Lake Mohave Catfish Action

by RUSTY

Up on Lake Mohave the Channel Catfish are biting on worms, anchovies, chicken and liver. Your best spots are the coves above the power lines. Anglers have some luck with the Striped Bass in the mouths of the coves near the Davis Dam and the points of the coves seem to be your best bet.

Truckee River Stocking Report

by NDOW

Is there such a thing as Christmas in August? The Truckee River flows have finally reached a level that allows us to start stocking fish. Tomorrow morning, Mason Valley Hatchery will load a truck with over 6,500 rainbow trout. They will be stocked from the bridges through Reno and Sparks including Patagonia, Fisherman’s Park, Booth St and Virginia St. The fish will average 8-10”.

Sceirine Ranch Fish Report

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by JIM REID

The ranch fished ok this week, seemed like mainly smaller fish down there, most in the 12 to 16 inch range, dry/dropper rigs worked pretty well for one angler while most were fishing nymphs and getting into some fish.

Topaz Lake Fish Report

by DOUG BUSEY

I ventured up last Saturday evening with Tom Blotter from Minden NV. We started trolling at 6:30 pm, got our first hookup at 6:30 and 45 seconds. Fishing turned off with in the hour and a half. Next morning we started at 5:30 am. I caught 2 and Tom caught 7, we were fishing on the south end of the lake. and by the noon

Truckee River Fishing Report

by MATT KOLES

Hot is the word here in Tahoe/Truckee/Reno on the Truckee River. Nice in the mornings, hot as hell in the afternoons. They will set a record for consecutive days over 90 in Reno this summer. Thankfully, we have water in the river this summer or they’d been nuked already. I have done a little guiding in NV-Reno, on the Truckee River. The future looks bright for the

Sceirine Ranch Fish Report

by JIM REID

We haven’t had anyone on the ranch this week but when the flows start to come down we expect the fishing to be excellent down there!

Truckee River Fly Fishing Report

by MATT KOLES

Pretty good solid fishing on the Truckee River. Flows have stayed pretty steady this week at just under 500 cubes here in the Hirsch. Good average summertime flows. These fish are back in all their summertime holding spots. Trouts have moved into last oxygenated water. It is hot out and trout need cool water. The cool water is in the fast stuff. Yes, you will need to

Topaz Lake Fish Report

by DOUG BUSEY

I talked with fellow angler and long time friend Dan Maldonado. He fished a couple weeks ago with his wife and had good success on the California side with various colors of powerbait. Dan told me the rainbows were 14 to 19 inches and very clean and healthy. If you decide to do some trolling, I would get out early and be off the lake by

Lake Mohave Fish Report

by RUSTY

Kris Moore landed a 5.2 pound striper at 24 and 5/8 inches (blue shirt) he was fishing up on Lake Mohave near the dam.

Colorado River Fish Report

by RUSTY

The Striped Bass outlook is great on the Colorado River. Striper fishing below Davis dam is producing well but its mostly in the one pound range. Cut anchovies are barely able to stay on the hook before these bait stealers get to your hook. My suggestion is the bait wrap thread on a #1 or 2 hook. Our anglers Robert Tyler (white shirt) and Dillon

Hobart Fish Report

Hobart Reservoir

by LIZ WEIRAUCH

All roads in are Closed. You'll have to hike in. NDOW is working with road crews to see if repairs can be made, but due to the amount of damage everywhere from this epic winter, it probably isn't something high on their radar.

Truckee Fish Report

by LIZ WEIRAUCH

Water flows are all over the map. Water temps in the morning are running about 60 degrees. It was fishing pretty good. Watch where you are standing, don't be a drowning victim. Deaddrift crawfish, buggers, the standard sierra fare.

Topaz Lake Fish Report

by LIZ WEIRAUCH

A lot of water in the lake, which is pleasant to see. 3 times now, they've gotten close to capacity and they divert the water around Red Hill. The inlet area is off color far sade near the campgrounds will be better. Bass fishing is sporatic right now.

E. Carson NV Fish Report

East Carson River (NV)

by LIZ WEIRAUCH

Flows: between 1150 and 950cfs Getting a losing a few more cfs (Cubic Feet per Second) off of the irrigation canals. It's pretty close to fishable (not really wadable) We'll be taking a water temp next week to let NDOW know the temps for a stocking, though we'd prefer it to be down to the 500 cfs level so the fish are not swept into

Spooner Lake Fish Report

by LIZ WEIRAUCH

Stocked 3 times in 60 days. Weed bed is starting to grown Float tube is best for now. Leach patterns, Prince Nymphs, zugbugs, red or black zebra midges, prince, PT's, martis midges, buggers in black, purple and white. Catch a chub, kill it. (and you'll catch lots of those).

Private property, no longer open to the public.

Desert Creek Fish Report

by LIZ WEIRAUCH

Stocked a couple of weeks ago. Still pretty heavy, in about 10 days should be much easier to fish. Fun little water, use your stealth not a lot of water in it. They'll happily take a dry, madam X EHC, a small hopper, Royal Wulff.

Jiggs Fishing Report

Jiggs Reservoir (Zunino Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Good water level and fairly clear water have improved fishing conditions at Jiggs Reservoir and fishing is good here when the wind isn’t blowing. Shore fishermen don’t appear to be faring as well as boaters or float tube anglers as the edges are getting a bit weedy and the fish are hanging in the deeper cooler water. Remember this is a wakeless water.

Ruby Lake Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Bass fishing is fair to almost good as the hot weather has the water warming up. The good news is that approximately three fourths of the fish caught are keepers. With water levels up the bass are spread out more so anglers need to move until they find them. Dark plastic four to six inch grubs with sparkles in them seem to be

Wild Horse Reservoir Fishing Report

Wild Horse Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Even though surface water temperatures are above 70 degrees, trout fishing is still pretty good. It appears that the trick is the color orange. Several groups of anglers have had good luck fishing either early in the morning or fishing deeper using orange rooster tails, spoons or minnow imitations. Bait fishermen should use the usual worms or PowerBait for trout. Sherbet

Willow Creek Reservoir Fishing Report

Willow Creek Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The lake is almost to capacity and fishing for keeper crappie has been fair to good. The road is rough so care should be taken driving here. Crappie should be in the shallows among the flooded willows and shrubs though you will lose some gear. Anglers report catching crappie in the rocks, fishing a small white plastic grub underneath a bobber.
