Nevada Fish Reports

Here is Mike Anderson with your On The Water Report Pyramid Lake. The lake is now at 59 degrees. Fish are coming in shallow and are sitting from 8-22 feet. Stripping has been the best method from shore, which has started to get better. The Truckee River is fishing well and the brown trout are all colored up and getting close to spawning. Smaller nymphs, crayfish, and

The striper bite has been a bit slow, with smaller 1-to-3-pound fish taking the bait first. However, we've seen some larger fish coming in this time of year. Local anglers Mike and Mitch Jones, the twins, were able to land a nice-sized striper weighing 10.22 pounds and measuring 32 and 1/2 inches in length. They were trolling in the Parkway Bridge area. There's also some good

Pretty warm and sunny last week, but this week looks like old fashioned Truckee Fall weather. The change will usually get them trouts feeding. Look for the streamer fishing to improve this week, the dry fly fishing and everything else. Flows are pretty good, about 400 cubes here in the Hirsch, and not much difference all the way down river. Flows are pretty good out on the Little

The last storm dropped the surface temps clearing out the bait balls to deeper water. Reports have been slow from shore, with boaters and float tubers having better luck. The lake is in a transition phase right now, shore fishing will improve once more winter storms roll in and water temps drop below 55°. Crossing our fingers for more bad weather!

Fly fishing at Pyramid Lake has improved following a seasonal turnover. With the cooler weather we received in early October, the surface of Pyramid Lake cooled off. This cold surface water sank to the bottom (being denser than warm water) and resulted in the upwelling of algae. This turnover has since settled and fishing conditions have improved drastically. With cooling water temperatures, shore anglers have had

Who would want to leave our lovely Willow Beach National Fish Hatchery for the scary unknown and wild Colorado River? These Rainbow Trout needed a prodding to get them off the stocking truck and into the river. Crew unloaded 1,060 Rainbows at the Willow Beach Marina, AZ, yesterday (Thursday). Now let the game of hide and seek commence!

The Truckee is in fantastic shape through both Nevada and California. Flows on the Truckee are stable and should remain so as we move into late October. Currently the Reno gauge shows flows hovering at 350 cfs.  Rainbow and brown trout are on the move. With cooling water temperatures, anglers are finding success in slower paced water. While some fish are moving into their autumn haunts,

The lake level has dropped a few feet over the last few weeks. The NDOW has planted 10K ponds of catchable trout over the last month. Fishing has been good for boaters using Rapalas or flashers and a crawler. I would also try a Roostertail or Panther Martin spinner about 100 ft behind the boat on monofilament. Now make sure you use a ball bearing

We have some exciting news this week! Our local angler, Zachary Meyer, took a trip to Lake Mohave on Cornman's boat, captained by Mark Osgood. They were trolling near the power lines, and Zachary was using a swim bait when he hooked a fantastic striper. This impressive fish weighed in at 7.32 pounds and measured 28 and 1/2 inches. Currently, there's a fishing tournament happening on

We're still dealing with an unfortunately persistent blue/green algae bloom in parts of the lake due to the on-going warm weather, but on the bright side, over the course of this last week, our friends at Nevada Department of Wildlife have stocked nearly 30,000 rainbow and brown trout for your future fishing enjoyment. #nevadastateparks #trout #fishing

Great Fall fishing on the Truckee River. Bummer, Niners lost, but at least the Eagles lost also.  Pretty good flows, nice warm weather. Little too warm for the streamer and dry fly fishing, but nymphing is off the hook, no pun intended. Looking like Indian Summer this week, so probably more of the same. Week after next looks like we will get in the 40’s. Enjoy

            On 8/29/2023 the Lahontan National Fish Hatchery Complex completed stocking 100,000 Pilot Peak strain Lahontan cutthroat trout into Lake Tahoe for the 2023 season. A total of 25% of the trout stocked this year were tagged with a T-bar anchor tag that has a unique ID and phone number on it. Anglers are encouraged to report their catch and help our biologists evaluate the success

Right from our stormy start up until now, we are methodically picking off excellent trout on the jig. Without going too into detail on exactly how we do it, just know we go big and ugly and it pays off. We have spent many years refining this early season technique to reach the LCT’s in the early season, and it’s one of those things you
