Nevada Fish Reports

The ranch also fished pretty well this past week though we only had a few clients on the water there. There were some pretty good hopper/dropper reports as well as a few fish caught with crawdad streamers. Anglers seemed however to do the best with small caddis nymphs and midges.

With cooler nights here, the Truckee River is starting to cool down to the low 60s by the morning. The fishing conditions are great until early afternoon, then the temperatures spike. Please respect the fish and only try fishing mornings and late evenings. Anglers should try ESN style nymphing in the morning with peaches and cream, two bit stones, and perdigons. In the evenings, anglers

Surface water temperatures are in the mid 70’s and the algae is still there.  If fishing for trout, you need to get down to the thermocline, a cold water barrier, about 15 to 18 feet deep here. Fish just above it for best results for trout.  Fishing for perch ranges from good to very good, both from shore and from boats, while fishing for trout

Summer hanging on. Record heat for the weekend. Though it does feel like summer is running out of gas. Mornings are cool, afternoons are hot, but that’ll change soon. Not much change since last weeks report. We’ve been smoke free for the last few days. Been very Smokey in Tahoe and the Truckee Meadows. Smoke is good for fishing, much like cloud cover. Mornings have been good

 Up on Lake Mohave the coves are producing some smallmouth activity along the shelves with the largemouth bass back in the shallows. The Stripers have been active near the dam and up in the basin area with anchovies and trolling with various lures in the white or trout pattern has been producing the best. Here along the shores of the Colorado river below the Davis Dam

Striper boils have slowed down over the past week but have still been seen along the canal and in the Yellowbar area during the early morning hours. Anglers have been somewhat successful trolling the lake using heavy Kastmasters, umbrella rigs and deeper diving jerk baits. Lugworms, mackerel and anchovies have been working well form the shoreline to catch both stripers and catfish along the canal

Another great catch at #WillowBeach! One 18 lbs & and another 15 lbs!

The Sceirine fish pretty well this week with some very good hopper/dropper action going on, chubby chernobyl’s and para hoppers with nymph droppers produced well for several anglers as well as a few fish being caught on dead drift crayfish. Mornings and evenings are still a good bet down there, just like the California side.

Truckee River  The last few days we have smoke is beginning to clear. Maybe the only good thing about the smoke we have all been getting is that it was able to drop the water temps from highs in low 70s. Combined with the 7 day forecast for cooler temps we might be through the worst of summer high water temps. Fishing has been good the last

            Well today started of only boating 3 of 11 hookups early. Never got out of the hole. Lost some gear. We did get 4 species as at the end we made completely different shift and boated a nice brown immediately followed up by bigger Rainbow!     Back at it tomorrow!

The Truckee River is flowing great, but anglers should only try fishing in the early mornings or the last hour of the day. The water temperatures in the afternoons are reaching the 70s and fishing at this time could cause undue stress on the fish. Anglers should also concentrate on the fast pocket water where the oxygen levels are higher for the fish. Nymphing with

We are getting some great fishing both up on Lake Mohave and here along the Colorado River. Up on the lake it’s mostly by boat however there are a lot of great spots by the dam along the shore line. Our local angler Fred Shipps was trolling near the dam using an umbrella rig and landed this nice stringer of stripers the larger one was
