Las Vegas Urban Ponds

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

With water temperatures climbing, trout action has been limited. Seasonal trout plants are done for the time being but should resume when cooler temperatures return in the fall. Bluegill and catfish action, on the other hand, should improve as the fish become more active. Night crawlers and mealworms are the bait of choice for bluegill while green plastics and poppers will entice bass. The limit

Late March Pyramid Lake Report

by BEARFISH ALLIANCE STAFF

Lot's of great fish being caught, that is for sure. Seems like we had a run on where every outing we would get into fish in the 14-20# class. Not seeing a lot of high numbers right now in quantity of fish being caught, but if you soak that bobber long enough you are bound to get rewarded....don't miss those dunks. Strip game is decent

Good Spring fly fishing on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Spring’s always pretty good. Not a lot of numbers, but good fish when you hook ’em. We are experiencing some run-off. Flows have come up to almost 700 cubes here in the Hirsch. Pretty good vis though. This is the time to get the big dogs, trust me. Fish the edges first. Best thing to do is -go in with the streamer first. Nymph later. Trouts can’t

Pyramid saw an off week of fishing with warm days and little to no wind

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid saw an off week of fishing with warm days and little to no wind. In another few weeks as the fish get closer to their annual spawn, we should see the weather become less of a factor on the fishing but as of now the stormy, overcast days continue to be your best bet. With that said, this small storm expected on Sunday and

With the flows on the river in an upward trend, conditions are changing on a daily basis

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

As the days get longer and we begin to see temperatures stay above freezing, we have seen the river begin to swell with the early stages of spring runoff this week. The small storm expected early next week will only slightly delay this and around the middle of the week we will be right back to warmer weather which should continue this trend What does this

The cutthroat are getting shallow and are bringing a lot of their pre-spawn behavior

by RENO FLY SHOP

The cutthroat are getting shallow and are bringing a lot of their pre-spawn behavior. The fish are still biting when there is some wind and weather. Both the retrieve and indicator fishing has been working with indicator taking a slight advantage when there is little to no weather. With that being said, a lot of our indicator bites are shallower than 6 feet and no

Rainbow trout have begun their spawn

by RENO FLY SHOP

Skwala stoneflies have made themselves seen this week. This is a little later than usual but we’re happy to see them as are the trout. Larger flies like this are easier for trout to detect in dirty water, making the inflow of runoff a happy coincidence. Otherwise, nymphing has still been best, dirty water can be good for streamer fishing and fishing a worm or

Owyhee River - East Fork
