Flowing strong and fishing has been solid

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Current Water Conditions The Truckee River is flowing strong and fishing has been solid as we move into mid-July. Flows remain consistent and healthy—hovering around 294 CFS near Tahoe City, 361 CFS through Truckee, and roughly 665 CFS at Farad. Anticipate a slight increase in volume if additional water is released from Lake Tahoe. Mornings offer excellent clarity and cool temperatures, making for productive outings. By

Trout fishing has been excellent this summer

Baily Fishing Pond

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Baily is one of the best community ponds in the state. Trout fishing has been excellent this summer but will slow down as water temperatures climb and stocking slows down. If the trout at Baily aren’t eating, the green sunfish are almost always eager to eat. Salmon eggs or small worms under a bobber and power worms or power bait off the bottom is always

Lahontan has been fishing very well for walleye, catfish, white bass, carp, and wipers

Lahontan Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Lahontan has been fishing very well for walleye, catfish, white bass, carp, and wipers. Carp and white bass can typically be found near the sandy beaches early and late in the day. The walleye, wipers, and catfish seem to prefer some structure. Look for submerged trees and ledges/deep drop-offs to find the wipers and walleye. Rapalas, swim baits, and large spoons have been effective. Catfish

Flows are perfect at the moment, but that can change very quickly

East Walker River (NV)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Flows are perfect at the moment, but that can change very quickly. Flows will likely bounce around in the next few weeks as the heat gets brutal. Keep an eye on water temps if you’re planning to release your catch. Morning fishing has been best with some hopper action in the afternoons. Focusing on water with bubbles is key during the hottest part of the

Fishing has been good at Knott Creek Reservoir this season

Knott Creek Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing has been good at Knott Creek Reservoir this season. The heat is definitely starting to limit some of the shoreline access due to the vegetation. Some suspended algae has been reported but doesn’t seem to be taking over just yet. Damsels, callibaetis mayflies, and midge have all been consistently hatching through the day. The dry fly fishing has been good early and late in

Onion has been fishing really well this summer

Onion Valley Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Onion has been fishing really well this summer for a few carryover trout and the recently stocked trout. Small spinners and spoons from shore have been great in addition to power bait and crawlers off the bottom.

Flows are starting to come down from about 1000 cfs to more realistic summer flows

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Flows are starting to come down from about 1000 cfs to more realistic summer flows. The Truckee in town is currently flowing at about 600 cfs and should continue to fall a little as we move further into summer. Water temperatures have been warming up in the afternoons making the early morning bite the best bet. Fish are scattered through the entire system but will

Flows have been hovering around 150cfs and fishing has been excellent this summer

East Carson River (NV)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Flows have been hovering around 150cfs and fishing has been excellent this summer. Trout have been stocked several times around broken dam and should continue to see supplemental stocking until flows really drop and temperatures climb. For now, fishing should remain very good above Carson for trout and below Carson for bass. Bait fisherman drifting salmon eggs, trout power worms, and crawlers should produce fish

Colorado River - Davis Dam

by RUSTY

Below the Davis Dam, local angler Patrick Paoli and his helper, Eagle, were fishing from shore near the casino area. Pat was using anchovies and managed to land several fish — including a catfish! The biggest striper weighed in at 6.74 pounds and measured 27¼ inches. This is a great sign that plenty of fish in this size range are out there right now. We

Good fly fishing on the Truckee

by MATT KOLES

Good fly fishing on the Truckee River. Flows have dropped to right around average on the Truckee River. Good wading flows now.. The whole river from Tahoe City down and past Reno have good flows: meaning the whole river is fishing. Pick a spot and get after it. It's crayfish time on the Truckee River, make sure you have some. Nymphing should be your main weapon. These trout are

Slowdown in the fishing

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

We’ve seen some pretty drastic changes on the Truckee this week and subsequently a slowdown in the fishing, which was incredible just a few weeks ago. The changes come from an increased release from Lake Tahoe and decreased release out of Boca. In Tahoe City this water is coming off the top of Lake Tahoe, and it is entering into the river system at a

The lake has been very good in the early morning hours on the south end and the west side

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake has been very good in the early morning hours on the south end and the west side. Rapalas or small flashers and a worm or using a thomas buoyant spoon. When using a spoon, use a small snap swivel. If you don't, you will end up with a twisted mess. For those die hard anglers that fish all day. Fish the east and
