Bobbers Dropping All Day!

by PYRAMID FLY CO.
Jim’s first day at the lake was one to remember! The bobbers were dropping and more often than not they were good size fish. And when you’re 6’ 5” you make even the big fish look like normal ones. Needless to say, its only 4:30 and I’m tired from sprinting but and down the beach.

Waiting For Winter

by MATT KOLES
Waiting for winter.  We have the cold, just need some snow. Flows are low, water is cold. High pressure looks to be parked over us for another 2 weeks, ugh. Very cold overnight lows, somewhat mild afternoons. Your best fishing, especially on the CA side will be later in the day when the water warms a bit. It’s cold and low and not easy fishing. Kinda like

21 Pounds to The Net!

by PYRAMID LAKE GUIDES
This beast was fun to catch! The lake is fishing well, lots of bigs coming into shore.

Action at The lake Have Increased

by RENO FLY SHOP
The action at the lake has increased as the trout are getting comfortable in depths less than 15 feet. Retrieving flies has still been the most productive, but midges and balanced leeches under the indicator are producing at times. Morning and evening bite, in low light conditions, has been best. The Cat Whisker and Deadpool Booby Fly have been very effective. Followed closely by the Midnight

Fish Have Acclimated To Winter Water Temps

by RENO FLY SHOP
The river has come up to a bit over 225 cfs through the downtown gauge and the temperatures are fluctuating from the high 30s to the mid 40s. The fish have acclimated to these wintery water temperatures and are starting to feeding midday as the water warms. Smaller nymphs under an indicator or European style nymphing has worked well. We’ve been using #18s-#20s with an

Not Many Reports Lately

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Not many reports lately. Afternoons have been warm enough to keep the water clear of ice. Trout fishing is good throughout the day, with aquatic vegetation along shorelines. Bass fishing has slowed a bit. Please check weather conditions and use caution while in the management area.

Fishing is Almost Back To Normal

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Campers and anglers have been successful lately with good size trout in the 12 to 15 inches range.  Fishing is almost back to normal with a stocking of rainbows and tigers a few weeks back. Anglers have been using PowerBait and night crawlers. Launch ramp is open but the fishing pier is still removed. For up to date ice conditions contact the park at 775-962-5102.

Days Have Been Warm Enough To Keep The Ice Off The Edges

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Days have been warm enough to keep the edges from icing up. A few anglers at Echo Canyon reported doing well catching rainbow trout. They are using night crawlers and rainbow PowerBait. There are sporadic weeds along the shore, limiting access.  For up-to-date ice conditions contact the park at 775-962-5103.

Anglers of All Skill Levels Are Enjoying The Recent Stockings

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Anglers of all skill levels are enjoying the recent rainbow trout stockings in the Colorado River. Jigs, spinners, PowerBait and worms have all resulted in catches from shore. Boaters are trolling anchovies and trout lures to land striped bass between 1 and 2 pounds. There are few reports of catfish taking stink bait and anchovies near the Laughlin Lagoon.

Lake Mohave Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
At Willow Beach rainbow trout are biting at the fishing pier and nearby shorelines. The fish are taking soft plastics tubes, jigs and multi-colored spinners. A few reports of large striper catches have come in from boaters fishing the deeper water. Black bass anglers are seeing the most action in the Cottonwood Basin or at the south end of Lake Mohave. Shad swimbaits and Whopper

Topwater Action For Striped Bass in The Mornings Has Been Good

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Anglers are still seeing topwater action for striped bass in the mornings. Other anglers are reporting larger striper catches when jigging around 100 feet. Black bass action is hit and miss, with anglers having the most luck at Callville Bay and throughout Government Wash. The fish are taking crankbaits in shad and crawdad patterns, as well as a variety of floating baits.

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY
We are having some great fishing going on and our anglers are doing well. Up on Lake Mohave above the Davis Dam Mike Gabrielson was fishing off of his kayak using a Panther Martin and landed a nice Smallmouth Bass. It weighed in at 3.76 pounds and was 19 and 1/2 inches. There has been some striper action near Telephone Cove on the Arizona side

Sometimes We Get Lucky, But Always Have Fun!

by PYRAMID FLY CO.
Sometimes one needs to improvise. In the beginning of this tussle the fly line wrapped around the reel. Shortly after she decided to take a long quick run after seeing the shallows, as these fish often do. Pulling the fly line out and around the reel a funky “pop” was heard in the line. With not much time to do anything other than let the

Cutthroat Bite is Picking Up

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS
It has been hard to keep up with the action from our guide staff the last couple of days. Mike, Chris and Ryan had their hands full releasing fish from several different beaches. Pyramid Lake Fly Fishing guides are on fire right now and our business partners (the fish) are cooperating fully. Monday was pretty normal for most of us but for these lucky clients,

Set on Everything!

by PYRAMID FLY CO.
When indicator fishing dont always expect the bobber to suck under 3 feet. Especially in the choppy water. If that bobber looks suspect and does something odd more than likely it’s a fish. Sometimes the grabs are subtle, with a big fish on the end gracefully sucking up those bugs. Set on everything!
