by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

We haven’t had anyone on the ranch lately but it should be fishing well with mostly the same patterns as on the Rosachi section. If the weather is halfway decent it’s a good time of year to get out there!

Pyramid continues to fish fair this week

Pyramid Lake

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid continues to fish fair this week, with not a lot of high number days, but some excellent fish being put in the net for the persistent angler. We have still done best when fishing under an indicator. However, we have seen some quality fish caught on the strip this week, including a 20-pounder caught by Trout Creek Outfitters shop-hand and guide, Finn Loper. The

Truckee River

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The river came up about 300 CFS along various sections of the river during the peak of last week’s rain, and has since begun to taper off. This didn’t make the river “blown out” but rather put a nice bit of color in the water and stirred things up a bit. This will make the larger bugs like worms, eggs and stones increasingly effective over

No-Ice Update

South Fork Reservoir

by SOUTH FORK STATE REC. AREA

**No-Ice Update** Seeking relationship experts to help convince winter to commit to something longer-term than it's been willing to lately. We're still sitting on mostly open water around our shoreline, with some ice floating in the middle of the lake, and along our shallow areas. Shore fishing has been good, and some folks are still launching small crafts from the Jet Ski Beach launch. It's been too foggy

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

More river updates on our striper bite along the shores of the Colorado River below the Davis Dam. At this time of year, it's all about shore fishing due to the low water releases from the dam. Nevertheless, our anglers are experiencing great success with their favorite lures. One notable catch was by local angler Ray Macillan, who landed a substantial 14.26-pound striper while lure

by SOUTH FORK STATE REC. AREA

**Ice Update** **Ramp Closure** The Boat Ramp is officially closed for the season. Water temps have cooled enough that nighttime lows are producing a skin of ice over most of the lake, with varied amounts of open water around the shoreline depending on which way the wind is blowing and the ice is shifting. Here's to hoping for some colder temps down the pipeline so we can

It is Pyramid Lake season, and it is fully underway!

Pyramid Lake

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

There is plenty of cloud cover in the forecast for next week at Pyramid. Cloud cover is generally a good thing. It can often lead to fish feeding in shallow water or closer to the surface. With what’s in the forecast for next week, any day could be a great one. But, if there’s one thing we know about Pyramid Lake, it’s that the bite

Truckee River

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

If you’re looking for the aforementioned challenge and inspiration, the Truckee River is full of it right now. Fishing the river has been challenging lately, but always rewarding. The cold weather has fully settled in, and the snow is sticking to the mountains and ridgelines above the river. The banks are still largely snow free throughout most of the canyon, but the air temperature is

Fly fishing in the first half of December has been rewarding for those willing to put in their time. While bites have been somewhat scarce, the size and quality of Lahontan Cutthroat has been outstanding. This is the time of year where it is seemingly harder to catch a smaller fish than a big fish (but catching any fish can be difficult). Lahontan Cutthroat have already
