Stripers are active around dawn and dusk

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Stripers are active around dawn and dusk, providing anglers with lively action during the cooler hours of the day. Hard plastics in shad patterns are the lure of choice, often drawing strikes when thrown to a boil. While black bass fishing remains slow, persistent anglers have found some success around Las Vegas Bay using topwater poppers and Chatterbaits. For those targeting catfish and carp, Hemenway

Nice Brown at Sceirine Ranch

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by WALKER RIVER OUTFITTERS

Don't think all the fish on the East Walker died! This bad boy came up for a well presented dry fly on the Sceirine Ranch today. Remember, the fish kill only impacted the upper two miles of river. That leaves 30 plus miles of river that is healthy and full of trout.

The Truckee River continues to fish well as we slide into Fall

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River continues to fish well as we slide into Fall. The water dropped a bit this week as the Federal Water Master reduced flow coming out of Lake Tahoe. September is the month that river flows can bounce around a bit. This is largely due to upstream reservoir releases changing as a result of irrigation releases going down and flood control releases increasing.

EF Walker River Fly Fishing Report

East Walker River (NV)

by RENO FLY SHOP

The CA Fish and Wildlife responded with an investigation and a suggestion of not fishing on the CA section of the East Fork Walker River. In communication with NDOW there

The Truckee has been fishing great this week!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee has been fishing great this week with a good number of small fish still being caught and a handful of larger fish now in the mix. Crawdads and stoneflies are really going to be the best way to target the bigger fish right now, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to have that small mayfly nymph or midge larva below it to double your

Pretty good solid fishing on the Truckee!

by MATT KOLES

Summers up and gone on the Truckee River. A little cooler weather too. High's in the 70's this weekend, 60's by the end of next week. Pretty good solid fishing. Lots of dinks, with some nice fish showing up here and there. Typical Indian Summer time of year fishing. You can rack up some numbers of fish, and hopefully by the end of the day, you hooked

2.42 lb. Gizzard Shad

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

It's not quite a record, but it’s definitely a nice catch! Our local angler, Christian Duncan, landed a 2.42-pound, 20-inch gizzard shad in the Laughlin Bay area. Typically used as bait until they grow beyond bite size, gizzard shad are abundant in our waters. Fly fishing for these fish is becoming increasingly popular, with anglers often targeting them in specific areas. Chris, however, caught this

Early fall fishing conditions are starting to appear

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Water Conditions Due to the recent cooler weather, early fall fishing conditions are starting to appear and the fishing on the Truckee River has been improving. The lower temperatures from last week have led to the appearance of larger fish. With the flows being at a good rate this time of year, the trout should be widely spread throughout the entire river system. This week, the

The bite on the Truckee continues to get better and better

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The bite on the Truckee continues to get better and better every week. As temps begin to trend downwards, we are seeing the larger fish become a bit more present in recent weeks. The crawdad bite has proven to be good this august and dead drifting them is a great way to target bigger fish while presenting smaller bugs at the same time. You can

That's a wrap on Summer!

by MATT KOLES

That's a wrap on Summer. Indian summer now on the Truckee River. Nice brisk mornings, and hot afternoons. Flows are great for wading and getting around all up and down the river. This is the start of the second season, and in most anglers opinions, the best season to fly fish. I've mostly downsized my nymphs, and now's a good time to start streamer fishing. The fishing is good
