Stocked rainbow trout are schooling up below Davis Dam and through Casino Row. The fish are biting on PowerBait, night crawlers, and spinners. Boaters and shore anglers are both catching fish.

Fishing Should Be Picking up Soon

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Silver and green colored jerkbaits are fooling stripers around Kingman Wash and along drop-offs by the water in-take.

Solid Fishing on The Truckee

by MATT KOLES

That’s where I’ve been spending my time. The water is low and clear and cold still in Ca. So no more dry fly fishing down on the lower river. Lots of bugs, but
