Fishing has been damn good on the Truckee, and in both states.

by MATT KOLES

Feeling a lot like fall in the greater Truckee-Tahoe-Reno area on the Truckee River. Great, as our last two falls were more like summer. If you were here last weekend you would have seen snow on Donner, the Sisters, and Mt. Rose. Fired up the wood stove, first time I can remember doing that in September in years. We have another week system coming

Temperatures are cooling and fishing is getting better. PMDs are fading. Nymphing or using crayfish patterns are a way to go, as are darker colored stoneflies.

A new record was set at Lake Mohave when a spear fisherman caught a 41" Striped Bass

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

A new record was set last Friday at Willow Beach when a lucky spear fisherman brought in a 41-inch striped bass. Since no existing record has been documented for striped bass taken without a hook-and-line technique along the Colorado River, this fish sets the bar. Further south, anglers have been bringing in largemouth, smallmouth and striped bass as well as catfish. Anchovies have

U.S. Open bass tournament at Lake Mead will take place at the beginning of the week

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

With the U.S. Open bass tournament taking place at the beginning of the week, anglers encountered a few extra boats on the water along with periodic thunderstorms. Launching out of Callville Bay, participating anglers reportedly found some "brutal" fishing conditions but still managed to catch plenty of smaller bass. Many were using a drop shot technique or throwing crankbaits. Despite the difficult fishing,

Fishing on the Truckee River is really starting to come on

by MATT KOLES

We are starting to get into some fall fishing, or I should say Indian Summer fishing on the Truckee River. Both states have been fishing very well. Days are still warm, but nights have cooled and are shorter than a few months ago. Crayfish and big goldens are still on top of the menu. October caddis are also active. I looked through a run down

The Summit Lake strain which has been the main strain in the lake for the last 20 years or more and the Pilot Peak Strain which was introduced back into the lake in 2006-2007. Both strains of fish

Fishing on the Truckee is getting better as the temperatures cool

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS

Flows continue to remain close to the way they have been almost all summer. This was predicted in OUR spring drought forecast put out by NOAA in March. Changes are on the horizon with fall and the end of irrigation season right around the corner. For now the water temperatures are coming down and are not a factor anymore. The only section of the river

Fishing improved this past week with anglers catching lots of trout during a tournament on Saturday. Most of the fish measured in the 10- to 12-inch range. Bass are also taking baits.

Anglers at Willow Beach have found good fishing for large stripers, some in the double-digit range. One fish tipped the scales at 22 pounds. Many of the fish are taking A.C. Plugs and a variety of swimbaits. Further south, striper anglers are finding success with jigging techniques in 40 to 60 feet of water. Fishing also has been good for largemouth and smallmouth bass.

Striped Bass, & Largemouth & Smallmouth Bass are active right now at Lake Mead

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Mark Eddison had a theory that the larger stripers were hanging out in deep water. Luckily for him his theory panned out when he reeled in a 30-pound striper. Eddison caught his trophy on a pink Spinnow in 60 to 70 feet of water near Sand Island. Top-water action remains good and many anglers are returning with full coolers. Those fishing for largemouth

The Truckee has been fishing very well

by MATT KOLES

A lot smokey up here in the greater Tahoe-Truckee-Reno area on the Truckee River. The Rim Fire in Yosemite has the whole area under smoke. Thing is fish like the smoke, acts like cloud cover. The smoke has actually kept temps down, and the bite going through the end of August. The whole river has been fishing well in both states. Very good for late
