Perfect time on the Truckee River!

by MATT KOLES

That perfect time on the Truckee River. We get that golden window every year right around now. We'll see how long it lasts, but if the flows and the water temps stay like this, it should stay good, and when I say good, I mean good. Big fish, small fish ,they're all eating. Eating? Well, any bug that swims is hatching. Golden stones, caddis, pmd. Look

Ash Canyon Road to Hobart Reservoir is now OPEN for the season! Carson City Parks, Recreation & Open Space opened Ash Canyon Road last week, and anglers are already enjoying the beautiful spring fishing at Hobart!

by RENO FLY SHOP

While the Pyramid Lake season is officially open until the end of June we begin to wrapup our shore fishing around the middle/end of May. There is still some great fish to be caught with the approach usually across the lake or in the more difficult to reach depths. Our recommended guide service for fishing Pyamid Lake from a boat is, Lacey's Guide Service. Hans

Warm days on the Truckee

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The warm days on the Truckee have made flows trend upwards, but not really to the point of it hindering the fishing. In fact, as mentioned above, the weather has made the bugs go nuts, and we are getting more topwater eats this week than we have in the last few months. The most exciting of these newly emerging bugs, in our opinion, is the

Trout Stocking Update – Rusty at Riviera Marina

Colorado River - Davis Dam

by RUSTY

This time of year, we receive rainbow trout brought in from a hatchery in Colorado—Crowthers Hatchery, to be exact. These trout are stocked to help control the caddis fly population along the shores of the Colorado River, just below Davis Dam. The trout feed on the caddis flies, helping to manage the issue naturally. This effort began after the Willow Beach Hatchery stopped stocking trout, citing

Wild Horse Reservoir

Wildhorse is full and spilling. Water temps are still sitting in the mid 50s. Trout are moving into the shallows, improving catch rates from shore. Anglers are catching trout averaging 16″ to 22″.

Water temperatures are creeping into the 60s with the warm air temps. Mormon crickets have arrived at the reservoir and are falling into the water. Both trout and bass are hitting the crickets hard.

Lake Tahoe is shaping up nicely for anglers

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Lake Tahoe is shaping up nicely for anglers this week, with clear skies, calm mornings, and surface temperatures ranging from 53–56°F. Midges and small mayflies are hatching along the shoreline, especially early in the day. Trolling with lead core or downriggers at 30–60 feet is producing solid results for lake trout, with most macks in the 3–6 lb range and the occasional double-digit catch. Kokanee

The bite still remains hot

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

With the season winding down at Pyramid Lake, the bite still remains hot. Trolling near Warrior Point, Monument Point, or Hell’s Kitchen at 70–100 ft with flatfish or spoons is producing nice Lahontan Cutthroat. The lake closes June 30—fish it while you can.

Rainbows and browns are both showing up in the net

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Current Water Conditions This week on the Truckee River, flows are moderating slightly but still reflect the tail end of spring runoff. Expect flows around 75 CFS out of Tahoe City, 295 CFS through Truckee, and 977 CFS near Farad. With most of the spring run-off done, water clarity is good throughout the entire day. The river is fishing good all day, especially in shadowed pockets

The road to Angel Lake is open

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The road to Angel Lake is open. The majority of the lake is still covered with ice, and the banks are snowy and icy. Exercise caution as the lake and shorelines continue to thaw.

Things are firing off on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Things are firing off on the Truckee River. Great weather for Memorial Day weekend. Heading right into Summer. June will be a great month. Warm weather, and perfect water temps. Lots of bugs out. Pretty much everything popping off. Will you get any good dry fly fishing? Probably not, but you will if you nymph. If you're lucky and we get some cloud cover then yeah,

Angler Report: Lake Tahoe

by FISH REPORTS STAFF

Lake Tahoe Fishing Report Date: April 30, 2025 Submitted by: Jason Report: Jason’s wife, Diana, caught two Mackinaw trout at Lake Tahoe—one weighed 25 pounds and the other 20 pounds. They tried to release both fish. The 20-pounder swam away just fine, but the bigger fish didn’t make it.

Days are getting warmer and warmer

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The days are getting warmer and warmer, and we are seeing the flows come back up a bit on the Truckee this week. At the Farad USGS gauge, we are seeing flows creep back up over 1,000 CFS again this week. We are seeing half of the flows along Glenshire Drive right around, right at 500 CFS. Despite this significant difference, most sections are fishing

Trout fishing has been fair to good

Jiggs Reservoir (Zunino Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Expect muddy shorelines due to intermittent precipitation over the last few weeks. Trout fishing has been fair to good for fish in the 9″ range and should remain consistent with the spring stocking that occurred on 5/12/25.

Trout will start hitting dry flies as the weather warms up.

The reservoir is full and spilling

Wilson Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The road to Wilson is drying out after a few weeks of intermittent precipitation. The reservoir is full and spilling. There is opportunity for open water fishing from the shorelines. Trout fishing has been good. PowerBait and worms or small flashy spinners should work for spin anglers, while small nymph, midge and leech patterns should work for fly anglers. Bass fishing remains slow but is

Fishing should be really good for spin and fly anglers

Hobart Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The Ash Canyon road to Hobart is open. Fishing should be really good for spin and fly anglers. Fly fisherman should expect good dry fly fishing with ants and callibaetis mayflies early in the day until the wind picks up. When the surface activity slows, a red copper john slowly retrieved or under an indicator is pretty hard to beat. Spin fisherman using small spinners
