Cold Front Equals Bent Rods

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

The past few weeks have we have seen some downright ferocious monster cutthroat ripping line off reels in search of the middle of the lake. As these large trout roam the ledges looking for bait fish, they continue to pack on the pounds with a protein rich diet. What does this mean for the fish's energy levels? More strength and power than they know what

Currently at a minimum of approximately 6.5” of ice on Wild Horse Reservoir

Wild Horse Reservoir

by WILD HORSE STATE RECREATION AREA

After measuring for ice thinkness, we are currently at a minimum of approximately 6.5” of ice on Wild Horse reservoir when entering from the Wild Horse SRA boat ramp. With this thickness, it should be safe to begin ice fishing! As always, please exercise caution when out fishing on the ice. We do not recommend driving across or on it.

Wet and soggy and snowy on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Wet and soggy and snowy on the Truckee River. Some good rain and snow the last few days. More on the way? Yeah, looks like it might set up that way. Good, because we need it. Flows have dropped rather significantly out of Boca. From 285 cfs, to 80 cfs, last Thursday here in Hirschdale. They’re slowly climbing back up thanks to the rain yesterday here, but

Expecting a serious uptick in the fishing starting this weekend with the shift in weather

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid has seen some slow days over the last few weeks, but we expect a serious uptick in the fishing starting this weekend with the shift in weather. Fishing has seemed to be best along the southern beaches this week, but we are firm believers that there’s no clear pattern in this regard and if you’re not getting fish or just not feeling your pick,

Substantial drop in flows out of Boca Reservoir on Thursday

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

There was a substantial drop in flows out of Boca Reservoir on Thursday the 1st, which caused a decrease of 175 CFS below the confluence, and as of today the flows at Farad are around 185 CFS. Expect a few days of slow fishing as the fish look to adjust to this sudden change, and then it should be back to normal starting as early

East Fork Owyhee River Fishing Report

Owyhee River - East Fork

Last weekend the ice thickness was around four inches

Wild Horse Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Last weekend the ice thickness was around four inches, but there were spots that were thinner. Give it at least another week, and two weeks would be better, before heading onto the lake depending upon the weather. With the colder temperatures forecast for the upcoming week, it may be safe for ice fishing the weekend of December 10th. As a general rule, this lake doesn’t

No recent reports, but with the recent snows, expect 4WD conditions to get here. Water conditions here are generally similar to South Fork so there may be some open water for fishing.

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

I’m really excited to see some weather in the forecast. Fishing has been sporadic. Good one day, tough the next. The strings should bring us some consistency. Both techniques are working right now, but it’s not an all day bite on just one technique. I’ve found myself switching from retrieving flies to the indicator and doing well for a stretch, and then changing back when

Truckee River Has Been Fishing Well

by RENO FLY SHOP

The river has still been fishing well. We are seeing decent BWO hatches on overcast days starting around noon. Blue winged olive mayflies tend to hatch in greater numbers during low light conditions, so be on the lookout for overcast and calm days to really get into a good hatch. (Tip: Windy days can really diminish a hatch, but finding a good eddy or slow moving

For those planning to spend New Years at the lake, there is enough real estate for camping on the east side. Compared to
