Ranch is Fishing Well

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
The Ranch is still fishing well, lots of nice fish in the 14 to 20 inch range being caught down there lately. It’s still been pretty busy with bookings but of course not near as busy as the public sections of the river. They’re still eating some stonefly nymphs down there and the dry/dropper action has also been pretty good still. Like the Cali side

The lake level is going down and the fishing has been good one day and slow the next. Most anglers have reported 12 to 15 inch rainbows from shore.

Plenty of Fish in The River

by DOUG BUSEY
There are plenty of fish in the river. Fishing has been up and down. I talked with one angler that could see the fish but could not commit them to bite. I gave him a Naw tip and will see if it helped in the next report.

Tahoe Topliners Fishing Report

by MIKE NIELSEN
Yesterday the fish social distanced for me. We got Brown only to have one of three decked. Then the lakers did the same not nearly the amount of bites and lots of loss.  Crazy to water Temps go from 64 down to 56 degrees but 3 days of big wind / waves seemed to stir things pretty good. See what today has on tap!

With summer temperatures, Haymeadow and Cold Springs offer anglers the chance to land bass and crappie. Crappie are hitting on green and red jigs while bass are taking plastics and crankbaits.

Crappie & Bass Are The Most Active Right Now

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Crappie and bass are still the most active fish right now. Crappie and bass are taking an assortment of spoons and jigs. Fly-anglers have been doing well using dragonfly nymphs and olive Woolly Buggers.

State Parks are still

Anglers are catching a variety of sunfish across the urban ponds. At Sunset and Floyd Lamb Park green sunfish are taking mealworms, night crawler pieces, and micro lures. Anglers are catching catfish on marshmallows, corn, and catfish dip. The marshmallows will entice the cats above the weed growth on cooler, cloudy mornings. All city ponds have a 3-fish limit regardless of species. Nets are not

Striper Boils Should Be Increasing This Month

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Anglers have seen a few striper boils in the Boulder Basin. They should increase in frequency this month. Striper boils provide great action when using topwater baits or jerkbaits. Anglers fishing Temple Bar and the Overton Arm are finding success with soft swimbaits fished from shore or boat. Bluegill are biting on night crawlers in Government Wash. The largest catfish catches are being reported in

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY
We did have a bit of a slow spell but the striper bite is picking up again. Lake Mohave striper bite is still a bit hit or miss and you will have to move around to find that fishing hole.

Hooking Good Numbers of Fish Every Morning

by MATT KOLES
Rolling right along on the Truckee River.  Hooking pretty good numbers of fish every morning. That is, if you can wade and get around in the river. Trouts are in the fast oxygenated water. You have to get in there and get to them. You have to cover water and understand where exactly to put your flies. Get out in the mornings, that is your best
