Nevada Fish Reports


Onion has been fishing really well this summer

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Onion has been fishing really well this summer for a few carryover trout and the recently stocked trout. Small spinners and spoons from shore have been great in addition to power bait and crawlers off the bottom. Fly fisherman have done well using large dries early and late in the day. Small streamer flies have been effective when there’s no fish on the surface.

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY
I had to dig this one up since the fishing has slowed down a bit. This was on the billboard at the end of town by the Laughlin Bridge. It's me holding a fish with Allen Cole, who was inducted into the Fishing Hall of Fame for his AC Plug and his outstanding fishing accomplishments. This is one of the larger stripers he landed, weighing

Closing weekend for the fishing season

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
Pyramid Lake is currently full, and the boat launch remains open. It is the closing weekend for fishing season at Pyramid Lake. The last day of the season is June 30th. Most anglers are finding the best success from float tubes, kayaks, or boats while fishing depths around 50 feet. Most fish are being caught using Pyramid-style jigs, Sierra Spoons, midges, balanced leeches, and various

Lots of good looking rainbows

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
Current Water Conditions Flows measuring 250 CFS out of Tahoe City, 257 CFS through the town of Truckee, 304 CFS through the Glenshire area, and 700 CFS near Farad. Water temperatures are starting to increase with the warmer weather pattern the area is seeing. Because of that, early mornings and evenings are the best chances to get the most bites. Water clarity is fantastic. Wading conditions

The pond has reopened and has been stocked with trout this season

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The pond has reopened and has been stocked with trout this season. Pink floating power worms fished off the bottom are a favorite at Davis. Small dry flies can be fun fishing early and late in the day.

Marilyn’s Pond has been fishing very well but has also been busy

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Marilyn’s Pond has been fishing very well but has also been busy. Mid-week is definitely a better option if you’re looking for a little peace and quiet. Light leaders and tackle has been the key to success at the pond. Stocking will slow down a little as we really heat up but should still fish well through the summer heat.

Stocking continues through the summer at Bail

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Stocking continues through the summer at Baily and trout fishing should remain good until temps no longer allow trout to be stocked. The Rainbow trout in Baily are caught primarily on salmon eggs and power bait on the bottom or under a bobber. Small wet flies and lures are also very effective on the pond. Fishing has been best for trout early and late in

Fishing has been good at Kinney

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing has been good at Kinney. Tiger trout up to 16 inches have been caught recently. Pink floating power worms and night crawlers off the bottom or under a bobber has been working well. Some fish have been on the surface early and late and can be targeted with dry flies.

Great river conditions

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
Overall, conditions on the river are great. The flows are right at average for this time of year, and so are water temps. As expected for this time of year, we have begun to see some sections of the river near hoot owl levels and with these rising water temps, we encourage anglers to really focus on the morning hours at this point. If fishing

Trolling is the most productive

by ARIZONA GAME & FISH DEPARTMENT
Report courtesy of Rusty at Riviera Marina. Local angler Mike M. recently landed a limit of striped bass. Fishing from an island and using anchovies as bait, he put together an impressive stringer of fish. These smaller-sized stripers are easy to clean and make excellent fish tacos, along with plenty of other great meals. There are many productive spots for striper fishing below Davis Dam on

The mackinaw have been scattered throughout the water column

by DOUG BUSEY
The mackinaw have been scattered throughout the water column. One day they’re deep, and the next they’re suspended. Keep an eye on your sonar to ensure your presentation is in the right area and depth. Cave Rock, particularly along the southwest side near the rocks and knolls, has been producing good fish. The Camp Richardson area offers an early-morning bite with jigs or by trolling

Fishing has improved slightly during the early morning hours

by DOUG BUSEY
Fishing has improved slightly during the early morning hours. Once the jet skiers and recreational boaters arrive, the bite tends to slow down. Remember the rules of boating: reduce your speed to a no-wake zone when within 100 to 200 feet of a swimming area, beach, or moored vessel. If your wake causes damage, you can be held liable. Let’s all stay safe on the water.

Mixed Bag Action on Tahoe

by ROBERT VARIK
Fishing on Lake Tahoe was a mixed bag this week. A few jumbo lake trout were landed, with the biggest weighing up to 23 pounds. Kokanee salmon are starting to show up, and anglers are beginning to catch a few. Some decent rainbow trout and brown trout have also been caught randomly around the lake. Fishing should continue to improve as more kokanee move into the area

22-Pound Striper

by RUSTY
Well, it's been a little slow lately when it comes to anglers bringing in photos of their catches, so I decided to use an older picture of the twins with their impressive 22-pound striper. Mike and Mitch Jones were fishing the river when they landed this trophy-sized fish. This time of year, the striper bite can slow down a bit, and anglers have to work a

Best bet for success will be euro nymphing!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
As water temps continue to rise on the Truckee the dry fly bite has been a bit tougher this week. With the fish mostly holding in the fast moving sections of the Truckee, your best bet for success will be euro nymphing, focusing on the deeper pockets and riffles. The dry dropper fishing still remains a great option as well, with good numbers of fish

Good fishing in the morning!

by MATT KOLES
Feeling the heat on the Truckee River. Mid 90's every afternoon in the Hirsch, with a shot at a thunderstorm or 2.  Good fishing if you get out in the mornings and can wade in the faster pocket water. Good luck if you can't. Probably be tough.  Flows are very good, and that's keeping water temps in the healthy range. 650, here in Hirschdale. And good news,
