The ranch is also still fishing well

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
The ranch is also still fishing well with much of the same patterns as listed above. It's probably best to reserve half day sessions in the morning as opposed to full days for the next 5 or 6 weeks.

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY
Here’s the latest Colorado River fishing report from below Davis Dam! Our local angler, Matt Crowder, landed some beautiful striped bass while fishing from his boat. He was using a swimbait, and it proved to be a very effective technique. These stripers are a great eating size—easy to fillet and perfect for a delicious meal. We've also been hearing that anglers fishing from shore are having good

Current Water Conditions Flows measuring 289 CFS out of Tahoe City, 314 CFS through the town of Truckee, 494 CFS by the Boca Bridge, and 549 CFS near Farad. Flows are still really great for this time of the year and the watermaster is still releasing a good bit of water from Lake Tahoe into the Upper Truckee River.

The boat ramp and boat dock remain open despite low water levels. Surface water temps are rising into the mid-to-high 70s.

Water clarity is good with no visible algae

Water levels are approximately 2 feet below the bottom of the boat ramp, so boats cannot launch at this time.

Bass fishing has been good with fish over 15″

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY
We have our local angler, Mike Merritt, with a nice mixed bag of fish! He was targeting stripers using anchovies and ended up landing some beautiful catfish as well. We do have channel catfish in the river, and it's always nice to see a few being caught. There are plenty of folks who enjoy these fish for the table. While we're on the subject of catfish, have

Lake Tahoe Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY
A few reports of anglers getting out early and trolling a dodger and a live minnow along the Meeks Bay drop-offs. Some have had success jigging off the rocky areas by the Camp Richardson area. I spoke to a couple of guides this week. They have not been able to get out due to the weather.

The lake is full of fish

by DOUG BUSEY
The lake is full of fish. I reported a couple of weeks ago that they had planted 4,000 rainbows. Well, since then, the NDOW has planted another 5,000 rainbows. Shore anglers have done well with inflated nightcrawlers or a long leader and PowerBait. Trollers have been doing well with Thomas Buoyant spoons (with a snap swivel), or the old-fashioned way with small blades and a

Small, flashy spinners like Panther Martins are the go-to for spin
