Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

Pyramid Lake

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

Truckee River

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

Balmy weather on the Truckee River

Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Things are a changing though. Storms are in the forecast for this week. We need ’em. If you’ve seen Boca, and Stampede, or the upper river, you’d understood why. I’m hoping we get a good AR type storm. Where is snows on top and rains down here. The higher the river gets, the better. If you like to streamer fish, that’s what you’re looking for. Low

Should See Some Great Days Ahead with This Weeks Storm

Pyramid Lake

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The lake has seen some slower days as of late and it’s easy to assume this is because of the lack of weather. With a storm coming in this week that should change, and we should see some great days ahead. The name of the game has been indicator fishing using leeches, and color can vary day to day (or even hour to hour) but

Some sections are just holding more fish than others right now

Truckee River

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

We’ve been seeing some spotty days on the Truckee lately, and it seems that some sections are just holding more fish than others right now. With a few slow days around Verdi, but some great days further up the canyon around Farad and Floriston as well as east of Sparks, getting out and exploring different water may not always produce results but it will always

Pyramid Lake is fishing really good

Pyramid Lake

by PYRAMID LAKE FLY FISHING

Pyramid Lake is fishing really good. There are a lot of fish being caught and also some really big ones. November-February are historically the best big fish months. This season is telling the same story. The water conditions are fantastic, and the lake levels are great. This time of year, it is less important to get an early start and a lot more important to

We hit -6 last night

South Fork Reservoir

by SOUTH FORK STATE REC. AREA

BRRRRR.....Let's face it, it's down-right cold. We hit -6 last night, and saw ice skins form over about 50% of the reservoir. There is some pretty solid ice around the boat ramp, and the extended forecast calls for continued lows in the single-digits to low teens. We expect to be closing the ramp for the season in the coming days, as it appears the ice is
