Nevada Fish Reports

Looks a little more like Winter and less like Fall for the rest of the month on the Truckee River. Good, because that'll kick the streamer fishing into high gear.  That's mainly how I like to fish when the water gets cold. Going for big post-spawn brown trout. They like a big meal. Sure, anyone can peg an egg in the Winter and catch fish, trust

The Truckee has seen consistent flows here on the California side, with Glenshire Bridge sitting at 150 CFS, and Farad around 450. We have seen a slight change in flows on the Nevada side in both Mogul and Sparks, where flows have come up around 40 CFS. While we are not certain, we suspect this change is coming from less water going into diversions for

We’re in the heart of trout season, and what a great group of fish we have! Our Willow Beach Hatchery is supplying both local and visiting anglers with some fantastic rainbow trout. When the trout are first planted, anglers often need to experiment with their bait choices. Local angler Gerry Ward initially tried PowerBait without success. He then switched to his favorite trout jig, but still

Rainbow Trout, approximately 1150, were stocked at the Willow Beach Fishing Pier.

I had Miguel and Jen from Allentown Pennsylvania out yesterday on Lake Mohave. Miguel broke his PB Smallmouth.

No visual indicators have been observed in recent weeks; therefore, the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection has lifted the HAB (Harmful Algal Bloom) advisory on Eagle Valley Reservoir located within Spring Valley State Park.

Last week we saw a slight increase in flows along the Glenshire section of the Truckee as Donner Lake begins to get lowered for the winter. Donner Creek is currently adding another 50 CFS to this upper stretch of the river, increasing the flows to around 150 CFS at the Glenshire Bridge. At these flows, we should see fishing get a bit better with the

More people are heading to Pyramid and the season has been pretty good so far. We are looking forward to when the lake cools off and you can bring a ladder to fish the close drop offs. Fish are still deep, so you will need a water craft such as a pontoon, float tube, or Boston Whaler. Bring your full-sink line and a fish finder

The lake level has been going down about a foot a week, it is down 8 feet from this time last year. NDOW has recently planted the lake with 6400 lbs of trout. I would recommend trolling small flashers with a half a night crawler 12 inches behind the blades. Raplas have been very productive on the west and north end of the lake. Special

Water temperature is sitting in the high 40s.  Fishing for trout is still fair to good and should continue into the ice fishing season, with the fall trout stocking to occur in the coming weeks. Trout will continue to bite on worms, PowerBait or flashy spinners. Fly anglers can try streamer or leech patterns. Best fishing will be from a float tube, kayak or other

Our local angler, Alered Sarabia, was recently fishing at Lake Mohave, using anchovies in hopes of catching stripers. To his surprise, he landed a nice largemouth bass weighing 3.98 pounds and measuring 18 inches, along with a smallmouth bass at 2.10 pounds and 15 3/4 inches. Both fish were caught on anchovies near the dam on the Nevada side. I've been hearing that the shelves are

Wow, the weather has been pretty fantastic. We have had a few days here and there of heavy wind and a minor cold snap, but that is all completely normal for this time of year. The one thing that we did experience was a pretty gnarly lake turnover/algae bloom, again, normal for this time of year. It was a little heavier than average, but no

    Reno Fly Shop guide Mike Anderson, @mt_anderson, with your in the water report from Pyramid Lake 10/23/24. Shore fishing is picking up! Indicator fishing has been best with most fish caught from a depth of 10-12 feet. The retrieve bite has been slower, but that will change as the fish transition from deep to shallow water and once the full moon decreases more later this week. Flies
