Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Heating up here on the Truckee River. Figured the heat of summer would kick in at some point. High’s are near 90 here in the Hirsch, and just plain hot in Reno. The river is fishing well in the mornings and shitty mid-day. Like I always say this time of year, take a break and come back right before dark. Mudbugs and stones and pmds, and lots

Nymphing has Been Holding Out Very Well!

by JIM REID

We had a few clients on the ranch this past week and they all did pretty well down there, the water on the ranch does not get near as much pressure as the rest of the river (of course) so the fish down there don’t seem to get as picky as on other stretches. We didn’t have any streamer reports from down there but the

Caples Lake Report

Summer time heat has settled in and afternoon winds are a given. All fish are stuffed with food, such as shrimp, crawdads, and kokanee salmon. Mackinaw are on the bottom engorged with food from midnight hunting in the full moon. We have been getting them in 110 to 180 feet one day and then the next 280 to 350 feet. Dodgers and minnows, flashers and

Carson River Fish Report

Carson River

by DOUG BUSEY

Over the last few weeks the NDOW has been planting rainbow and brown trout. The fishing has been good up by the old broken dam area. The fish are scattered and you may need to do a little walking.

Still Lots of Nice Browns in the 20+ inch Range!

by JIM REID

The Sceirine is still fishing very well though we have been getting a lot of clients and reservations for down there lately. San juan worms, squirmy wormy’s, dark lords, military mayflies, buckskin caddis, Fox’s poopah and LaFontaines deep sparkle pupa are all doing well down there. There are still lots of nice browns in the 20+ inch range roaming the ranch.

Fishing has Been Very Good!

by AARON MEIER

Fishing has been very good despite the seasonal growth of aquatic vegetation that tends to line the shorelines and makes fishing difficult at times. Boaters should be prepared to clean their propellers periodically. Trout, bass and crappie have been taking a variety of baits and lures, but the best action has been early morning and after sunset.

Fishing Remains Good!

Eagle Valley Reservoir

by AARON MEIER

Fishing remains good. Bait anglers are doing well using PowerBait or night crawlers with a bit of mini-marshmallow. Fly-fishers are doing well using brown or dark olive bead head Woolly Buggers. Bass are taking spinning lures in the upper section near the weeds and tules. Aquatic vegetation has begun to show, but the shoreline is still fishable.

Lyman Prostaff Team

by ROBERT VARIK

South Lake Tahoe, native Robert Varik grew up trout fishing with his father, and is now well known in the west coast angling community for catching trophy lake trout, rainbows and browns on Lake Tahoe and other high sierra waters. Rob's catches are all the more impressive in that he fishes in a 12 foot aluminum fishing boat and a Hobie kayak. Using what he

Nymphing is Still the Best Down there!

by JIM REID

The Sceirine is still fishing very well, the last couple anglers we had down there were able to get into good numbers of fish though not too many over about 16 or 18 inches. Nymphing is still the best down there as well. The California side of the river tends to get pretty crowded this time of the year so if you want some water

Kokanee!

by JAMES NETZEL

Changed things up today. Trolled straight for the little Truckee arm picking up Kokanee after Kokanee along the way. Hit the shallows in the Truckee for a bunch of dink cutthroats and 5 pansized native rainbows. Turned around and trolled back to ramp to finish our limit of Kokanee. Ya don’t have to fish with the pack of boats to catch 50 kokanee by 10am. Save yourself some frustration and

Water Levels Remain Good!

by AARON MEIER

Windy conditions slowed the action down this past week. Water levels remain good, but sunny days are stimulating the seasonal growth of aquatic vegetation that occurs each summer. This can sometimes be a challenge for anglers fishing from the shoreline and along any of the dams.

The Striper Bite is Steady!

Lake Mead

The striper bite is steady with anglers finding success fishing shallow in the early morning and then switching to deep-diving lures once the heat picks up. Others have found good results by trolling with gizzard shad through the Vegas Wash area and outside of Boulder Beach. Bluegill are biting on night crawler pieces and small jigs.

The Fishing Here is Fantastic!
