Nevada Fish Reports


With better water clarity, the California side of the Truckee River has fished best

by RENO FLY SHOP
The Truckee River has dropped in flow significantly since the beginning of June! The reno gauge has decreased from over 3,200 cfs in early June to around a daily peak of 2,000 cfs now in mid June.   Those who have fished the Truckee River over the last few weeks have been rewarded greatly for their effort. As discussed in earlier reports, tactics and techniques must change

Great fishing here along our shores of the Colorado River

by RUSTY
This is some great fishing here along our shores of the Colorado River. We have rainbow trout and a striper along our shores and a catfish from up on Lake Mohave this week. The rainbow trout and striper were landed in the community park area. Our local angler Logan Tyler was fishing from shore using power bait for the trout and anchovies for the striper.

Flows have been dropping on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES
Flows have been dropping on the Truckee River. Big and steady at around 1,700 cfs, here in Hirschdale. Down from 4,000 cfs just a few weeks ago. Have we seen the big run-off? I guess. Never did get as big as ’18. I’m surprised Rivers cleared up pretty good around here, little dirty down below, but not bad. Still getting calls about the river being high. Yeah, it’s

Truckee River Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The downward trajectory seen on the USGS flow charts are great to see after this extended runoff season this year. However, expect higher than average flows all the way through fall this year, due to the possibility of large releases out of the several lakes that feed the river. Larger than average release will be a good thing for our fisheries. Water flowing in from

June is Prime Time at Pyramid!

by BEARFISH ALLIANCE STAFF
June is probably the most overlooked month at Pyramid Lake. In late April and early May we see the crowds pretty much disappear, and in our heads it is hard to figure out why. Especially this season as we are having a huge inflow from the Truckee River, so water level is up and the temps are just great.  As of this writing we are seeing
