Truckee River- Hirschdale

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Cooler nights this past week have helped the Truckee River cool down slightly. The morning bite until 10am is still the best time to fish and the most ethical for catch and release fishing. Fishing in the afternoons is still not recommended as the trout mortality goes up in water that is warmer than 64 degrees. If you plan to fish the afternoons, please check

The last week of fishing on the Truckee has been excellent

Truckee River

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The last week of fishing on the Truckee has been excellent as water temps continue to hover around the high 50’s in the canyon. The upper river along Glenshire Drive is a little skinny at 167 CFS which will make this area warm quicker due to greater sunlight penetration, so because of this we recommend fishing below the Boca confluence to the Nevada state line

The bass bite is good

Jakes Creek Reservoir (Boies Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The water level is very low as water is being drawn out for irrigation and the usual evaporation for this time of year. Surface water temperatures are in the high 70’s and the weeds are making shore fishing difficult. The bass bite is good for eight to 12-inch bass using soft plastic dark colored grubs and spinnerbaits. Trout fishing is slow to fair and worms

Lamoille Creek

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The recent rains in eastern Nevada have provided a surge in stream flows and Lamoille Creek has been fishable for the past week and got another surge Thursday night with the rainstorm that moved through. Expect flows to diminish over the next week with a drier pattern moving in. Care should be taken when driving up the canyon as there has been some mud and

Ruby Lake NWR

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Little or no change here. The water level is low in the south marsh with levels that haven’t been this low since 2016. Weed growth is thick, but boats with electric motors can still get around the main channels as gas motors are helping to chop up some of the more popular paths through the marsh. With surface water temperatures in the mid 70’s the

Expect a fair amount of algae and dropping water levels due to irrigation

Wilson Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

No recent report from Wilson, but expect similar conditions as at South Fork Reservoir. Expect a fair amount of algae and dropping water levels due to irrigation. The best trout fishing should be from a float tube or a small cartop boat or canoe as the boat ramp is out of the water and unusable. Shore anglers should have some luck in the canyon by

Anglers report fair to good fishing for both rainbow and tiger trout on small black or olive crystal or wooly buggers as well as black leeches. Chironomids, pheasant tail nymphs, gold ribbed hare’s ears and soft hackles under an indicator or dry fly should also work. Dry flies are also productive. Popular patterns include parachute Adams, black gnats, yellow stimulators and grasshoppers. Spin fishermen should

Damsel nymphs are a better bet fished along the weed beds

South Fork Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Very little change here as surface water temperatures are in the high 70’s and fishing for bass has been good while trout fishing has been slow as they move to deeper water. The south end of the lake is very weedy and there is a lot of algae. Fishing has been fair for 15-to 20-inch trout for spin, bait and fly rodders from boats or

Comins Lake

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Surface water temperatures are in the high 70’s and fishing is slow to fair for trout and fair to good for bass. With the warmer temperatures, anglers should be fishing deeper for trout. Nightcrawlers have been working for trout though anglers have also been doing well using PowerBait.

Illipah Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The lake level is low due to irrigation and surface water temperatures are above 70 degrees and fishing has been slow to fair for trout. The best fishing is first thing in the morning. Afternoons are poor. For bait anglers nightcrawlers and rainbow PowerBait are the best bet. Small spinners, spoons and Kastmasters in gold for those throwing hardware should work but allow plenty of

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

The ranch is in much the same shape as the Cali side of the river, though parts of it have some shade from the willows and some extra water that comes in from several springs that cool it down a few degrees it’s still probably time to let those fish rest for a while. We’ll start booking more days on the ranch some time after
