Nevada Fish Reports

This is an exceptional time of year to find some of the best trout fishing on this river. In our opinion the months of October and November are only rivaled by prime months such as March or June in terms of the quality of fishing here on the Truckee. Fall provides some of the best fishing of the year, so long as we have the

Local angler Dale Scott was fishing from shore in the Rotary Park area using anchovies for bait when he landed a small striper and a nice-sized carp weighing 12.12 pounds and measuring 30 inches. We have plenty of carp in our area, and they'll bite on almost anything. Carp is one of the few fish in our area that can be taken by bow and

The heat may finally be leaving. A little cooler starting now. Maybe that'll get the fishing a little hotter on the Truckee River.  Been a hot September, and early October. That, and the with the lower flows, fishing hasn't been easy. Hopefully now we can jumpstart into some good fall fishing.  I've been all up and sown the river. Well, from Boca, down to out East into

The weather in North Western Nevada has been just spectacular. Really warm days coupled with cool nights has made near perfect conditions for the opening week. A bit of wind in the forecast, but that is to be expected from time to time. This time of year we are on board Watermaster’s, so exposure to the elements is at a maximum. Layer up lightly, hoodies

We have seen a slight decrease in flows in the canyon section of the Truckee this week with the Farad gauging station dropping from 475 CFS to 400 as of today due to flows tapering off out of both Prosser and Boca. This is not a very drastic decrease and shouldn’t change conditions much. It will allow anglers to be able to cross the river

We will begin draining Echo Canyon Reservoir next week, October 7, 2024, to facilitate necessary maintenance work on the gate valve of the dam. Despite the reservoir draining, Echo Canyon State Park will remain fully operational. Camping, hiking, and other outdoor recreation opportunities will not be impacted, and the park continues to welcome visitors throughout the duration of the project. The contract work is expected to begin

We’ve been taking care of business in a big way to start this season! These fish are being some gluttonous freaks and there’s plenty to go around! We have seen two incredible days of giant fish so far. We have openings available for October 10-11. Call us and join in on this epic season opener while you can!

We have some exciting news from Lake Mohave: the striper bite is doing well! Local anglers Mark Osgood (known as Corn Man) and Shelli had a successful outing, trolling an AC plug and a white bucktail jig to catch three stripers. The sizes of their catches were impressive: one weighed 7.7 pounds and measured 29¼ inches, another was 7.92 pounds and 28 3/8 inches, and

            (UPDATED) Toxic algae alert for several areas on Lake Mohave       In addition to Nelson's Landing and Placer Cove, toxic algae blooms have also been detected at Cottonwood Cove, Six Mile Cove, and out on the open water between Nevada Bay and Arizona Bay. The algae are producing dangerous toxins exceeding safe levels for public contact, as advised by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection.       What to Look

Mike shared his catch from Pyramid Lake: he was trolling the south end of the lake today and caught a 14-pound fish (calculated weight is 15 pounds). It hit on the downrigger at 60 feet using a Lyman in frog color.

Hot weather here on the Truckee River.  Somewhat cold at night and hot during the day, but a pretty early fall heat wave happening.  So, don't look for any dry fly fishing, ain't happening, streamer fishing, nada. Bright sun means you're nymphing-unless the weather the changes. Flows are still pretty average for fall. Good wading flows. Not too high or nothing.  The fishing is all right. Not the greatest,

Pyramid Lake's season runs from October 1st until June 30th. 2024 2025 season is looking good for boat trips expect a good October bite. Bait fish are in large numbers fish should have packed on the pounds over the summer

The campground and access to the boat launch are open. Only boats with a single electric motor are allowed on Whitehorse Lake. No gas-powered motors. The limit is 2 bass minimum size 13 inches, the limit is 4 channel catfish. Largemouth bass, black crappie, and bluegill are all active. Bait anglers were finding success over the weekend on small pieces of worms fished just off

The ranch has been fishing excellent this past week with reports coming in from anglers getting into 30+ fish per day. Some of the anglers down there are doing great with streamers and some with nymphs, it seems like one or the other works better on certain days so I would be prepared to fish whichever method they are liking the best for the day

The Truckee has been increasingly kicking out more quality fish daily. While we would love to see a bit more of the drizzly, overcast weather typical of this time of year, the fish are still very much on the chew and the 80-degree days expected all week will sure be nice for the fisher, while keeping the bite consistent. You can even still comfortably wet
