Winter fly fishing on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES
Cold kinda all up and down the river. At least this week. Waiting for El Niño to kick in. Big warm storms and a big river, love the stuff. Right now she’s cold. Look for slow walking pace water, 2-5 feet deep. You’ll always get a feeding window sometime during the day, no matter how cold it is. No ice or anything like that, and in

Pyramid Lake Fly Fishing Report & Forecast

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The fishing at Pyramid Lake is beginning to settle in to a familiar rhythm. The bite will be steady one day and a grind the next. We’ve been finding most of our fish on olive or black balanced leeches between 8 – 12 feet deep. These are fish that come up from deep water to cruise the shallower shelves and forage before they return down

Presentation and fly selection matter more this time of the year

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
There are still fish holding all along Glenshire, and quality fishing opportunities to be had all the way down through the lower river, and past Reno. Egg patterns and small bugs such as midges and BWO are the primary forage for now. Streamer fishing mid-day has been slower, but if you only plan to spend just a couple hours fishing in the afternoon then it

The lake level has fluctuated a bit within a foot up and down

by DOUG BUSEY
The lake level has fluctuated a bit within a foot up and down. The Douglas County ramp and day use is open all year for anglers and us diehard winter campers and fishers. The NDOW recently planted 7000 catchable rainbow trout. Shore fishing has been good on the Nevada side of the lake. I have not fished or heard of any anglers on the CA

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY
This week has been a bit slow due to low water levels, wind, and the holiday week. There isn't much to report, but I've heard of a few stripers being caught in the Rotary Park area in the evening. They've mostly been on the smaller side. To break the monotony, I managed to reel in a nice panfish and a largemouth bass in the Laughlin

The shore bite at Pyramid remains surprisingly consistent for Mid-November

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The shore bite at Pyramid remains surprisingly consistent for Mid-November, as the fish are found in close and at depths of 8-12 feet throughout the day. The early-to-mid-morning bite has been the most reliable. The catch rate seems to slow most days from around 1:00pm to 3:00pm, and bite will generally pick up again from the late afternoon into the evening. The fish appear to

The Truckee has seen very little changes in conditions once again this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The Truckee has seen very little changes in conditions once again this week and both flows and water temps remain consistent at the Farad USGS gauge. As the days get shorter, so does the window for good fishing, and fishing mid-day through early evening will be your best bet from now until spring. Early this month, we’ve seen an increase in flows along Glenshire as

Shore fishing at the lake has really picked up

by RENO FLY SHOP
Shore fishing at the lake has really picked up. Most days stripping flies has been the most productive but the indicator bite has been on and balanced leeches and baitfish under the indicator can put fish in the net. The surface water temp should continue to drop with the changing season. This should disperse the baitfish near surface and push them deeper. It is possible to

The Truckee is in fantastic shape through both Nevada and California

by RENO FLY SHOP
The Truckee is in fantastic shape through both Nevada and California. It seems flows have fully stabilized on the NV side following irrigation diversions and we now have settled into flow profiles that will remain until winter storms begin. As mentioned abve the brown trout are in full spawn mode. Please give them a wide berth. In a couple weeks the browns should finish their spawn
