft making walking and fishing difficult. The usual small nymphs and crystal buggers are working for trout, with beadhead pheasant tail nymphs being very effective. For bait
