Pyramid Lake has seen a reboot in fishing success this week

by RENO FLY SHOP

Pyramid Lake has seen a reboot in fishing success this week. The post spawn bite has started and will conclude the big push of the annual spring spawn. Big LCT are hungry after not feeding the last few weeks and are eager to chase flies. Streamer fishing has been most productive at a growing number of beaches. Using flies like Jan’s Tui Chub or bigger

Following the spring storm this past week, the Truckee boasted some great fishing throughout multiple sections

by RENO FLY SHOP

Following the spring storm this past week, the Truckee boasted some great fishing throughout multiple sections. We saw warmer days following the storm which resulted in increased feeding activity. Here in Reno, flows have hovered between 800-950cfs. While flows are higher than they’ve been in the past few months, the spring flows we are experiencing now are still very fishable and yielding impressive results. If

Late April Fish Report- Pyramid Lake

by BEARFISH ALLIANCE STAFF

Holy Smokes, we had a run of what seemed like endless weather events in northern Nevada that made the fishing tough at the Mid for a while, but nevertheless when that window of opportunity opened it would turn on for the anglers. The fish are on the tail end of the spawn, so look to shift your techniques accordingly. Right now we are having good luck

Striper and bass have been biting more frequently throughout the lake

by PYRAMID LAKE STAFF

Striper and bass have been biting more frequently throughout the lake on various baits both from the shoreline and from boats. Soft plastics like smaller paddle tail baits on lead heads have been working well for stripers along with kastmasters and jerk baits. Sardines, anchovies, and lugworms have also been working well to come across the stripers throughout the day down deep, anywhere up to

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The Ranch is fishing very much like the rest of the Nevada side, just not as much pressure of course. We’ve had both really good reports and some not so good reports come in from down there.

Jakes Creek Reservoir (Boies Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Very little change from past couple of weeks as the lake is nearly full and anglers are catching trout. The surface water temperatures are still in the mid 40’s due to the precipitation and colder air temperatures.

Wild Horse Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Not much has changed since last week as fishing for trout continues to be good for trout but slow for perch after the perch die-off.
