Truckee River Update

by MATT KOLES

Cold nights, mild days on the Truckee River. Not a lot of change since last report. Flows and fishing and weather remains basically the same. We have pushed some big fish around on streamers lately. That time of year. Seems like the fishing has been better and trouts willing to chase after the water warms a little bit. We haven’t really had any weather, so it’s not

Lake Mead Preparation

Lake Mead

by JASON HALEY

I just spent my first day on Lake Mead in preparation for the 35th Annual WON Bass U.S. Open. Wow! This place is amazing. It's hard to focus due to the spectacular scenery and wildlife. The water is clear, with visibility to nearly 30 feet. Schools of Striped Bass are chasing shad all over the lake. I caught two on a top water plug by

Sceirine Ranch Fish Report

by JIM REID

The ranch is fishing very well lately with most anglers reporting good numbers of fish with some 18 to 24 inchers thrown into the mix. Streamers seem to be the best bet down here as well though we did have one angler who caught a couple fish running a dry/dropper rig. The ranch is getting booked up a couple weekends in advance lately so if

Eagle Valley Reservoir Fishing Report

Eagle Valley Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The rainbow action has been very good this past week, with most anglers leaving with their limits. Bait fishers have been doing well using the usual orange or green Powerbait, but pink became the color of choice for many of the anglers who acquired those limits. Rooster tail and Mepps lures were also working well for boaters and float tubers.

Echo Canyon Reservoir Fishing Report

Echo Canyon Reservoir

The fishing action has been quiet this past week with only a few anglers trying their luck. The water levels remain low, but are starting to rise, as the aquatic vegetation has been dying off. The rainbows have been taking pink powerbait to add to the usual orange or green powerbait and power eggs.

Lake Mohave Fishing Report

Lake Mohave

Shore fishing is slow on the north end out of Willow Beach. Anglers are having trouble getting out past the weeds near the fishing pier. Those anglers that are getting out on the water are having good success with striped bass. Trout are still be stocked south of the Willow Marina. Trout fishing is good with the cooler waters.

Lake Mead Fishing Report

Lake Mead

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Cooler weather is here, with a few warm days mixed in. Those warm days will be great to go out for black bass and crappie in the Overton Arm. Black Bass has started to slow, but anglers have had some success at sunrise and sunset using drop shots near underwater cliffs. Near the Boulder Islands, black bass are biting on a variety of popper lures.

Sceirine Ranch Fish Report

The ranch has been fishing very well lately, the streamer action seems to be the best with nymphing a close second. Most of the patterns listed above have also been working on the ranch. The Sceirine is getting booked up a bit in advance lately so if you want reservations plan ahead as best you can.

Truckee River is Solid

by MATT KOLES

Cold nights, mild days. Should cool more this week with high’s only in the 50’s. Nights will be in the upper teens. So, the best fishing should be mid-day at least on the Cali side. The Nevada side stays warmer, but both sides have been fishing well, all around, any time. Flows are still above average for October and should remain good into winter. 388 cfs

Eagle Valley Reservoir

Rainbow trout have been hitting well this past week on a variety of flies and lures. Bait fishers have found good action with night crawlers or PowerBait in green or orange. Crappies continue to take small jigs fished below bobbers near the boat dock. The water level has been rising due to recent rains, and cooler temperatures are knocking the weeds back.

Echo Canyon Reservoir

Only a few anglers were seen around the reservoir this past week, but those who ventured out found much improved fishing for rainbow trout. Cooling water temperatures also have begun to kill off the aquatic vegetation and open up the shoreline to fishing. Water levels are on the rise.

Truckee River Fishing Report

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

General reg section from tahoe city to trout creek: Fishing well for the first time in years! Flows are up and recently anglers are seeing an increase in catch rates! This stretch of the Truckee this year could be very good as a lot of fish have moved up the system to occupy spots that were vacated during the drought! Best bets on this stretch will be

Truckee River Fishing Report

Flows got bumped up last weekend and the weather will be cold with scattered rain showers/snow continuing until thursday evening!

Truckee River Fishing Report

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

With flows going down on this stretch of water one should see varying amounts of activity but light leaders and stealthy approaches will be required. Access is wide open here now and fish will be found everywhere throughout the system. Trout here will be feeding on a steady diet of Midges in the morning and then turning their attention to PMD’s and Baetis throughout the day

Sceirine Ranch Fish Report

by JIM REID

The ranch is still fishing very well on streamers and nymphs, like the Cali side nothing much on dries. Most of the same patterns that are listed above are doing well with dead drift crayfish and san juan worms working especially well. The traffic is pretty light on the ranch compared to the California side so the fish tend to be a little more grabby down

East Walker River Fish Report

East Walker River (NV)

by JIM REID

The East is down to around 260 cfs now and is starting to liven up. We’ve been getting some very good reports and of course some that are not so good as well. It’s still very technical fishing so you need to be on your game to get into decent numbers of fish. The fish that are being caught are mostly in the 12 to

Sceirine Ranch Fish Report

by JIM REID

The ranch has been fishing well this past week, lots of nice fish in the 14 to 24 inch range being caught down there. Most of the same patterns that are being fished on the California side are working on the ranch. One difference is that we have had a couple good reports on dry/dropper rigs down there, not sure why but that seems to

Topaz Lake Fish Report

Topaz Lake

by DOUG BUSEY

Fishing in between rain storms has been a challenge this week. My advice is to get up there early and leave early. Tom and I fished from 6 am to 2 pm on Wednesday. We fished Rapalas and Needlefish lures. The bite was fair and we caught and released 17 fish ranging from 12 inches to a few pounds. We also kept 2 fish in
