Striped bass are being found largely by trolling

by ARIZONA GAME & FISH DEPARTMENT

Lake Mead has historically fished well this time of year. Striped bass are being found largely by trolling. Main lake points would be a good spot to start until a school is found. Swimbaits and anchovies seem to be the crowd favorite when targeting striped bass. Look for the largemouth bass to move into the shallower water later this month. Once up shallow, they can

Striped bass fishing below Davis Dam is still producing

Colorado River - Davis Dam

by ARIZONA GAME & FISH DEPARTMENT

Striped bass fishing below Davis Dam is still producing. Trout-colored swimbaits and anchovies have been the go-to so far this season. Rainbow trout are also being caught out of this stretch. PowerBait has been very popular, but anglers may also try some inline spinners or small tube jigs when targeting trout. Special Regulations: From Separation Canyon to Hoover Dam (including Lake Mead): The limit is

Water levels remain low with thick vegetation blocking some parts of the reservoirs

Adams-McGill Reservoir

Eagle Valley Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Crappie are biting Hare’s Ear nymphs and night crawlers near the dam. Midges and PowerBait are catching fish throughout the day with the best trout action taking place early and late in the day. The bass spawn was good, and anglers have been catching bass ranging from 4 to 12 inches. The water is very low making it difficult to launch even a light trailer.

Low water conditions continue, and most fish will be hiding along the dam

Echo Canyon Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Low water conditions continue, and most fish will be hiding along the dam where the water is deepest. Rainbow trout have been biting on marshmallows and Powerbait right off the bottom. Rooster Tails and other spinners work great to catch Rainbows and crappie near the surface at sunrise or sunset. A few bass have been biting worms fished on a drop shot.

The river is producing striped bass between 1 and 2 pounds

Colorado River - Laughlin

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The river is producing striped bass between 1 and 2 pounds, but some lucky anglers are occasionally catching bigger fish. One angler reported catching a 9-pound striper on a Pencil Popper. Rainbow trout fishing is slow, but with the recent caddis hatch a dry caddis fly might entice the fish. Catfish are hiding in heavy vegetation. Chicken livers and cut anchovies fished off the bottom are

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Jointed swimbaits in rainbow trout patterns are attracting stripers at Willow Beach. Where the reservoir opens up, stripers are showing a preference for jerkbaits and anchovies. Black bass in the 2- to 6-pound class are being caught at depths nearing 30 feet. Catfish up to 5 pounds are hitting anchovies fished off the bottom at night. Topwater lures are working for smallmouth bass near shelves,

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Anglers are finding striper boils throughout the morning, often within 100 feet of the shore. Topwater Spooks and many variations of shad lures are catching black bass early in the day. Jigs and deep diving jerkbaits seem to work later in the day. Catfish and striper action has been good overnight. Stink baits and anchovies are effective baits for catfish, while anchovies are a good

One week away from the Pyramid Lake opener

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

We are now one week away from the Pyramid Lake opener and things appear to be lining up well for another epic season out there. As the season kicks off, anglers will find the best success getting out on a boat or a float tube and fishing deep using large streamers imitating the main baitfish, Tui Chubs. The use of fish finders will help you

The flows continue to hold right around the same levels, and the water temps are below the 68 degree mark

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee has fished quite well again this week. The flows continue to hold right around the same levels, and the water temps are below the 68 degree mark along the entire system. Consistency is a key factor to happy trout, and I don’t think we can get much more consistent than this. We are seeing great action nymphing stoneflies, baetis, PMDs, caddis and midges. The

Things are starting to shake up a bit on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Things are starting to shake up a bit on the Truckee River. Clouds and some weather coming and definitely the kick into Fall fishing. The whole Truckee River is fishing good. That is, from Tahoe City all the way past Reno. That's a lot of fishable water. Pick a spot and fish it well. Look for strong beatis hatches, but of course nymphing will be best. The streamer

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

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
