Bright Colors are the Ticket!

Eagle Valley Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing has been good with anglers catching trout, bass and crappie. Bright colors are the ticket for all species. The specific color doesn’t seem to be an issue so long as it is bright. Try chartreuse green, orange or yellow. Trout also are hitting well on garlic-scented PowerBait and Power Eggs in orange or green. The fish also are taking nightcrawlers with bit of marshmallow

Good Fishing Greeted Participants at Saturday’s Free Fishing Day!

Echo Canyon Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Good fishing greeted participants at Saturday’s Free Fishing Day event. One youngster brought in a rainbow trout weighing in at just less than 2 pounds. The fish are taking lures, garlic scented PowerBait or Power Eggs and nightcrawlers with a chunk of mini marshmallow. Jigs with bright colored heads are catching crappie.

This Stretch of the River has been Hot for Stripers and Trout.

Colorado River - Laughlin

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

This stretch of the river has been hot for stripers and trout. The line sides are averaging about 2 pounds and taking anchovies and a variety of lures. One local angler recommends a jerkbait with a tail. Woolly Buggers seem to be a universal bait and are catching black bass, trout and carp near Big Bend.

Plastic Baits Have Been Fooling Black Bass!

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Anglers are finding good fishing for Striped Bass, Black Bass, and Catfish in coves throughout the lake. Plastic baits have been fooling black bass and stripers are hitting segmented trout imitations or frozen anchovies. Catfish also are taking anchovies, and trout are smacking Rooster Tails.

Most are Fishing at First Light and at Dusk!

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Summerlike temperatures are pushing anglers off the water during the day. Most are fishing at first light and at dusk. Look for stripers lurking near shallow benches surrounded by deeper water. That is where they are waiting to feed on bait fish. Largemouth bass are making their presence known and have shown up in many coves throughout the Government Wash area. Some anglers have found

Rainbow trout, striped bass and now the catfish bite is picking up.

Colorado River - Davis Dam

by RUSTY

I have been hearing that the striper bite is going well from the Davis Dam to well below the needles area. I have also heard of a few larger stripers coming in nothing real large as of yet but in the 8 to 12 pound range. Mostly 1 to 3 pounds is what most anglers are having success catching.

There are Fish Everywhere!

by MATT KOLES

Good fishing and nice weather on the Truckee River. Flows are near normal or below actually, bugs are out and temps are in the mid-70’s. Really nice up here right now. Good easy wading down through the whole river with these flows. Good for you old timers. I’m sure flows will come back up for the rafters up near Tahoe City soon. Yellow stones, golden stones, baeits,

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by PYRAMID LAKE STAFF

Fishing over the past week has been great for bass, stripers, and catfish both off shore and around the lake. Small striper boils are starting to be seen around the lake and anglers have been catching them using baits like sardines, lugworms, and smaller lures. Best spots from shore have been along the canal by the entrance booth and along the rip rap in front

Book Some Private Water Where it’s Not Crowded!

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by JIM REID

Like the California side, the ranch was much tougher this past week with the higher flows, now that the flows are back down it should fish great. The same patterns as on the California side should work well down there, also with the heavier leaders and tippets. With the lower water the public areas can get pretty crowded sometimes so if you want to book

Mid Day Run We Did Well!

by MIKE NIELSEN

Early on bite was slower with few Brown Trout. I didn’t get pics but this mid day run we did well!

The Fish are Taking a Wide Variety of Baits.

Kirch Wildlife Management Area

by AARON MEIER

Trout, crappie and largemouth bass action has been very good over the past week. The fish are taking a wide variety of baits, and the best action has been found during early morning and evening hours. Afternoon winds make fishing difficult that time of day.

Fishing has Been Excellent!

Eagle Valley Reservoir

by AARON MEIER

Fishing has been excellent with many anglers taking limits of fish. Rainbow and tiger trout have been hitting on a variety of baits and lures, such as small Mepp’s spinners and Rooster Tails. Bait anglers have been having success using PowerBait and Power Eggs in rainbow, orange or green colorations. Crappies also are hitting white jigs with colored heads in pink or green. Bass action

Fishing Continues to Improve Below Davis Dam.

Colorado River - Laughlin

by AARON MEIER

Fishing continues to improve below Davis Dam. Anglers are still finding stocked rainbow trout along with stripers in the 1- to 3-pound range. Anglers fishing for trout along Casino Row have done fairly well with Kastmasters. The marshy areas below Laughlin are giving up largemouth bass to anglers fishing from a boat or kayak.

Black Bass Action is Good!

by AARON MEIER

Black bass action is good in the middle portion of the reservoir. Look for the fish in coves north and south of Cottonwood Cove. Bass and catfish are holding in submerged vegetation not far from shore. Work the brush with plastics and jigs near for bass and try anchovies or chicken livers for catfish.

Bluegill, Bass and Catfish Have All Been Active in Recent Days!

Las Vegas Urban Ponds

by AARON MEIER

Bluegill, bass and catfish have all been active in recent days, but expect the activity to slow down when the triple-digit temperatures settle in to stay. Mealworms have been working well for catfish and Bluegill. Bass have been a little harder to catch, but a few anglers have been doing well jigging rubber worms or throwing crankbaits.

Night Fishing working Best!

by AARON MEIER

Night fishing for striped bass and catfish is working best now that we are reaching 100 degree daytime temperatures. Striped bass are hitting on frozen anchovy pieces between Government Wash and 33 Hole. Striper boils have been seen throughout the lower basin. Black bass are hitting on jointed shad lures and plastics outside of Callville Bay and Echo Bay

This is One of the Best Years I Have Seen!

Colorado River - Davis Dam

by RUSTY

This is one of the best years I have seen both for Rainbow Trout and striper action. I am hearing of a lot of catch and release which is really a good idea. Just be careful with the fish and thanks for sharing your stories and catches. I am getting reports that striper action is going well from needles to the Davis dam. Both sides

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by PYRAMID LAKE STAFF

Fishing for all species has been picking up with the warmer weather and anglers have been having great luck all over. Stripers are still biting very well, mainly on Sardines, Lugworms, and chicken liver. Catfish have also been caught using the chicken liver and cut bait like anchovies or mackerel. People have been catching both Largemouth and Smallmouth bass using more reaction baits such as

Kinda on Fire!

by MATT KOLES

Kinda on fire. I only say that a few times a year. Yes, the Truckee River is fishing very well right now. Flows have dropped to just about average and the water is warming. Bugs and fish galore. I did have one bad day last week. We fished streamers all day, some days they just don’t chase. If you nymph, or throw the dry dropper, you’ll

Shore Anglers Have Been Doing Well!

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake level is still high and there was a large algae bloom over the last couple of weeks. The lake has a nice green tint to it, but the shore anglers have been doing well with Green or rainbow Powerbait.
