25.84 lb. Striped Bass

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

This week, we have some exciting river news from the shores of the Colorado River, just below the Davis Dam. Local angler Bryan Werkmeister landed a couple of nice stripers while fishing from the shore in the Community Park area. He was using a swim bait and caught two stripers: one weighing 12.69 pounds and measuring 31.5 inches, and the other a trophy at 25.84

Rain and snow!

by MATT KOLES

Rain and snow! Yes, we need it. Every Winter is finger nail bitting on the Truckee River. Look for the river to come up, how much? Well, probably not as much as you think. It's 400 cfs right now in Hirschale and going up. She'll come up lots more, but next week the rain will turn to snow, so it should drop back down quick. Usually the best

Pyramid has kicked right back into gear

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid has kicked right back into gear over the last week or so, and the fishing remains great right now. The fish are really starting to transition on to some of the shallower beaches and beginning their pre-spawn feeding habits. When fishing shallow and gradual beaches, midges are often the bug of choice and fishing 6-8 feet is a good place to start, depending on the

The Bites Been Starting Off Slow

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

With the last week of cold weather, we’ve been seeing the bite start off pretty slow, even through mid-day, with the best fishing often being from around 1:00 until dark. As of now the water has been cold and clear and the smaller flies are going to be the ticket when these conditions are present. Over the last week we have been doing best on midges

It’s nice seeing ice anglers out and about enjoying some ice fishing this weekend!

Wild Horse Reservoir

by WILD HORSE STATE RECREATION AREA

It’s nice seeing ice anglers out and about enjoying some ice fishing this weekend! We are seeing nice sized trout and anywhere from 8-10” perch being pulled out of the reservoir! We will be getting snow tomorrow, so please prepare accordingly! The surface is still really slick, so cleats are recommended. Our gift shop now sells them in case you forget them or need more.

Ice Update!

South Fork Reservoir

by SOUTH FORK STATE REC. AREA

The warmer days haven't had too much of an impact on ice conditions yet. Several areas along the shoreline of both sides of the lake are averaging between 5"-7" of clear ice. Watch for changes in conditions as we get wet weather this weekend. Always double-check thickness and be alert for sudden changes. Pressure ridges abound. Be safe and have fun out there. #icefishing #icesafety Nevada State Parks

Ruby Lake has 8 inches of ice at the main boat ramp

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Ruby Lake has 8 inches of ice at the main boat ramp. The collection ditch is mostly frozen upstream of Bressman’s Cabin, with the lower portion still ice free. All areas of the Refuge are accessible. Harrison Pass is open, but requires four wheel drive due to packed and rutty ice conditions; however, any snow at higher elevations this weekend could change that road report. Special

Ice growth has been extremely slow to nearly nonexistent at South Fork

South Fork Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Ice growth has been extremely slow to nearly nonexistent at South Fork Reservoir this year. Earlier this week, after the cold front, State Park staff reported 4″-5″ of ice along the southwest shorelines. These conditions are expected to change very quickly, especially with the warmer daytime temps and rain forecasted this weekend. We do not recommend accessing the ice at this time.

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

I had to dig this one up from a recent Mohave Fishing Club picture. Our local anglers are mentored by Gary Regan from our local high school. Gary, along with various assistants, takes groups of local youth out fishing. They mostly target stripers using anchovies while fishing from shore, hitting different spots along the Colorado River with great success. This club is open to anyone who

26.88 lb. Nortern Pike

by FISH REPORTS STAFF

Tyler Doering was fishing on Comins Lake when he landed a massive pike measuring 44.5 inches and weighing 26.88 pounds, just shy of the record.

Cold weekend on the the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Cold weekend on the the Truckee River. Brrr. Better for football watching than fishing. Things look to warm up this week, and fingers crossed some rain and snow in the mix. We need to get that rain and snow. Keeps the fishing good through Summer, and will get it going now, Winter. We have the blue wing olives coming off now down on the lower Truckee River East

Ice Update

South Fork Reservoir

by SOUTH FORK STATE REC. AREA

Ice Update: Good news! Areas off of Coyote Cove and Jet Ski Beach on the southwest shoreline, as well as some of the coves on the east side are measuring 4-5 inches, and are considered sufficient for foot travel. Pay close attention as there are many pressure ridges around the lake, and ice thins the further you get from shore. Always do an assessment of current conditions

The lake continues to fish ok

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The lake continues to fish ok all things considered, and it seems like suspending two midges 6-8 feet under an indicator on some of the rockier beaches has been the best producer during these sunny days. In the early morning hours, fish are being caught on buggers and beetles on a full sink line, but by mid-morning when the sun hovers directly over the lake with

Plenty of good fishable river miles on the Truckee

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

With the flows around average for this time of year and the water cold and clear, the fish are very keyed in on the “LBS” or Little Black Stuff, right now. This term includes Blue Wing Olives and Midges around a size 18-22. Although it’s in the name, the flies certainly don’t have to be black. When we’re fishing midge larvae, we’ve been doing great on

The Big Fish Bite Continues

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

Sunny days are here and then sunny days are gone. If anyone has followed or researched fishing Pyramid Lake they knows that this time of year that wind + clouds at Pyramid Lake can make the fish party like it’s 1999. Butttt…….. Just like the conditions we had this week, with the days of bright skies, the fish still made indicators drop and abrupt stops

Ice Update!

South Fork Reservoir

by SOUTH FORK STATE REC. AREA

Ice Update! Currently we are averaging 5 inches around the boat dock! However, there still is portions of the reservoir with open water. So please check the ice if you choose to go out on it. Also a reminder that entrance fees do apply this time of year so stop by the self pay station when you arrive! #nvstateparks #vistlincolncountynv #pioche #icefishing

State Park staff is reporting 5″ of ice in holes sampled near the boat launch

Wild Horse Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

State Park staff is reporting 5″ of ice in holes sampled near the boat launch. Be advised, this is glare ice, and is extremely slippery. Anglers are reporting ice measuring up to 10″ in some of the coves of the Hendricks arm and Penrod arm. Ice thickness is variable across the reservoir and conditions can change daily. Always sample the ice for yourself and come

12.84 lb. Striper on the Colorado River

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

With all this wind and cold weather, how about some river fishing? This time of year, our water levels are low, with some fluctuations, but mostly low releases from the Davis Dam. Our local angler, Bryan Werkmeister, was fishing from the shore at the Community Park area. He was using a swim bait and landed a nice striper weighing 12.84 pounds and measuring 32 inches. However,

Small craft warnings have kept most anglers and boaters on shore

by RUSTY

On Lake Mohave, small craft warnings have kept most anglers and boaters on shore, waiting for a break in the weather. The waves can get quite high and could swamp a boat if you're not careful. As a reminder, it's always a good practice to let someone know your plans and expected return time before heading out on the water—this applies even on calm days.

Ice Update: South Fork is almost entirely frozen over

South Fork Reservoir

by SOUTH FORK STATE REC. AREA

Ice Update: South Fork is almost entirely frozen over, with a relatively thin "skin" of ice, measuring 1-2 inches at its thickest points. At this time, the lake is NOT considered safe for ice fishing. There also does not appear to be any spots along the shore currently for open water fishing access. With forecasted highs above freezing, but cold temps at night, we will monitor the
