Trout fishing has been good with the cold and wet weather patterns coming through. Try small, flashy lures like Panther Martins. Dark-colored streamers and leeches are producing catches for fly anglers. Zebra midges are also working well. Special Regulations: Artificial lures only, no wading.

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

We didn’t get any news back from the ranch this week but when we do we’ll pass it on.

Lots of action with nymphs and still a little action with streamers as well

East Walker River (NV)

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

Well, that’s a wrap. The regular season is now closed until April 26, 2025. The Nevada side of the EW is still open all year long and as of late has been fishing pretty well, there is lots of action with nymphs and still a little action with streamers as well. The Sceirine section, Rosachi section and the Elbow section are all open. The weather

It’s been an interesting year from shore already

by RENO FLY SHOP

It’s been an interesting year from shore already. We are catching fish in much shallower water than in previous years. Typically the LCT are down in 12-15 feet of water this time of year, but we have caught quite a few fish in 6-8 feet of water. The indicator bite has also been good this early season, which is also atypical. To round out the

Colder storms have really dropped the river temperature

by RENO FLY SHOP

The brown trout spawn seems to be winding down (at least in town) on the Truckee River. We have seen quite a few redds that no longer have fish on them. Interestingly, the streamer bite seems to have turned back on with larger browns becoming players again. Colder storms have really dropped the river temperature. Just recently the temp bottomed out at 41 degrees (Sparks Gage)

Large and smallmouth were located a bit deeper on points and bluff walls

by CHAD BURTON AND CHRIS BORDEN

Pyramid Lake remained at full pool, and water temperatures were near the mid-sixties. High winds made for challenging conditions early in the week. Luckily weather conditions improved. Large and smallmouth were located a bit deeper on points and bluff walls. Drop shot, Ned rigs, and grubs in Aaron’s Magic, Orange Crush, and Margarita Mutilator worked for bites. The deep diving crankbait bite should materialize soon.

Head Out ASAP for Pyramid Lake Trophy!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

We stand by what we said last week, November is the new March! If you’re after a Pyramid Lake trophy, then you should be heading out here ASAP! The number of large fish seen this already this year, let alone this week has been exceptional. Even better, the crowds that this lake has become known for have been relatively non-existent lately and give you some

The River Continues to Kick Out Great Fish!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The main river continues to kick out some great fishing this week as the browns begin to finish up spawn and the post spawn bite starts up. This is when fishing streamers will really pick up, especially with the mix of overcast days in the forecast and the fish beginning to transition into tail outs. As is typical for this river, especially this time of

Comins Lake Report

by FISH REPORTS STAFF

On Friday, I stopped by Comins Lake to check out the conditions. There were a few people out enjoying the day, fishing along the shoreline. Despite the chilly weather. Notably, ice had started to form on the north side of the lake, signaling the onset of colder temperatures, and signs of the upcoming winter season beginning to appear.

The striper bite along the Colorado River below Davis Dam is going strong

Colorado River - Riviera

by RUSTY

Our local angler, Dale Scott, landed a nice striper while fishing from shore in the Rotary Park area. He was using anchovies as bait, which have proven to be highly effective for catching stripers in this region. Besides anchovies, there are other great bait options such as shrimp, squid, mackerel, nightcrawlers, and shad. This doesn’t even include the wide variety of lures and swimbaits available

Topaz Lake Angler Report

by FISH REPORTS STAFF

Sam checked in with us from a trip to Topaz Lake: Made a trip to Topaz on November 8th and enjoyed success with beautiful, calm weather. We got six fish today on Rapalas (5 rainbow, 1 cutthroat or bow/cutt). Not too sure which, but definitely not a rainbow. Also got to view a pair of bald eagles in a west shore tree. Fun trip.

Good Winter Fishing!

by MATT KOLES

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 Been Consistent!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

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

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

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

The shore bite has fully kicked off at Pyramid

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The shore bite has fully kicked off at Pyramid and the action remains consistent throughout the day. The best windows for fishing being from sunup until 1:00 and then from 3:00 to dark. We are seeing some good numbers right now, with the average angler catching 3-6 fish a day, and good odds of finding a couple over 10 pounds. When fishing out here Wednesday,
