Riviera Marina Fishing Report

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

How about some catfish news! Local anglers fishing from shore along the Colorado River, near the Avi Casino on the Arizona side, have been using anchovies for bait. John Andrews and his wife landed a beautiful channel catfish that weighed 10.86 pounds and measured 28 ¾ inches. The channel cat is our most common catfish in the area. Fun story: ever wonder if we’re named after

We're still getting very good streamer and dry/dropper reports from the ranch lately

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

We're still getting very good streamer and dry/dropper reports from the ranch lately as well, most anglers reporting having very successful days down there. Like the California side, the temps are great and the fish are pretty active both on the surface and underneath. Give is a call if you want to book some time out there!

Best time of year to find large brown trout in the Truckee River

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

We won’t beat around the bush, this is the best time of year to find large brown trout in the Truckee River. As they head into pre-spawn they look to pack on calories. A well-presented crawdad, streamer or stonefly has been hard for them to pass up. With the current conditions on the river, the next few weeks could very well provide some of the

Lake Tahoe is steady for kokanee, mackinaw, and trout

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Lake Tahoe is steady for kokanee, mackinaw, and trout. Surface temps are mid-60s, and kokanee are stacking on the west shore between DL Bliss and Sugar Pine, 40–60 feet down. Fish are topping out around 17 inches, and trollers running dodger-and-hoochie rigs are doing well. Mackinaw are deeper, holding in the 60–130 foot range in the west shore, near the Cal Neva Hole, and around

With cooler water temps, trout fishing is about to take off

Wild Horse Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Cooler weather patterns over the last two weeks have dropped water temps back into the 50s and algae is beginning to disperse. Aquatic weed growth may still impede shoreline fishing in some coves, but there are areas shoreline anglers can fish around it. With cooler water temps, trout fishing is about to take off and fish should be averaging 16″ to 22″. Try throwing small,

Water temperatures are still warm and fishing for rainbow trout will continue to improve as we move into fall

Tonkin Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Water temperatures are still warm and fishing for rainbow trout will continue to improve as we move into fall. Aquatic vegetation is dense and will limit some access for anglers, particularly when fishing from shore. Tonkin Reservoir was stocked at the beginning of summer with rainbow trout. Anglers should expect most rainbow trout to be 14-16 inches with 18-20 inch fish available. Fly fishing with

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

We’ve got some good news from Lake Mohave—it’s fishing well right now, especially for stripers. This is a great time to get out on the water. As a reminder, the lake is lowered about 10 feet around this time each year. This drawdown helps divers access the water to harvest larvae of endangered species raised at the hatchery. The stripers are a little on the thin side,

Expect trout fishing to pick up into October

Jakes Creek Reservoir (Boies Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Water levels are normal for this time of year, but weeds are impacting fishing access for shoreline anglers. Water temps remain warm, keeping trout fishing slow. Expect trout fishing to pick up into October. Better fishing opportunity will be from float tube, kayak, etc. to reach the cooler and weed-free water. Through the summer, trout up to 18″ have been caught. Try small Panther Martins

Water level is in good shape going into the fall

Willow Creek Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Water level is in good shape going into the fall, and smaller boats can still use the boat ramp. Fishing opportunities will remain limited with some smaller channel catfish and crappie available to anglers. The occasional Lahontan Cutthroat Trout may also be caught as cutthroat wash down from the higher mountain streams.

Water temperatures are creeping back down into the 60s

South Fork Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Water temperatures are creeping back down into the 60s. Algae is beginning to disperse but weeds remain thick in the southern portion of the reservoir. With the cooler water temps, trout fishing will begin picking up. Trout are hitting combinations of PowerBait and worms, as well as flashy spinners. Fly anglers are having success with nymph, midge and leech patterns, or streamers off the dam.

Best fishing of the year is now!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Good flows, cool water temps, light crowds and pre-spawn fish. What else can we say? These coming weeks will likely be some of the best fishing of the year for our river, and we hope you can make it happen! With the drop in temps, fishing all day is good and the late evening streamer fishing will likely be a good option in coming weeks,

Lake Tahoe Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY

The kokanee action has continued to be good on the south/west side of the lake. Best areas to fish have been from the Camp Richardson area to the north. They are schooling up to start their annual spawn up Taylor Creek various creeks very soon. Some of them have even started their red color formation and hook jaw. But now the good thing about schooling

Topaz Lake Report

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake has recently been planted by the NDOW with almost 6000 catchable rainbow trout. You have read my report for this area in the intro. I recommend not to fish the day after a full moon. But I will be out there this weekend if the "W" is stable enough. I won't be after the plant trout. I want those fish that were looking

Fishing remains consistent

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Fishing remains consistent on Lake Tahoe with surface temps in the mid-60s°F. Kokanee are concentrated on the west shore between DL Bliss and Sugar Pine, running 40–60 feet deep and up to 17" long. Mackinaw are deeper—120–300 feet—near the Cal Neva Hole and South Lake, with fish hitting on trolled plugs or jigged minnows. Trout are around 100 feet, hitting Rapalas for boat anglers. Shore

The Truckee is fishing excellent!

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Current Water Conditions The Truckee is fishing excellent right now, with flows steady at 296 CFS out of Tahoe City, 320 CFS through town, and 503 CFS at Farad. The water is clear, cold, and running strong. The canyon stretch is the place to be, especially early in the day before the sun gets high. Weekday mornings are quiet with little angling pressure.

Rainy Weather!

by MATT KOLES

Fall fishing on the Truckee River with the rainy weather. Pretty much went from Summer to Fall in a few days. I'm sure it will warm back up, but the afternoons in the 80's look to be behind us. Trouts are still on crayfish, and stoneflies for the anchor. Smaller mayflies on point. Streamer fishing will start to get going. Got a few lately, but it will only
