Good Striper Action on Lake Mohave

by RUSTY

Welcome back, everyone, after a wonderful holiday! We've got some exciting lake news to share. Our local angler, Mark "Corn Man" Osgood, had a successful trolling session near the power lines on Lake Mohave.

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

The ranch has fished well this past week with some good numbers of fish being caught as well as a few nice browns pushing 20 inches. There’s plenty of availability on the water so if you’d like to make reservations just give us a call.

End of the Year, but the Season Is Just Turning On!

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

It has been an interesting start to the 2023/24 season at Pyramid Lake, and that is meant in a positive connotation in case you’re wondering. Lower water temps started the season off in October and essentially shifted the balance of fish behavior to reflect that of being much later in the season. Hence, here we are at the end of December and this still holds

Midge fishing under the indicator has been the most productive way to target the LCT

by RENO FLY SHOP

El Niño years are on average mild and wet. This means that we should get the nice storms that make the fish happy and hungry without the cold days that can send even the most hardened Pyramid angler running back to the retreat of a warm truck cab. Here’s hoping for just that scenario. This time of year the water is still cooling, this downward trend

Conditions on the Truckee River have also benefited from the mild weather so far

by RENO FLY SHOP

Conditions on the Truckee River have also benefited from the mild weather so far. Water temps have risen above 40F through town and even a few degrees higher downstream. These few degrees have really woken up the fish. All tactics have worked nymphs, beads, streamers and even some dry flies have worked on cloudier days. It seems that fish have moved into slower water but are

The water level is high and clear

by DOUG BUSEY

The water level is high and clear. The Douglas County park is open for camping and boat launching. All three ramps have been adjusted to be utilized. With the lake level so high, the dry camping on the east side is not available past the main cove. I fished this week with Reed Mitchell from Gardnerville, NV. We started about 8:30 and fished until the

East Carson River (NV)

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

Hello! It's me, reminiscing about a memorable catch of rainbow trout from a couple of seasons ago. As the holidays and the New Year approach, I thought it would be a good time to provide an update on our trout plants. In the past, the limit for trout was ten fish, but due to both the caddis fly issue, the current bag limit is 5. We
