Lake Mohave Striped Bass

by RUSTY
Here’s the latest Lake Mohave fishing update! Local anglers Raul and Jennifer Gonzalez were out trolling the lake and caught a nice batch of stripers, with the largest weighing in at 8.44 pounds. They traveled a bit to find the productive spots, landing these near the power lines upriver from the Princess Cove launch ramp. Reports indicate that the area near the dam on the Nevada

Angler Report: Pyramid Lake

by FISH REPORTS STAFF
Sam checked in with us from a recent trip to Pyramid Lake. Here is his report: "Made my first boat trip to Pyramid on Monday, the 14th. What a blast. Put in water at around 745 and had my first fish just after 8, a beautiful 13.5 pound cutthroat. We stayed out until 11 and we wound up with 6 fish.The last fish was caught by

Lots of nice fish being caught with both nymphs and streamers

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
The ranch is still fishing very well with much the same patterns as are working on the California side of the border. Lots of nice fish being caught with both nymphs and streamers down there. If you’d like to book some time on the water down there just give us a call.  

Finally Some Cold Weather for the Truckee!

by MATT KOLES
Finally some cold weather for the Truckee River.  Was a hot ass early fall. Now that we have some more typical fall weather, we can actually do some fall fishing. Meaning, you can target different types of water, and use different approaches.  It's below freezing at night, at least on the Ca side, so starting really early may not be best. Look for fish in softer water

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
Pyramid Lake has been dealing with a significant algae bloom over the last week or so, which has particularly effected the north end of the lake. This is a bit strange for this time of year, as this is usually a problem seen in lakes during the summer months, but given how warm this October has been, it makes sense. We hope with the colder

The Truckee is in prime shape in the canyon section of the river

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The Truckee is in prime shape in the canyon section of the river. The Glenshire area remains low but is still fishing well all things considered. With the first snow of the year in town, we expect the last remaining grasshoppers to be just about done for the year going forward. The use of dry droppers up here will now be limited to October Caddis,

7.36lb. Striper

by RUSTY
We have some Colorado River news this week! Local angler Mitch Jones was fishing from shore in the community park area and landed a nice-sized striper weighing 7.36 pounds and measuring 28 inches. He was using a swim bait in a trout pattern. This is good news, as lures are starting to produce larger stripers, which have mostly been caught using anchovies in the 1

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP
Pyramid Lake  The larger Lahontan Cutthroat Trout are still on the deeper side, though the surface temps are cooling nicely, and shore fishing is picking up. The prolonged warm summer into fall has created an algae bloom that covers a lot of the lake’s surface. These blooms are sometimes representative that the lake has flipped, but other times it is just a bloom. We are

Autumn is definitely here!

by RENO FLY SHOP
Truckee River Autumn is definitely here! Changing leaves and early morning brisk temperatures have taken hold. Brown trout are starting to clean off shallow gravel areas in preparation for their Fall spawn. We haven’t seen any active spawning just yet, but they are becoming more territorial and beginning to concentrate into groups. Streamers and crayfish patterns have been working well combined with small nymphs (#16-#20).

At Pyramid Lake, the action has been good for anglers trolling in 55 to 90 feet of water

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
At Pyramid Lake, the action has been good for anglers trolling in 55 to 90 feet of water. Anglers trolling are having success with U-20 flatfish, F-18 Rapalas, Mag Lip 3.5, Speedy Shiners, Coyote Spoons, or one-and-a-half-ounce Sierra Spoons. There still isn’t much of a shore bite to report at Pyramid Lake. Most of the smaller fish are found up in the northern parts of

With winter on its way soon, some of the brown trout are currently showing pre-spawn aggression

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
Water Conditions Anglers fishing on the Truckee River this week can expect similar flows and conditions as last week. Water temperatures have cooled down to around 58 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit, creating comfortable conditions for the fish to actively feed and fatten up before winter. With winter on its way soon, some of the brown trout are currently showing pre-spawn aggression in the Truckee River. Cooler

Season has begun and it's been great

Oct 1 “Opener” came and didn’t disappoint. When a 10 pounder only received a semi smile/shrug that tells you something. THE BIG BOYS AND GIRLS WERE EATING GOOD !!! This could of been the best opener in some years. We gave most of our guides at Pyramid Fly Co opening day off so they could pre fish for their busy weeks ahead. The PFC Team enjoyed
