Quanity Down Quality Up

Pyramid Lake

by MATT KOLES

Pyramid Lake has been good. Sure, I’ve had some shitty days out at the lake, but if you can stay until dark even on those slow days you should get some grabs. Cloud cover and wind are your friend, but it is winter now at the lake and the quantity will drop, but the quality will go up. You just have to man up, brace

El Nino Storms could create Great Winter Fishing

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

The Truckee River has been very cold, low flows, and massive anchor ice forming. It has not been a good week to fish the river. With the low flows and extremely low air temps this last week, anchor ice has formed on almost it’s entire length. That was the coldest we’ve been since ’13. It was -14 here in the Hirsch. Now it is warming

Truckee River Update

Truckee River

by TAHOE FLY FISHING STAFF

This past week has been cold to say the least. With temps in the teens to single digits, winter is here and the crowds are lacking. At least on the water.

Pyramid Lake

It's Cold!

Pyramid Lake

by MATT KOLES

A very cold arctic air mass has swept down and blanketed all of Truckee-Reno-and Lake Tahoe with very cold temps. We picked up almost a foot of snow here in the Hirsch, and upwards of 2 feet on top. Honestly, here in Hirschdale we have not had a storm like this since ’11. I actually used the snowblower on this one. Pyramid Lake is where

Kirch Wildlife Management Area Update

Striper Action OK

Lake Mead

by IVY SANTEE

Striper action has been described as being okay during the morning and evening hours. Windy conditions have made boating and fishing difficult for much of the past week. Live shad and swimbaits are catching most of the fish, some pushing five to six pounds. Look for shad and stripers both in deep water.

Winter Fishing Pattern

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

The Truckee River is still the same at 80 cfs here in the Hirsch, and 100 cfs down below. We are in a winter type pattern fishing scenario. Things are going to get very, very cold next week, and honesty your best bet is to go fish Pyramid Lake, or the Little Truckee because it will be tough going on the main Truckee. We have
