Spring is here and Baily is fishing very well for stocked trout

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Spring is here and Baily is fishing very well for stocked trout. As temperatures increase, the grteen sunfish will start to turn on again. Salmon eggs or small worms under a bobber and power worms or power bait off the bottom is always effective at Baily. Fly fishing with small nymphs should be effective when there are no fish on the surface.

Lake Tahoe is offering strong spring fishing conditions

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.

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

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
