Sceirine Ranch Fishing Report

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
The only report I’ve had back from the ranch lately was that it was pretty slow on nymphs for a while at first in the morning but then when this angler switched to streamers he did very well, several fish in the 20+ inch range, mostly browns. He was very happy he made the switch to streamers as he ended up having a very good

Pyramid continues to fish very well in what most consider to be one of the slower months of the season for the lake

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
Pyramid continues to fish very well in what most consider to be one of the slower months of the season for the lake. The series of stormy days last week have kept the bite good most days and along most beaches. Looking forward, the clear and cold days ahead may prove to slow things down in the short term. We happened to go out on one

Truckee River Fihing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
This storm has done very little to change the conditions on the river, both here on the California side as well as the Nevada side. The flows came up just a tad along most of the Truckee, but we have already seen this begin to taper off. As predicted in last week’s report the water temps came up a few degrees, but likely will drop again

The fall of 2024 has been the best we’ve ever seen

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
After another epic week out here, we are going to call it.. The fall of 2024 has been the best we’ve ever seen. If there’s anyone who is reading this that has yet to experience this lake or just hasn’t made it out yet this year, all we can say is; you’re missing out. While in some ways fishing out here is pretty straight forward, it’s

The Truckee River fished great this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The Truckee River fished great this week during the sunny days and warmer air temps. For nymph fishing, the name of the game has been going small on your dropper fly, down to a size 18-20 in most cases. With the storm rolling in, expect the fish to switch gears on their preferences, especially when the water begins to gain some color. Stoneflies, worms, eggs and

South Fork Ice Update

by SOUTH FORK STATE REC. AREA
South Fork Ice Update: Warmer than average conditions have caused a recession in ice. Most areas of the shore now have open water, with ice in some of the coves and a few large pieces floating in the lake. In other words...Safe for Eagles...NOT Safe for People. We will provide updates should we get a significant cold spell and begin seeing ice building back up. For now, enjoy

Dam reconstruction is complete and NDOW is impounding water

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Dam reconstruction is complete and NDOW is impounding water. Please note that shoreline access at Cave Lake is opened to the public, however recreational opportunities are limited. For more information on Cave Lake, please contact the NDOW Ely Field Office. As the water level rises, the public should not attempt to access the ice on the lake.

The water has recovered nicely and there should be decent shoreline fishing along most of the reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The water levels were recently lowered to repair the low-level outlet in November. The water has recovered nicely and there should be decent shoreline fishing along most of the reservoir.   Approximately 30% of the reservoir is covered with a thin sheet of ice and should be considered unsafe for angling.  The reservoir was not stocked this fall due to the draw down. Normal stocking efforts

Ice thickness varies from 0 inches to 8.5 inches

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Ice is covering ~ 95% of Comins Lake. Ice thickness varies from 0 inches to 8.5 inches.  Anglers should use safety equipment (ice cleats, picks, etc.) during early ice season. Anglers should use caution on the ice with the warm days forecasted through the holiday week. The north lake has a combination of open water and poor ice. This area was not checked for ice

Illipah Reservoir is approximately 85 percent ice covered

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Illipah Reservoir is approximately 85% ice covered. There is enough open water along the western shoreline that should provide anglers the opportunity to fish.  All ice should be considered unsafe and will likely remain unsafe until we get another cold snap.  A total of 9,012 rainbow trout averaging 9.3 inches were stocked this fall.

Topaz Lake: Angler Report

by FISH REPORTS STAFF
Sam checked in with a new report from Topaz Lake. He was fishing on Friday the 13th and got out in the morning before the wind picked up. It was a nice day, with 7 fish landed, the largest weighing 3.4 pounds. He trolled Rapalas in hot steel and black/ gold colors, which were producing well. Eagles were also spotted in the area.

Ice conditions are fluctuating daily

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Reservoir is beginning to ice up and the boat ramp has been pulled. Snow has fallen and more is forecasted within the next week, but warm afternoon temps are keeping the reservoir from completely icing up. Ice conditions are fluctuating daily, and all ice should be considered unsafe at this time.

Finally getting some snow in Tahoe

by MATT KOLES
Finally getting some snow in Tahoe It's stacked up for mid-December. Not much down here in Hirschdale, but we usually don't get too much anyways.  Flows are still great on the Truckee River, and the Winter fly fishing is good. Good all up and down the river. If you fish the Ca side, remember, lows will be very cold at night. You should wait till it warms

The fish have been taking a wide variety of flies and presentations

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The lake has yet to really slow down and this week we are seeing days on par with the most epic November we’ve seen. This fishery will certainly be one to benefit from a storm pushing through, and the low pressure system will likely get these fish on the chew. The one factor to keep an eye on will be the full moon this weekend. During

The Truckee has fished very well this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The Truckee has fished very well this week, with quite a few days where we lost count of the fish caught and landed multiple fish in the 20” range. The key to the river this time of year is fishing during the warmer days of the week as well as the warmest points of the day. Focus on slower moving water where seams and bubble lines

The reservoir is around 50 percent ice covered

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The reservoir is ~50% ice covered. The east side of the reservoir toward the dam has the most ice coverage, but is measuring barely 1 inch. These conditions are NOT safe for ice fishing. The southwest shores are all open water. Shoreline anglers are having luck reeling in brown trout and rainbow trout, with brown trout catch rates having gone up significantly since the fall

The lake level has been going up a foot or so each week due to the runoff from the Walker River

by DOUG BUSEY
The lake level has been going up a foot oor so each week due to the runoff from the Walker River. But compared to last year at this time, the level is down about 8 to 10 feet.  Fishing has been doing well for trollers using flashers  and a crawler or a small spoon. I talked with a couple anglers that caught some nice rainbows
