Riviera Marina Fishing Report

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

Here are a few stripers we caught a while back. This is about the size that should be running now—but they’re not. The striper bite has slowed down on Lake Mohave, and anglers are mostly just driving around looking for fish. The largemouth bass are in spawning mode—either on the nest or guarding fry (baby fish). While striped bass are being spotted, they’re not showing much

Typical Spring weather on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Typical Spring weather on the Truckee River. 70's one week, 30's another. Looks to wam up this week, but another cold front next weekend. Flows are up, but really not that high. 650 or so here in Hirschdale, and about 800 cfs out East on the lower Truckee River in Nevada. That's nothing. Clarity is rather good. Still, fish the edges. Do not fish the middle stuff. Trouts

The bite at Pyramid is in a bit of a limbo right now

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The bite at Pyramid is in a bit of a limbo right now. With the majority of the fish focused on spawning they are mostly lock-jawed, at least the ones you can see. Fishing with indicators and putting it past the fish tight to the shore will better your odds by putting your flies in front of fish that may still be interested in eating.

We are seeing flows drop on the Truckee River and the snow is on the hill for just a bit longer

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

With cooler days last week the runoff has slowed. We are seeing flows drop on the Truckee River and the snow is on the hill for just a bit longer. Around Glenshire we have seen flows drop from 750 to 575 CFS in the last 7 days. At Farad they have dropped from 900 to 700 CFS. These flows will make the river easier to

Fishing has been good at Mitch Pond
