Jakes Creek Reservoir is ~90% ice covered, but conditions are NOT suitable for ice fishing.

With projected weather conditions and temperatures, it is expected that these ice conditions will continue to degrade.

Interesting weather and fishing on the Truckee RIver

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Pretty good storm cycle last week, and looks like it should continue starting this weekend for about another week. We’re stacking the snow up on top, so that’s really good news. Relatively warm for mid-February here in Hirschdale. We got less than a foot of snow on the ground and access is pretty easy all over. Flows are nice in California, and great out East on the

Lake Mohave

by RUSTY

We had a successful outing on Lake Mohave with our local anglers fishing off Cornman's (Mark Osgood's) boat. They landed a nice catch of stripers while trolling near the coves around the power lines using swim baits. Our anglers Mike Bagtio, Brenda Meyer, along with Cornman, landed a 14.6-pound striper measuring 31 and 1/4 inches, a 9.96-pounder, a 9.21-pounder, and a smaller one at 7.52

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

Pyramid Lake

by CHAD BURTON AND CHRIS BORDEN

Pyramid Lake rose to 87 percent of its capacity, and only a few anglers braved the heavy rains and high winds last week. We have reposted our report from 2/2/24 “Trout were the best bet at Pyramid with anglers doing well in the marina. Get Bent Baits Minijigs, Mousetails, dough baits, and spoons all worked for bites. Trout continue to show throughout the lake with

The bite at Pyramid remains a bit spotty this week

Pyramid Lake

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The bite at Pyramid remains a bit spotty this week. If you land on the right beach with good conditions, you can have some incredible days, if not.. well, it’s going to be a grind. At the end of the day, it’s damn near impossible to know the when and where’s out here and there’s always going to be a good amount of guess work. If

The river saw about a 50 CFS decrease in flows this week

Truckee River

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The river saw about a 50 CFS decrease in flows this week, as the week-long storm has slowed down melt from the smaller creeks. Despite the weather, the water temps only came down a few degrees, the water clarity is still good, and the river remains fishing much the same as the previous weeks. We would recommend focusing on indicator fishing during this time, fishing

The indicator bite has still been catching fish

Pyramid Lake

by RENO FLY SHOP

Colder storms have moved into our area for what feels like the first time this year. Colder temperatures have slowed fishing down a little bit, but the fish will acclimate quickly. We’ve been catching a lot of numbers recently with a few larger fish scattered in. Fish are getting into shallow water. A lot of the fish that we have been catching have been in

Truckee River

by RENO FLY SHOP

Early February on the Truckee River started out with some spectacular dry fly fishing. From now until mid-March, the Truckee River can have some solid hatches of Blue Winged Olive (BWO) mayflies. Additionally, midge hatches have occurred earlier in the day around 10am-12pm. For the Blue Winged Olive, carry a few patterns to present different life stages of the insect. The Baetis Cripple is a

27.28 lb. Striped Bass

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

Here's a remarkable catch by our local angler, Ray Macmillan, from the shore of our community park. Using a paddle tail swim bait in a trout pattern, he landed a magnificent beast weighing in at 27.28 pounds and measuring 41 and 1/2 inches—a truly impressive trophy fish. The community park area is also excellent for stripers, especially near the casinos where anglers have had some

South Fork Reservoir Report

South Fork Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

As of 02/01/24 South Fork has around 80% open water. Shoreline anglers are having luck fishing on the southwest side of the lake, catching rainbow trout in the 15″-18” range, with a few brown trout in the mix. A worm 5′ under a bobber is the go-to for spin anglers, while fly anglers continue to have success with leech patterns.

Doubles and Triples Galore

Pyramid Lake

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

January is always a mixed bag when it comes to Pyramid Lake. Traditionally, it can be a frigid month with the catching action matching the weather; cold and unforgiving. This January didn’t disappoint, and even though we had a handful of slow days, they were easily justified by the days where the lake gave up the trout. The tail end of January provided some fantastic days.

Pyramid Lake

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

We expect to see this storm cycle will really help to turn the bite on at Pyramid this week. We are seeing low barometric pressure, overcast skies, just a touch of wind every day, and a good moon phase. These factors that we look at when we forecast the fishing out here help us make predictions on the fishing along with other things like water

This week’s abnormally warm weather made for some excellent fishing on the Truckee

Truckee River

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

This week’s abnormally warm weather made for some excellent fishing on the Truckee. We are lucky to still have great flows thanks to last year’s big winter, and the river has been in excellent shape. We have been getting a fair amount of phone calls about water clarity on the Truckee over the last week or two, and we think a big part of this

The lake level is high

Topaz Lake

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake level is high. The Douglas County park is open for camping. The boat ramp is open, but I would advise deeper boats on the east side and smaller on the west. The middle ramp was submerged last week. Fishing was slow for the first hour or so. I had to do some traveling to find the fish. The west side was most productive
