Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

We have finally seen Pyramid slow down after 2+ months of some of the best fishing we have seen out here. While this is probably from multiple factors, the big ones would likely be due to the time of year and the lack of weather. Is there still a chance of having an epic day of catching out here this week? Absolutely, but odds are

We are seeing great conditions on the river right now

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

We are seeing great conditions on the river right now, with ideal flows along most sections, water temps in the low 40’s to upper 30’s and active fish. Here in town, we are continuing to see good shots at dry fly fishing around Glenshire Drive using baetis and midges mid-day, as well as good nymphing when hatches aren’t present. The canyon section of the Truckee will have

The reservoir has a combination of open water and poor ice

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Ice is unsafe on both the north and south lakes. The reservoir has a combination of open water and poor ice. There is limited shoreline access. If anglers attempt to fish the open water from shore, a mix of spinners, nightcrawlers, PowerBait, and a fly behind a bubble should catch fish. Trout from 8 inches to 18 inches are being caught.

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY

With the current winds, fishing has been a bit slow. Our visiting anglers were recently out trolling on Lake Mohave. Steve Berczik and Les Kern managed to land a nice 7.46-pound striper measuring 27.5 inches. They were fishing on the Nevada side, just past the power lines. Reports from the Basin area indicate that trolling with an umbrella rig has been productive, while near the dam

First report of 2025 on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

First report of 2025 on the Truckee River. Been doing this blog since about 2007? I don't know where all the years have gone. The Truckee River is in great shape, mid-Winter. Pretty much snow free all up and down the river. We've had a lot of warm storms, as it's only been snowing high, not river level. Same old same, nymph 'em, streamer fish 'em on

Topaz Lake Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY

This was the first time in 30 years, I could not attend the New Years celebration. I did talk with a couple anglers that enjoyed the day. They told me the water level was down about 10 feet from last year. Which is nice because it gave them some real estate on the east side to camp on. They caught 7 nice rainbows all about

Pyramid has continued to fish well!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid has continued to fish well, mostly on days with any weather. The sunny, windless days expected this week may very well make the bite tough, but there are still ways to get some eats during this time. Often when the sun is high and the lake is glass, we look for beaches with greater drop offs and set our flies deep, to the tune of

Truckee River Fishing Report & Forecast

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The flows on the Truckee have stabilized after last week’s rain and are currently sitting at 200 CFS around Glenshire, and 400 CFS at Farad. We would consider these flows ideal, being slightly above average for this time of year. Along the upper river, we are finding good fishing using light nymph setups, with 2 smaller flies, a bit of split shot and a 1/2” to

Fishing Report December 2024

The lake has spit out some of the biggest fish we have seen since the restocking of the Pilot Peak Strain was re-introduced in 2006. Lots of fish in the 20 pound class have found a net the last couple months. We are not sure why the fishing is so much better now than the last couple years at the same time but we don’t

Lots of rain and snow for the Truckee!

by MATT KOLES

Lots of rain and snow for the Truckee River. Warm storms, so not any snow down here in Hirschdale, all rain, and the river is free from snow just about everywhere. Flows have come up, but will drop back down in a few days. Winter fishing should be very good. When the waters a bit milky, streamers, worms, and that shit should be your choice. The weathers
