Lake Mead Fish Report 06-19-07

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Boaters have been finding some success for both smallmouth and largemouth bass in the upper reaches of the lake. The fish have been holding near structure and brush. Anglers have been taking the fish with crankbaits, plastic worms and tube baits. Stripers are beginning to push shad to the surface and creating some opportunities for top-water fishing. Top-water action should pick up as striper boils

Gene St. Denis of Blue Ribbon Charters and Tahoe Trophy Trout at South Lake Tahoe, Calif. (530-544-6552): We've been trolling at 50-240 feet deep.

On Tuesday, a lady from Illinois caught and released a 34-inch Mack.

Topaz Lake Fish Report (1) 06-14-07

by DON QUILICI
Chuck and Linda Fields at the Topaz Lake Marina (775-266-3550): Not a lot going on, even with Free Fishing Days. I think it probably had to do with the Carson Valley Days celebration. Hardly anyone was fishing. The few fishermen that were here were catching some from shore at the south end, but nothing big (about 1 pound).

Truckee River Fish Report 06-14-07

by TRUCKEE RIVER OUTFITTERS
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! The Truckee is fishing as well as it has in years. With minimal run-off this spring, we finally have a year where the bugs are hatching in clear fishable water in early June. Green Drakes, Golden Stone flies, Caddis, and Little Yellow Stone flies are all hatching right now. Evenings are when most of the bugs are coming off. Between Truckee and

Flows are around 220 CFS. The East Carson is fishing really good and will only get better over the next month or so. Look for Grey Drakes and Caddis in the evenings. Nymphing with small bead head nymphs in the mornings has been effective as well.
