Trout Fishing has Been Good Below Davis Dam

Colorado River - Laughlin

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Trout fishing has been good below Davis Dam since the National Fish Hatchery resumed stocking operations. Anglers are catching the fish from below the dam through Casino Row. Sunset colored PowerBait and spinners will catch the fish. Anglers have reported bringing in stripers on trout imitation swimbaits outside of Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area.

Some Places Warm Springs Feed the Reservoirs

Kirch Wildlife Management Area

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Recent storms have added to the water levels across the management area but also have made for thin ice at each reservoir. Keep in mind that in some places warm springs feed the reservoirs so the ice may not be as thick as you think. The NDOW asks all visitors to use extreme caution before venturing on the ice. No reports were received this week.

Action for Rainbow Trout Good

Eagle Valley Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Ice conditions are very good following winter storms that have dropped several inches of snow across the area. The water coloration has cleared up, making the action for rainbow trout good this week. Several anglers caught fish through the ice using PowerBait in orange, green or rainbow colorations. For up-to-date ice conditions contact Spring Valley State Park at 775-962-5102.

Expect Thin Ice Around the Shoreline in the Mornings

Echo Canyon Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The reservoir is mostly clear of ice, but with temps dropping in the negative numbers overnight, expect thin ice around the shoreline in the mornings making conditions a challenge. For up-to-date ice conditions contact Echo Canyon State Park at 775-962-5103.

Mornings are Proving the Best Time to Catch Trout

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The National Fish Hatchery is stocking rainbow trout weekly below the Willow Beach Fishing Pier. Mornings are proving the best time to catch trout using Rooster Tails or worms. Anglers are reporting good fishing for striped bass as well as rainbow trout. Sunset has been the best time to catch striped bass.

Rainbows are Taking PowerBait in a Variety of Colors

Las Vegas Urban Ponds

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

There is no planned trout plant this week at the Las Vegas area urban fishing ponds, but fish were stocked Feb. 7 at Floyd Lamb, Lorenzi, Veterans Memorial and Hafen Parks.

Stripers at Depths of About 80 feet

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Live shad and cut anchovies are bringing in stripers weighing from 1 to 3 pounds between Hemenway Pier and Government Wash. Jointed silver swimbaits are great substitutes for live shad. Anglers fishing from boats are finding stripers at depths of about 80 feet outside of Government Wash. Always use caution if wind advisories are issued.

39 lb. Striper

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

The Rainbow trout stocking has resumed and we have Jim Rott with a limit of trout he landed in the Community park area using power bait and fishing from shore. This time of year our water levels are going some up and a lot down. So anyone using a boat here along the Colorado river needs to watch and learn the river channel. Also the

Striper Bite is Picking Up

by RUSTY

Up on Lake Mohave under 20 inches there is no limit over 20 inches its 20 fish. This can add up when they are getting in the 10 pound range so to some its let the small ones go so they will get bigger and to others its keep the smaller fish so the others will have a better chance to grow. More good news up on

Quality in Size Being at the Forefront

by PYRAMID LAKE GUIDES

February fishing on Pyramid Lake has been similar to December and January, with quality in size being at the forefront rather than numbers; although when a storm blows in we do see the numbers jump up. It’s been cold so bundle up!

Fishing is Usually Pretty Good with the Higher Flows.

by MATT KOLES

Digging out. Sorry for the delayed post. This is the first time I’ve been able to log into my site. It’s still slow as F, but hopefully it gets fixed this week. You can always keep up on my Instagram. Big, big snows, kinda 2010-2011, around here right now. Big cold GOA lows coming down and hammering us. We have well over 6 feet of snow here

A Winter's Day on Lake Tahoe

by DENIS PEIRCE

On some of these dreary wet days it may not seem like a good fishing season, but if you take a longer term perspective this is close to a perfect winter. We depend on winter to provide the water the fish need to swim in. It is the Sierra snowpack that stores the water for the coming year. The winter of 2018-19 is shaping up to

Topaz is Stocked

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

ATTENTION ANGLERS: All fishing ponds at Mason Valley Wildlife Management Area are covered with ice for the opening this weekend. There is not much, if any, open water. The ice is thin and dangerous. Instead, we recommend you head to Topaz Lake (photographed below). We stocked it with 6,520 rainbow trout last week, and 4,365 rainbows this week! Enjoy!

Saturday started off slow and Mother Nature decided to rough us up a bit. Once we got into some calmer water in the afternoon we started getting some fish. Including Johnny and Zack’s largest trout they have ever caught.

Reno Fly Shop Pyramid Lake Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

We believe the approaching storms should really improve conditions at the lake and on the River. Recent high pressures and blue-bird conditions slowed the fly fishing at Pyramid Lake and the Truckee River. It seems to be okay one day and not so hot the next. Early / late in the day or some cloud cover is consistently producing the best success. Wind/waves also help

Reno Fly Shop Truckee River Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River is fishing very Winterlike. Small dark thin bodied nymphs seem to be the most consistent. We anticipate Skwala will begin showing up and we have begun to stock some really great stonefly patterns for the chase. Fish are holding in medium/slow water with a bit of depth. We anticipate that the Rainbow Trout will start to color up and stage pre-spawn. It
