I fished a 1 once red/black dotted torpedo spoon while Tom used a 2 ounce two tone lime torpedo spoon. We were fishing lead core with 4-7 colors in 30 to 60 feet of water. The fishing

Topaz Lake Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY

Truckee River Fishing Report

by MATT KOLES
Kinda the best fall fishing we’ve had in a few years on the Truckee River. The last few we just haven’t had any water. Dismal to say the least. I was mostly at Pyramid Lake last couple falls because I just didn’t want to shoot fish in a barrel on the river. Other guides were guiding the river, folks were fishing, but I tried to stay

Willow Creek Reservoir Fishing Report

Largemouth bass are the predominant species in this lake and warmer temperatures make the bass more active. Rob reports the bite has slowed a lot and the weeds are horrible. Shore fishing is difficult due to the aquatic vegetation. 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

Colorado River Fishing Report

by ARIZONA GAME & FISH DEPARTMENT
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.

The Sceirine is still fishing pretty well with most anglers reporting lots of nice rainbows and browns up to around 22 inches.

There are some open dates down there if you’re interested in having some prime East Walker water to yourself!

Sceirine Ranch Fishing Report

by JIM REID
Some of the better reports we've been getting have been from the ranch this past week, there's pretty good numbers of both rainbows and browns hanging out on the ranch property. This could be due to better water quality or the lack of pressure, either way it's not a bad choice of water. The same patterns that are hitting on the rest of the river
