Nevada Fish Reports

One of our visiting anglers, John Vitacco, was able to land a nice-sized striper while fishing from the shore at Community Park. John was using anchovies to bring in this striper that weighed 14.66 pounds and measured 33 and 1/2 inches in length. A great catch! Just a reminder, we often get large fish here, so make sure to set your drag and tie good

The past few days out on the lake, we have been catching some large lakers weighing up to 16 pounds. We've also landed some nice Rainbows, with the largest weighing around 6 pounds. Additionally, we've had a few brown trout in the mix. For those looking to get in on the action, Tahoe Trophy Trout offers guided fishing trips with experienced Captain Rob. With years of

She’s big and bad, the Truckee River. Can you catch fish in this water? Absolutely. Flows have been somewhat stable this week. Between 3,300 cfs-3,600 cfs, here in Hirschdale. Pretty big flows, and a little off color. Not chocolate milk. Down river, she’s much bigger and dirty. It’s gonna be hard to find fishable water from say, Floriston down in through Reno. It can be done,

Yup. It’s May. Crowds have dwindled, the temps are up, and the fishing is still great. Most anglers tend to cut bait and leave Pyramid Lake in the rear view mirror this time of year due to trout openers all over the Sierras and Western United States. The massive winter we encountered this season has put the baffle to this theory, and anglers for whatever

The lake held at over 90 percent of capacity and water conditions are finally looking normal. Bass anglers reported good fishing with some days boarding on excellent. Soft plastics have been the best bet with Senko style baits, Ned rigs, and shaky heads working in 5 to 25 feet of water. Large and smallmouth also chased small swimbaits and crankbaits. Striper anglers trolled umbrella rigs

The lake level has started to rise over the last week but is about 12 feet lower than last year at this time. The Douglas County Park is open for RV and tent campers in the improved camp area. As the lake rises, the real estate on the east shore is getting a little smaller each day for shore camping on the far end, but

We have been experiencing trout action along the shores of the Colorado River below the Davis Dam. Local angler Joe Sotomeyor successfully landed his limit of rainbow trout while fishing from shore using power bait in the community park area. Although mostly stripers have been the primary target for our anglers, we have received reports of anglers catching stripers in the 1 to 4 pound

Good news for eastern NV anglers! Thanks to abundant snowfall this winter, the Zunino/Jiggs Reservoir is filling up and fishable after a couple of dry years. NDOW recently stocked the reservoir with rainbow trout averaging 13 inches. The Fisheries Division will continue to monitor the reservoir and additional stockings will follow as conditions permit.

If you're looking for some exciting fishing action, then Tahoe is the place to be right now. This weekends trip produced some impressive catches, including three double-digit trophy trout caught back to back! The first catch was a 16-pounder, followed by a 10-pounder, and then finished off with an impressive 18-pounder - all caught within just 30 minutes. In total, they landed eight fish, three of

Here she goes. Up and up and up, the Truckee River. This will be our run-off now. 2,300 cfs as a write this. It’s stopped freezing at night, so now we’ll get our melt going. Honestly, this is when it gets good. I’m more excited than the kayakers. Now, you’ll probably come up here and scratch your head when you see the water. However; if you look for some

Unfortunately you can’t get to the Sceirine right now due to the road closure, we’ll keep you posted when we hear anything about the road re-opening.
