13 to 18 Inch Trout Being Caught

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Very little change here as the collection ditch is ice free with the warmer temperatures. Fishing continues to be good at the collection ditch for 13 to 18 inch trout with the occasional large trout being taken. Small brightly colored spinners were doing well. Wet flies have been performing better than the dries right now. These include the usual small nymphs such as PT’s, hares

Some Anglers Limiting Out

South Fork Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

South Fork is completely ice free and fishing has been fair, though occasionally anglers report catching a limit of fish. When anglers do report catching trout, they are averaging 16 to 18 inches with an occasional fish over 20 inches. Fly fishermen fishing chironomids (midge larvae) are having the best luck. Most of the trout being caught have been in the backs of coves, along

Pyramid Lake is On

by DOUG RODRICKS

Pyramid Lake is on. As many of you know this is prime time to get into some real nice ones, and the weather is more favorable too. Some large hogs have been making their way to the net and beach “by force of course” and we are seeing some fish in the double digit range daily. We have plenty of openings for April so give

Lots of Trout and A Few Stripers

Colorado River - Davis Dam

by RUSTY

We have had a lot of trout in the Colorado river here below the Davis Dam. Our local anglers are having some great success in landing their limits of 5 rainbow trout. Jerry Bussdieker was fishing from shore in the community park area. He was using power bait to land these trout. I have reports of spinners also working well rooster tails panther martins blue

Having Fun With Tahoe Gold

by MIKE NIELSEN

We are having fun with Tahoe Gold. We have harvested some for food but we have released a very large number so far. Still waiting for some good size with most running under 5 lbs so far.

Double Hook Ups

by HANS MOXLEY

The guys from Tahoe Tech not only can they take care of things on land, They really get the job done out on the water as well. Great job with that double hook up !!!!

Truckee River Report April 1st

by MATT KOLES

Another week of rain and snow on the way. Nice weekend though, after yet another week of rain and snow. Flows have actually dropped a bit and clarity is really good on the Truckee River. Saw lots of folks out this weekend here in Hirschdale and from what it sounds like, most folks were catching a few fish. Access is pretty good now, most of the low

Awesome Day on Lake Tahoe

Great fishing with you guys today, what a beautiful day !!! Cruising back in from some awesome fishing.

Ranch is Still Fishing Well

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by JIM REID

The ranch is still fishing well with most anglers reporting 1 to 15 fish per day down there. San Juan worms are still doing great and stonefly nymphs are getting good too. With the nicer weather we’re starting to get more bookings down there so if you want some time on the ranch try to give is a call well ahead of time.

Fish Are Still Very Active

East Walker River (NV)

by JIM REID

The river is still at 282 cfs right now. The fishing is a little tougher with the higher flow but the fish are still very active and most anglers are getting into some good fish. Lots of fish in the 12 to 16 inch range with a few pushing over 20”. Still haven’t heard much about streamers but with the warmer weather that should change,

Great Fishing

by HANS MOXLEY

Great Hookups

by MIKE NIELSEN

Well yesterday we literally struggled to keep the fish tight. Great hookups, runouts then slack. Today we did not have the volume of bites but made em count. The boys took some for dinner then after we came in my son came down to boat to help clean and got a couple rainbows!

Lake Tahoe, not Donner

by SHAUN RAINSBARGER‎

Very rough day, 2 to 5 foot waves, ended with 4 macs ti 5 pounds

Mackinaw Biting Around The Lake

by DOUG BUSEY

Best areas to fish for mackinaw trout is off the Cal/Neva point or around Carnelian Bay. The drop offs in the area are dramatic and can change from 100 to 600 feet quickly. The shelf out from Tahoe City is also productive. On the south end, many anglers are successful toplinning with #9 to a #11 Rapala from the Cave Rock area to Logan Shoals.

Fishing Has Still Been Slow

by DOUG BUSEY

Fishing has still been slow. I caught 4 rainbows last weekend using green Powerbait. I fished on the south end of the lake. I spoke with a couple trollers that caught a few of the planter fish in the 8 to 12 inch class. I trolled the lake a couple weeks ago and had fair success in the morning and then the bite quickly turned

Water Clarity Is DIfferent Around The Lake

by MIKE NIELSEN

Smaller grade of fish overall but still fun. Water clarity is very different in certain areas. Some places very murky already with some runoff while other areas it’s as clear as I can ever recall. I was showing the group bottom with naked eye at 60 ft with ease. The video looks like 5 ft in about 20 plus!

Best Trout Fishing Takes Place Between Early March and June

Kirch Wildlife Management Area

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

There are no updates on fishing action at the management area. As a rule, the best trout fishing of the year takes place between early March and June. The fish are hungry and weed growth has not yet become an issue. Effective bait options include worms, PowerBait, spinners, lures and fly patterns. Rooster Tails, Mepp’s and Panther Martin spinners are generally good options. So too

Roads Are Officially Reopened

Eagle Valley Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The roads are officially reopened. Runoff from melting snows has made the water murky and the fishing tough, but things should turn around as the water begins to settle out. The Nevada Department of Wildlife planted both rainbow and tiger trout during the past two weeks.

Limited Shoreline Access

Echo Canyon Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

With the water level still high, murky water conditions remain the rule. As a result of that and limited shoreline access, fishing activity has been limited. Bass and trout fishing both will improve as the runoff slows and the water settles out.

Striper Action is Picking Up

Colorado River - Laughlin

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Striper action is picking up below Davis Dam. The fish are averaging 2 to 5 pounds. Anglers fishing from shore are having success with anchovies fished off the bottom. The south end of Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area is providing good fishing. The national fish hatchery planted an extra load of rainbow trout below Davis Dam last week. Anglers have been catching

Willow Beach Good Action For Rainbows

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Anglers are catching smallmouth bass in the 2- to 3-pound range in Cottonwood Basin. Smallies in the 5-pound class are growing increasingly common at tournament weigh-ins. The fish are hitting on green and watermelon colored plastics. Anglers fishing out of Willow Beach are finding good action for stocked rainbow trout and striped bass. Rainbows are taking yellow and orange PowerBait. Stripers are hitting trout imitation
