by DOUG BUSEY

Mackinaw fishing has picked up, with action throughout the morning in 50 to 100 feet of water. Anglers have been trolling flashers and a live minnow on the northwest side of the lake.

The fishing has picked up when you can get out

by DOUG BUSEY

The fishing has picked up when you can get out. The day before my last report, I think NDOW read it because they planted almost 4,000 rainbow trout. Now there is a boat inspector at the ramp before you enter. There was no charge for the inspection. Here also, NDOW is concerned about our waters—make sure you say hello to him for me. Most anglers

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

We’re getting into some nice fish here along the Colorado River. One of our local anglers was out fishing from his boat using his favorite lure and landed a trophy-sized striper. The fish weighed in at 16.08 pounds and measured 33½ inches in length. He was fishing in the Upper Big Bend area when he hooked into it. Smaller stripers are hitting on anchovies and seem

Crazy April weather on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Crazy April weather on the Truckee River. More snow this month than we had in March. Go figure. Flows are still big below Boca. Pouring a lot of water out of Boca. Big flows through Hirschdale and into Nevada. I like the big flows. Tough for the normal wade angler though. Hard to find the spots fish can get out of current. Remember, just look for

Jakes Creek Reservoir (Boies Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Water temps in the low 50’s. Fishing should be good for carryover trout. Rainbow trout averaging 9″ were stocked 3/25/26. PowerBait and inflated worms fished off the bottom will attract trout. Fly anglers should try woolly buggers, leeches and midges. Fish in the shallows and near the edges of muddy water. Bass fishing will still be slow due to cool water temperatures.

With the fish mostly spawning right now, the bite has been a bit tough again this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

With the fish mostly spawning right now, the bite has been a bit tough again this week despite the shift in weather. At this point in the season a good way to find more consistent fishing would be to get out on a boat or float tube and use a slip indicator with midges or leeches, or a fast-sinking line with a larger streamer. For

The rain/snow mix in town has caused a surge in flows along the whole river

by TROUT CREEK FLIES STAFF

The rain/snow mix in town has caused a surge in flows along the whole river, but flows are already dropping and we’d estimate by early in the week we should see things stabilize and the clarity should improve along with it. The river didn’t run “chocolate milk” from this storm and one of the best things about the Truckee is it is very quick to
