Fishing is good

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing is good. Black Bass are hitting drop-shot rigs with creature baits and deep-diving crankbaits. Stripers are hitting on anchovies from shore near Boxcar Cove and outside Hemenway Harbor. Crappie fishing is peaking in the Overton Arm. Anglers are finding success with chartreuse jigs and tubes. Catfish are becoming more active as water levels warm throughout the day. Sunset fishing seems to produce the most

Lake Tahoe is offering strong spring fishing conditions

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Lake Tahoe is offering strong spring fishing conditions. Anglers are reporting steady catches of Mackinaw (lake trout), brown trout, and some rainbow trout. Mackinaw in the 5–9 lb range are being caught by trolling at depths of 70–120 feet using minnow-style plugs like Rapalas or AC Plugs. Jigging with white or chartreuse tube jigs tipped with sucker meat is also effective. Shore fishing is productive

Spring is alive on the Truckee River!

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Current Water Conditions Spring is alive on the Truckee River! Snowmelt runoff has increased flows, creating dynamic fishing conditions. The best sections right now are below Tahoe City and around Glenshire. Flows are currently 80 CFS out of Tahoe City, 320 CFS through Truckee, and 744 CFS near Farad. Perfect water from the Town of Truckee to Alpine Meadows where bear creek flows in. Lower in

As we enter in the final few weeks at Pyramid we have seen the bite slow and the average size of the fish reduced

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

As we enter in the final few weeks at Pyramid we have seen the bite slow and the average size of the fish reduced. In another couple of weeks, the fish will finish up their spawn and move back into deeper water. Once this happens, the bite can be very good once again for those getting out on a boat, pontoon or float tube and

As of today, we are seeing the flows around Glenshire at 800+ CFS

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

As of today, we are seeing the flows around Glenshire at 800+ CFS, while the gauge at Farad is reading just under 1,000 CFS. The forecast is calling for typical spring temps of upper 50’s to low 60’s here in Truckee. We expect a slow, but continued ramp up of the flows on the river, which is ideal. Despite a great snowpack last year, the

The LCT are still chasing each other in shallow water

by RENO FLY SHOP

Not a lot of change out at the lake. The LCT are still chasing each other in shallow water. Fortunately, with this many fish in shallow water it is only a matter of time before one bites your fly. The naked technique (fishing a floating line without a bobber) has been the most effective with retrieving flies a close second. This time of year, with the fish

The Truckee River has fished well over the last week and is starting to see an increase in flow

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River has fished well over the last week and is starting to see an increase in flow. Warm spring temperatures are causing the snow at lower to mid elevations to melt. The Truckee has maintained a clarity of around 3-4’. Flows at the Reno gauge are hovering around 700-800 cfs but could rise or fall with air temperature over the coming days. Nymph fishing

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by THE FLY SHOP

The lake continues to fish well and should be a good place to get a good chance at a large dinosaur trout. Windy conditions can have the fish stack up, keep your head on a swivel for the best locations to target the school. Indicator nymphing with Balanced Leeches and Chironomids are producing the most consistent right now, but stripping Popcorn Beetles, Midnight Cowboys, or

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

Well, this time it's my son Albert and me heading out for some river fishing. We're leaving the marina and making our way through the canal that leads to the Colorado River. This time of year, shore fishing is doing well. Anchovies are producing stripers, and swim baits are working too. I like using something in a trout pattern, but white and yellow are always great

The road to Wilson is clear and completely dry and the lake is full. There is opportunity for open water fishing from the shorelines. With the precipitation forecasted for this weekend, expect the road and shorelines to be a bit muddy. PowerBait and worms or small flashy spinners should work for spin anglers, while small nymph, midge and leech patterns should work for fly anglers.

South Fork Reservoir

State Park staff has opened the main boat ramp for the season. Water temperatures are sitting in the low 40s. Spring stocking has begun with over 5,000 rainbow trout stocked last week.
