Ice Update

by SOUTH FORK STATE REC. AREA
ICE UPDATE!...along with a sunrise and some wildlife, too, of course. The lake is completely frozen, with an average of 7" of ice along the southwest shore. Ice thins significantly from the middle of the lake, heading toward the dam, and ACCESS IS NOT ADVISED in that area. The warmer weather this coming week may cause some variability in ice conditions, so please use extreme caution! Also: I think

Merry Fishmas to You All

by DOUG BUSEY
Hello fellow anglers, and a very Merry Fishmas to you all. In just over a week 2022 will end and hopefully the new year will bring us good health and well being.

Defiantly worth braving a little cold this morning

Defiantly worth braving a little cold this morning Thanks guys, good trip. Hope to see you again

The lake continues to improve as surface temps drop

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The lake continues to improve as surface temps drop, and fish remain higher in the water column later in the day and they can also be often be found just 20-30 feet off the shoreline where any significant drop off is located. When fish are found in shallow like this, fishing an indicator will work best as it keeps your flies in the potential cruising

Truckee River Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
With low flows and limited access here in town, anglers looking to fish the Truckee are encouraged to head downstream in search of the slight increase in flows around Farad. The city of Reno continues to take water out of the river around Mogul, decreasing flows back below 100, and it doesn’t gain more volume until east of Sparks around Lockwood or Mustang Ranch. In our

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP
The storms that passed through our region throughout the first two weeks of December improved fishing at Pyramid Lake. On many days, a combination of rain, snow and wind moved into the area and improved the bite along the shoreline.

Major snow for the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES
2-3 feet here in Hirschdale, and we’re only about 5,500 feet. Big snows up top. Man, we needed that. Flows bumped up a bit too. 80 closed, no power. When it snows in Tahoe, it’s no joke. Cold though. Been a cold start to our winter. Coldest in 30 years. Single digits this week, and high’s just in the low 30’s. Reno ain’t much warmer. The good
