Nevada Fish Reports

Tahoe Trophy Trout had an exceptional day on Lake Tahoe, reeling in a total of 14 fish. What makes this day truly special is that they achieved the "Grand Slam," catching four different trout species: Mackinaw, Rainbow, Cutthroat, and Kokanee.

Its the night before opening day and we are sitting here like kids on Christmas waiting for one hour before sunrise when fishing season opens officially. Last year produced personal best cutthroat for me and my head guide Todd kellar. It seems the fish are just getting bigger every year and that dream I have had for the past 10 years of a 30lb cutthroat

This is it, the month most trout anglers wait for, October. October on the Truckee River is about as sweet as it can be. You get the cooler weather, the colors, and of course, trouts fattening up for Winter. Probably have a dusting of snow on the high peaks to look at too after this weekend. We’ll have some blue wing olive days, streamers days, and just

The ranch is also still fishing very well with lots of nice fish being caught down there, the same patterns that are working on the Cali side will also be working on the Nevada side. We’ve been booking out a ways in advance for the ranch so if you want to get out there try to give us a call ahead of time.  

The weather thus far has been just awesome leading into the opening week of Pyramid Lake. Mid to upper 70’s with nights in 40’s, easy winds, and abundant sunshine. In true Pyramid Lake fashion however, opening day is looking to be on the tail end of a possible small rain event and cold front, with highs in the upper 50’s….then of course returning right away

The lake level has been going down and the Douglas County camp staff has been trying to keep up with raising and lowering the docks at the bait ramp. The NDOW planted the lake this week with 5000 lbs of catchable rainbow trout. Shore anglers have been using powerbait or inflated nightcrawlers. Trollers have had best action with small flashers and a half of a

As the weather cools down, the striper bite remains excellent. Local angler James Kirkpatrick had a successful fishing outing from the shore near Second Street, using anchovies to catch some sizable stripers - perfect for delicious fish tacos. Up at Lake Mohave, reports suggest that striper fishing is thriving, especially in the coves near the powerlines and trolling in the basin area. There hasn't been

Good morning from Willow Beach! This week staff stocked around 1,000 rainbow trout at the fishing pier. Come down and enjoy your weekend fishing!

Great early Fall fishing on the Truckee River. Little cooler weather now and it’s definitely Fall in the mountains. Truckee River trout are pretty active. Remember though, Truckee River trout are still, well, Truckee River trout, and that means you still have to work for them. We have great flows for this time of year. Nice and big below the inflow of the Little Truckee River at

The ranch is also fishing well, most of the same patterns that are working on the California side will also fish well on the ranch, you can also throw in some stonefly nymphs and rubber legs to round out your box. With the lower flows we’re starting to get more bookings several weeks out so if you want to plan some time on the ranch

Anglers, Residents and Visitors Urged to Help Prevent Further Spread  The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) was informed by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) that divers monitoring for aquatic invasive species in Lake Tahoe detected invasive New Zealand mudsnails (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) in areas off the South Shore of Lake Tahoe. New Zealand mudsnail samples were subsequently positively identified by experts within CDFW and an

Conditions remain very stable on the main river. Over the last week we have seen consistent thunderstorms in the afternoon, and these are expected to stop by the weekend. The stormy afternoons have put a bit of color in the water, but this has been short lived, and visibility has been clearing by the next day. This little charge of water has made the bigger

Yesterday morning our staff stocked around 1,000 rainbow trout at the fishing pier at Willow Beach! Happy Fishing #hatchthefun #rainbowtrout #RecreationalFishing

Fly fishing on the Truckee River has been consistent through the middle of September. Air temperatures have continued to cool off resulting in more favorable conditions for trout. Water temperatures have dropped in accordance and are currently topping out at around 64 degrees at the Sparks gauge.  Fishing has consisted of a mix of nymphing, streamer, and dry fly tactics. As usual for the Truckee, nymph

Water Conditions With fall here, the water temperatures have really come down giving the area some great fishing conditions. Despite having a lot of afternoon thunderstorms lately, the clarity on the Truckee River has remained clear. Fish have been much more active with the cooler temperatures and high clarity. The best flows on the Truckee River are still from Glenshire area to Stateline. Flows on the

We have some Lake Mohave news. The smaller stripers can be found in the coves near and around the power lines and near the Davis Dam. Anchovies and crankbaits have been effective in catching these plentiful stripers. They are on the smaller side, but there's no limit under 20 inches on the lake. Below the Davis Dam, the limit for stripers is 10 with no
