Browns On Lake Tahoe

by MIKE NIELSEN
Good fun on the browns this morning!

Second Trip For Today

by MIKE NIELSEN
Well the second trip was a grind for 5 fish. Little rainbow and brown then nice couple macs. Payed my taxes with lost tackle but simply part of game. Not sure if wind burn face hurts more than sunburn but I feel it! Great job team Norton.

Fishing With Dad

by MIKE NIELSEN
Clients canceled today at 4 am. I went to put my full cover up for storms and my dad pulled into marina so we decided to do lil brown session. Finish landing 11 and lost 5. All Browns nothing huge but all but one dink were just nice 3-6 lb fish. Had one break line but didn’t think it was huge just got into structure! Most

Trout Bite Has Been Good

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The trout bite has been good. Anglers are catching fish using a variety of baits and lures at Adams-McGill and Cold Springs reservoirs. The largemouth bass bite is starting to pick up at Haymeadow and Adams-McGill. Aaron Walker reported that he caught and released 36 bass on a recent outing. He was using a green pumpkin worm with red flakes fished on a Neko rig

Another Good Week For Anglers

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
It was another good weekend for anglers at Spring Valley State Park. Rainbow trout are hitting gold or silver spoons and rainbow-colored PowerBait while tiger trout are liking crankbaits. The bass bite has been good. One lucky angler hauled in a 9.5-pound largemouth over the weekend. Keep in mind that catch-and-release regulations for largemouth bass are in effect until July 1. 

Crappie Are Hitting Jigs

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
 The reservoir remains full, and the crappie are hitting jigs. So too are largemouth bass. Trout have been hitting well off the dam and the south shoreline. Anglers are catching the fish with Kastmasters and spinners.

Striped Bass and Rainbows Are Active

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Striped bass and rainbow trout are active below Casino Row. Shore anglers are catching stripers with anchovies between Casino Row and Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area. Jointed swimbaits that look like rainbow trout or bluegill will entice the bigger striped bass along the river. Trout are biting on PowerBait fished from the shoreline and boats.

Catfish Are Hanging Out Near Drop Offs

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Striped bass are hitting off the Willow Beach Fishing Pier and down south by Telephone Pole Cove. Anchovies and Rat-L-traps are working the best. Black bass are active in coves with vegetation. Working soft plastics near the mouths of the coves will get you the best action. Catfish are hanging out near drop offs and are taking anchovies and chicken liver.

Catfish Stock Before Memorial Day Weekend

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Night crawlers, mealworms, and PowerBait grubs are working well for stocked bluegill. Largemouth bass are taking plastics and spinnerbaits in most of the ponds. The Nevada Department of Wildlife has plans to stock catfish prior to Memorial Day weekend at Veterans’ Memorial Park, Lorenzi Park and Floyd Lamb Park. Sunset Park will not receive fish because the aeration system at Sunset Lake is not currently

L.V Wash is Hot Spot For Bass

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The Las Vegas Wash is a hot spot for both black bass and stripers. Black bass are hitting dark-colored plastics. Anglers are catching striped bass primarily with anchovies, but the fish also are taking jerkbaits. Anglers are finding good fishing for catfish in coves. Cut anchovies, night crawlers and stink baits will catch the fish.

Good Day on Tahoe

by MIKE NIELSEN
Good fun today on ultra light gear these fish really tug biting only 10 ft down out over deep, chasing shrimp and bait up making for fun stuff!

2 Weeks Left In The Season

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
As the fish now remain in shallow water and paired up for spawn this can be a very fun but also frustrating time to fish here as you can see them but they can be very tight lipped. Please avoid targeting actively spawning fish here so they can eventually establish a self-sustaining population. Best fishing during mornings and evenings as it warms to the mid

Truckee is Running High and Clear

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
As anticipated, the Truckee River is still running high. However, most of the water is coming from dam releases making the river run clear. The main game is still mostly nymphing or tossing streamers. With the continuing large water, big “attractor” nymphs like rubberlegs or worms have been best. Pheasant tails in a size 12-14 also do a good job imitating the march browns. Streamers

Nice Big Spring Flows

by MATT KOLES
Great last week on the Truckee River. We had a great clinic this weekend. Look for some more in the future. Nice big spring flows. Flows have dropped just a bit the last few days. Mainly it’s just what they’re doing with the reservoirs, not so much the run off that’s making the flows. If you noticed Boca is low as they are working on the dam. Yeah,

Great stuff out there you two Fish On !!

Ranch Still Fished Well This Week

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
The ranch still fished pretty well this week in spite of the higher flows. Most of the anglers this week reported 8 to 10 fish per day with some of them taping around 20 inches. This flow makes it harder to get these fish to the net as it gives them so much more power but it’s still doable! San Juan worms and Pat’s rubberlegs

No Wind, Great Action

by MIKE NIELSEN
Team Schear from Texas on the annual trout assault! No wind, great action. Lost probably 7 or 8 fish. Kept 5 Rainbows, and 6 macs and let go another handful of fish go! Action came between 6:45 and 8:45 am! Had cancellation for tomorrow.... who wants in?
