Pyramid is still fishing solid, with decent numbers of fish already cruising the shorelines

by THE FLY SHOP

Pyramid is still fishing solid, with decent numbers of fish already cruising the shorelines. Indicator nymphing with Balanced Leeches and midges has been especially successful, as has stripping Popcorn Beetles, Midnight Cowboys, or Pyramid Minnows. Numerous large fish have already been landed this year, and the fishing has been noticeably more consistent than at this time last season! Now’s the perfect time to head out

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

While the bite may have slowed a little bit this week with cold sunny days following a significant drop in lake temps, we have personally seen multiple 20 pound fish caught in the last week by fellow Pyramid junkies. When the lake gets glassy and the sun is high, the use of sinking lines and smaller flies such as boobies or beetles can be a great

The Truckee River has been benefiting from these warmer days this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee River has been benefiting from these warmer days this week and the fishing has improved considerably compared to last week, when temps were getting just above freezing most days. The one thing these sunny days haven’t helped with is the streamer bite though, which tends to be a bit tougher during days of high sun. But it’s still worth putting some time into

Ice is covering about 80 percent of Comins Lake. Ice thickness varies from 3 to 6.5 inches, with areas of exposed water

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Ice is covering ~ 80% of Comins Lake. Ice thickness varies from 3 to 6.5 inches, with areas of exposed water. All ice should be considered unsafe. The north lake has had open water as recently as 12/4/24 with anglers actively fishing from shore. If anglers attempt to fish from shore, a mix of spinners, nightcrawlers, PowerBait, and a fly behind a bubble should catch fish.

Illipah Reservoir is sitting at approximately 90 percent ice covered

Illipah Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Illipah Reservoir is sitting at approximately 90+% ice covered. The ice thickness varies from 2 inches to 5 inches. There are areas of poor ice quality in the middle of the reservoir and along the western shoreline. Anglers should use safety equipment (ice cleats, picks, etc.), especially during early ice season. Anglers fishing through the ice will do will jigging with nightcrawlers, PowerBait, and a variety of

Breaking a cold snap on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Still very cold at night, but warming up some in the afternoons. Will probably stay like this until we get some weather again, maybe mid-month. Good news, flows are really great for December. Typically the river is pretty low around now. 430 cfs, and over 500 out East is really good for us. What's that mean for fishing? Well, nymphing you'll always get some. Streamer fishing

Winter is starting to set in

Eagle Valley Reservoir

by SPRING VALLEY STATE PARK

Well it looks like old man winter is starting to set in! Currently most of the reservoir's shoreline is covered with a thin layer of ice. Fingers are crossed that it continues to build and we can have a great ice fishing season. #nvstateparks #vistlincolncountynv #ndow #icefishing

The reservoir is trying to freeze

Wild Horse Reservoir

by WILD HORSE STATE RECREATION AREA

Good morning everyone! We hope you had a safe and happy Thanksgiving! Just a bit of an update, the reservoir is trying to freeze. There is a layer of ice over most but not all of the reservoir due to the single digit temps over the past few nights. It will be above freezing over the next several days, so we will see what sticks

So far this season has been nothing short of fantastic

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

I know you’ve heard us say it over the last few weeks, but so far this season has been nothing short of fantastic. We are hearing “The best November ever” thrown around a bit and we have a hard time disagreeing. Most of the employees in the shop have been getting out on a weekly basis and have been consistently landing fish over 15 pounds

The Truckee River continues to fish well

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee River continues to fish well as most of the brown trout finish their spawn and look to recover lost calories. During the overcast days of last week, we saw a fair streamer bite for those willing to put in time. As well as some good dry fly-fishing east of Sparks. With the subfreezing temps in the mornings, the fishing will be best after

Ice is covering around 80 percent of Comins Lake

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Ice is covering ~ 80% of Comins Lake. Ice thickness varies from ½ to 2 inches, with areas of exposed water. All ice should be considered unsafe. There should be decent shoreline access off the dam and western shoreline. With colder temperatures forecasted, access could go away quickly. If anglers attempt to fish from shoreline, a mix of spinners, nightcrawlers, PowerBait, and a fly behind a

Big Stripers on The River This Week!

Colorado River - Riviera

by RUSTY

We have some exciting river fishing news this week! Local angler Bryan Werkmeister had an incredible day fishing from the shore in the Community Park area along the Colorado River. Using a trout-pattern swim bait, Bryan landed two trophy-sized stripers: one weighing 15.16 pounds and measuring 33.5 inches, and another at 18.32 pounds and 34.75 inches. This time of year, the larger fish are starting to

November Has Been Legendary

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

LAKE CONDITIONS November has certainly been a hallmark of fall. Cold mornings, reasonably mild days, and the chilly storm patterns of course. Wind patterns have definitely ticked up a bit, so we are experiencing some of that classic Pyramid behavior that we all have come to love. Best part is, that the fish have been very cooperative, and healthy sizes to boot. So, with that being
