Fish Reports

The ranch is still fishing pretty well, with dry/dropper rigs also being the best way to go lately. As with the California side at some point in the next week or two it will likely be getting too warm to fish and we’ll let you know as soon as that’s the case.  

Rolling through July on the Truckee River. Good solid fishing. Flows have been steady at around 450 cfs here in the Hirsch, higher near stateline, and a bit lower though Reno. We’ve had a few hot days, but still not as bad as last summer with the smoke and heat. Water temps have really not been an issue anywhere on the Ca side yet this summer. Warm

With daytime temps in the 80’s and 90’s for over a week now, the dog days of summer are officially here, and trout fishing will be best reserved for the mornings when water temps are at their lowest. We have been seeing the temps on the Truckee River hitting 66 around noon and this is a good target time to be off the water by

I ventured down to Topaz Lake last week with fellow angler Tom Blotter. We were on the lake by 6:30am and off by 11:30 am. We trolled the east and the north west shores with Rapalas. We caught and released about 18 trout all in the 1.5 to 2.5 lb category.  For those that want to do some bass fishing. The smallmouth were hitting well

Willow Creek provides a great opportunity for anglers and the boat ramp is accessible. With the recent warming trend this is great place for anglers looking to get out and catch trout, bass and crappie this time of year. There is lots of bank access and also a fishing dock. Anglers should concentrate on the areas where there is structure early morning and late afternoon. Fishing

Today we stocked 2,000 fish at the Willow Beach Marina! That's over 900 pounds of fish waiting to be caught. Come down and enjoy your weekend fishing! #hatchthefun #recreationalfishing #fishingfun

Pretty good bite today boys.

Some largemouth bass news and from up on Lake Mohave. Our local angler Dayton Grant decided to try our lake fishing with some success. Dayton was using one of his favorite spinner baits to target the largemouth bass. This one was 18 and 3/4 inches weighed in at 2.78 pounds. The largemouth bass should be ready to feed as they have been taking care of

Went out hot few trolling the out some live bait down for fast action!! Way to go team Dew!!

Good solid fishing on the Truckee River Can’t believe, I’d say the weather’s actually been cool. High’s barely getting into the 70’s, and it’s almost mid-July.     Gonna get hot next week, but back to around average temps after mid-week. Cool and foggy here in Hirschdale in the mornings. Weathers been a big factor in the fishing this summer. Cooler weather keeps the water temps down

The reports we’ve received from the ranch have also been mixed with some anglers not doing well at all while others have done very well. One angler reported having a great day over the weekend, catching fish all day long on dries with some of the fish pushing the 20” mark. The same patterns that have been working on the Cali side seem to also

We have been fortunate to be experiencing a mild summer so far. Flows and water temperatures are perfect and the fish are biting! Flows have been averaging 350 CFS through the downtown gauge. There are a lot of bugs the trout have to choose from. With the cooler temperatures all the hatches seem to be a little late this year. The crayfish bite is heating
