Colorado River Fishing Report

by RUSTY
Our local angler was fishing from his boat and throwing his favorite lure. He practice's catch and release with the large and small mouth bass. Our trout sites are producing some rainbow trout action and Power bait seems to work the best. A good technique to try is when your bait slows go to your favorite spinner. Barry Annin stopped in for some power bait

Sceirine Ranch Fishing Report

by JIM REID
We’ve only had a few clients on the Sceirine over the past couple weeks, the fishing down there has been pretty good still though. There seems to be some really nice fish hanging out on the ranch with some stretching the tape up to around 25 or 26 inches. The numbers haven’t been quite as good as earlier in the summer but some anglers are

Willow Creek Reservoir Fishing Report

by ARIZONA GAME & FISH DEPARTMENT
Largemouth bass are the predominant species. Rob reports the bass fishing is fair. Shore fishing is difficult due to the aquatic vegetation although the cold temperatures have helped cleared some of that mess. Try top water baits so you can eliminate some of the snagging. If you are in a boat or float tube you can always retrieve your baits without too much difficulty. Try

Lake Tahoe Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY
Fishing for mackinaw has been rated as very good. As the weather gets colder the mackinaw seem to get bigger. I have caught my largest mackinaw at 39 inches in early December. Favorite areas have been north of Emerald Bay in 30 to 120 feet of water, trolling Rapalas in a black and silver pattern. Cave Rock to the Logan Shoals area will start

Truckee River Fishing Report-11-8-16

by MATT KOLES
High pressure is dominating our weather for the first week of November, outlook is for continued sunshine until maybe a pattern change before T-giving. So that’s good for the fishing on the river. Obviously warm days this time of year are better than cold ones. Good for the nymphing, not so good for the streamer fishing, or dry fly fishing. Flows are really good

Big news, trout are coming back with the first stocking the week of Sept. 12. This will be the first of several stockings planned for the area.

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP
The fishing at Pyramid Lake has been as sporadic as the weather. True to form during the stormier periods the fishing has been more consistent. Not to say you can’t pick up fish during calm weather it is just at its best when clouds and wind provide some comfort and cover for the trout to feed in closer to shore. The cooler weather and storms

Truckee River Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP
We got a really nice bump in flows during that last storm and it really freshened things up on the Big Truckee. Fish are spread out throughout the system and are eager to take a fly. Streamers and larger nymphs seem to be the flies of choice now. However a cloudy day with showers can be an amazing time on the Big T
