Walleye fishing continues to be good

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Walleye fishing continues to be good with most walleye ranging 17-23”. Night crawlers under a bobber or carp cut bait from shore.  Boats have been trolling rapalas or worm harnesses in close to shore. Its been an excellent year at Chimney, one for the record books.

Great reports back from the first 2 weeks of the season

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Great reports back from the first 2 weeks of the season. Healthy trout averaging 17 inches with a few 20 plus showing up already.  NDOW crews were recently up at Knott Creek Reservoir checking access, water levels, and working on a fish survey. The reservoir is accessible from both the north and south roads. The south road going up Cove Creek is in better shape

The opener at Onion was excellent

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Just as anticipated, the opener at Onion was excellent. Fish averaged 13 inches but several people found some carryovers to 19 inches.  The road from the west side is open to access Onion Valley Reservoir. Recent rains have created gullies and ruts in some areas, so be careful when navigating these areas. Most wet flies, spinners, and bait work well at onion. The hardest part

Things are firing off on the Truckee River

We have some exciting news from the Marsh area! Our local anglers had a great time fishing with their grandpa on his boat. They used shrimp as bait and targeted catfish.

Still a bit big, but really not all that bad. She’s getting

Truckee River Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The Truckee has been holding similar flows this week when compared to last week, although when inspected closely you will see that there is certainly a downward trend happing as far as what is coming off the hillside. The regularity in flows is partially from the federal ‘Water Master’ moving dam releases up and down out of each reservoir, and those pesky thunderstorms that we

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
