Truckee River Fishing Report

by MATT KOLES

I guess it’s summer on the Truckee River. We had some hot weather last week, and now back in the 60’s-70’s. Just perfect fishing weather. Flows are still up, about 1,100 here in the Hirsch, and a bit higher down river. I’m guessing they will come down in about 2 weeks. You should be thinking green drakes and pale morning duns. If you’re on the river around

Bite Has Been Sluggish Due to High Temps

Las Vegas Urban Ponds

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

As we reach a solid 100 degrees for the next week, remember the fish will be looking for cooler water. Fishing is best in the morning when the parks opens or towards sunset where available. The Nevada Department of Wildlife has planted catchable bluegill in the ponds. Though anglers are seeing fish in the water, the bite has been sluggish. Probably due to the high

Lake Mead Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

An increase in bluegill action is exciting anglers in Echo Bay and Government Wash. Try fishing a night crawler under a bobber from shore. Black bass are taking shad lures and soft plastics in watermelon colorations. To some anglers’ surprise, they are reeling in crappie on their black bass rigs. Striper and catfish action is best in the early mornings and at sunset.

Truckee River Fishing Report

by MATT KOLES

Good soaking rains. Seems about right for May. 80 degrees, then back in the 40’s. Just when you put out the patio furniture. Anyways, the rivers back to normal flows, or at least what it was before this rain. Fishing is good, or hard, depending on how you can adjust to the higher flows. 1,100 and change from here on down the river. That ain’t easy pickings. The
