Nevada Fish Reports


Anglers have been heading out to the Overton Arm to chase crappie and black bass

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Anglers have been heading out to the Overton Arm to chase crappie and black bass and finding success. Smallmouth and largemouth bass are getting ready for the spawn throughout the Boulder Basin. Casting Rat-L-Traps and jigs into shallows has proven successful for some fishermen. Stripers are actively chasing swimbaits and anchovies in Government Wash.

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY
Yep its me again with a couple of fish. The reason for this picture is its been so cold and windy rain and such no one is going out to land a few of our local fish. The population should be growing as its just to rough to get out there. I wish i had more to report I know this will soon change as

Fly Fishing at Pyramid Lake has been fantastic through the first part of March

by RENO FLY SHOP
Fly Fishing at Pyramid Lake has been fantastic through the first part of March. Lahontan Cutthroat Trout are preparing for the spawn and feeding aggressively in the pre-spawn bite window. The fish are moving shallower with each passing day and will soon be cruising shoal lines up along the bank. As fish move into shallower water, it is crucial to adjust your approach to present

The Truckee River has fished well between the storms over the past few weeks

by RENO FLY SHOP
The Truckee River has fished well between the storms over the past few weeks. The recent warm/wet storms have surged the water levels. Just before the water levels spiked the Blue Winged Olives (BWO’s) had finally made an appearance on the Truckee River and fish are taking notice on days without much wind. Baetis Cripples and Parachute Adams have taken fish off the surface. Prior

March has started off with a bang!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
March has started off with a bang, as we’ve seen great number days this week with some large fish in the mix. This is THE month to be out here, so if you’ve been putting it off, now is when you want to clear some days in your schedule to spend here. Just this week I’ve found multiple fish in the 10 pound class and

The river will certainly become unfishable in the coming day

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
We are seeing skyrocketing flow charts this morning and the river will certainly become unfishable in the coming days. This sucks for fishing this week, but is great for the overall health of the fishery, cleaning the river bottom of silt and debris, and hopefully creating better spawning habitat for the rainbows just a few weeks before they begin their spawn. I suppose unfishable is

18 lb. Striped Bass

by RUSTY
Now that our weather is turning for the better I must say we have some river news. Our local angler Bryan Werkmeister and side kick Damien Howard (who helped get the smaller one in) was able to land a couple of nice size stripers. He was fishing from shore just above Rainbow Drive using an ac plug. The larger fish was 18.70 pounds at 35

The advertised peak of the season is here!

by PYRAMID LAKE FLY FISHING
The advertised peak of the season is here! We have already had an amazing start to the spring with a lot of really fishy days due to the never ending chain of storms. This spring should continue to be really good into at least early May from shore. The water temperatures are still at their winter lows and the forecast is for some colder weather

As predicted, this first week of March has been great

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
As predicted, this first week of March has been great, and this is quickly shaping up to be THE month to be out here. Where and when you fish this lake should determine your presentation and what bugs you use. With fish being found in a variety of water types and depths, this is the time of year where you can pick your preferred method

The big storm last week raised the flows and lowered the temps on the river

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The big storm last week raised the flows and lowered the temps on the river, but how does this affect the fishing? Well, not as much as you’d think. The fish still have to eat, and the bugs still have to hatch. We even saw a few dry fly eats this week as the midges really seemed to kick into gear along the entire river,

Pyramid Lake has been fishing well this month

by DOUG RODRICKS
Pyramid Lake has been fishing well this month. Most of the fish are being caught in 5 to 10 feet of water. A combination of stripping steamers and indicator fish has been the most productive. Smaller midges fished under the indicator in the #16-18 range have been the best.

Wow, pretty insane snow totals here for the the Tahoe area and the Truckee Rive

by MATT KOLES
Wow, pretty insane snow totals here for the the Tahoe area and the Truckee River. I really haven’t done any fishing. It’s been cold, like really cold, and I’ve been dealing with snow removal. Hard to keep up with it all sometimes.  One of the bigger dumps we’ve had here in Hirschdale. We’re at about 5.500 feet and we easily got 4 feet in 2 days.

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY

Pyramid Lake Conditions

by PYRAMID FLY CO.
Ever watch that television series “Life Below Zero”? That’s exactly what it has been looking and feeling like out at Pyramid Lake. Maybe not quite below zero, but monstrous storms have churned up the lake from every direction and have the fish in a frenzy. We have seen it all; gale force winds, downdrafts, blowing snow, rain, big waves, and single track snowy roads on
