16 Lb. Striped Bass

by RUSTY
The fishing for stripers or trout remains rewarding here along the Colorado river. Below the Davis Dam we have rainbow trout that are brought to us form the federal hatchery. These fish are stocked from October till the end of March and this is usually because of our warmer weather which could and can heat up the trucks that bring in the fish. This week

Nice Hen in The Net

by PYRAMID FLY CO.
Keeping kids entertained while fishing doesn’t always mean there will be a fishing rod in their hands. Lula kicked ass on the water up until the afternoon. After that is was running around the tufas like a jungle gym while @momothemeatman tried to keep up. So at the end of the day after we slid a nice hen into the net she wanted to see

Coming Into The Spring on The Truckee

by MATT KOLES
Coming into Spring on the Truckee River. It’s already about mid-March, and from now into Summer is the time to be on this river. Spring is my favorite time for big fish. Finally, a change on the river. Flows have been bumped up out of Boca. The river is about 480 cfs here in the Hirsch. Near the same down the length of the river as well

Pyramid Lake is Looking Better

by RENO FLY SHOP
Pyramid lake is looking better with some clouds and wind in the forecast. Bluebird days have been difficult. I’m finding myself dropping my tippet size for the indicator to help fish feel more comfortable and willing to bite. I’ve been fishing 8lb test and focusing on deeper drop offs. The LCT have been more comfortable in water deeper than 12 feet. They’re not always holding

Water Temps Have Gotten The Fish Active!

by RENO FLY SHOP
Warmer temperatures in our region have really gotten these fish active! Were catching multiple big trout on most half day trips. Fish are really keying in on size 16 nymphs. Color has not seemed to matter too much, but something with some flash has been better than more natural presentations. Water levels are at the lowest they will be this year. This is producing extremely

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY
Some great news we are getting some of the smaller stripers in our area here along the Colorado River below the Davis Dam. Better yet anchovies are producing some nice catches here along the river and I am hearing that up on Lake Mohave that the striper bite is starting to pick up. Now the feeding time for these fish is important. I have been

Bug Slingers

by PYRAMID FLY CO.
Al Ritt @arflies the legendary fly tying master has to be one of the kindest most humble bad asses we have had the pleasure of fishing and hanging out with. He and his wild group of bug slingers came out and fished with us for a few days. Al Z finished the trip out with a tail walking backing getter that put on a real

Action Continues to Pick Up

The reservoirs are mostly ice free, and the most open water can be found along the dams. Rainbow trout are nice and healthy. Action will continue to pick up as water temperatures grow warmer.

Ice is off The Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Ice is off the reservoir. Anglers have found good fishing for rainbow trout in the 10- to 12-inch class using hardware and traditional baits. Various colored PowerBait, marshmallows, and night crawlers are enticing the trout. The campground and all facilities are open. Nighttime temperatures are still below freezing. There have been no reports of bass activity.

Water is Fully Open

 The water is fully open, but angler activity has been minimal. Trout are taking PowerBait, spinners and nymphs. Daytime temperatures are in the 60s, but the area will see some weather this weekend. The campgrounds and all facilities are open.

Fishing Has Been Good on The River

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing on the river has been good with rainbow trout, channel catfish and black bass all taking baits. Trout are showing a preference for gold spinners with red polka dots, but PowerBait is always a good option too. Catfish are taking anchovies fished off the bottom and not far from shore. The striper bite is slow, but some shore anglers have had luck using glide baits

Lake Mohave/ Willow Beach Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
 Rainbow trout are quick to bite on gold spinners and rainbow PowerBait at Willow Beach. Anglers are catching 3- to 5-pound trout from both shore and kayaks. Catfish are hanging around vegetation near shore. One angler reported reeling in an 8-pound catfish he caught on a chicken liver. Few reports have come from the main reservoir, likely due to the consistent winds. However, clear skies

A variety of shad imitations are fooling the fish, including crankbaits, swimbaits and soft plastics. Largemouth bass are becoming active and are showing preference for Chatterbaits. Crappie fishing has been slow, but a few anglers have

"You Should Have Been Here Yesterday"

by PYRAMID FLY CO.
We all know the old adage, “You should have been here yesterday”. Today definitely proved that once again. As most of us know these fish prefer some weather this time of year. Yesterday was the first weather event we have seen in over a month and the fish definitely had the feed bags wide open! @sarah_landstrom and her posse of determined bad ass women got
