Fish Reports


It’s true, the lake is fishing well this week. Finally!

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
It’s true, the lake is fishing well this week. Finally! The dropping pressure, overcast skies, wind and precipitation have done a lot to make the fish more active. Not just in the morning either, the bite has been pretty good all day!   As we head into mid-February we have seen the midge be the most consistent bug for under the indicator, but we found a few

Waiting on the storm

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
With little precipitation as of today, we have not seen a significant change in flows on the river just yet. The water temps also haven’t changed either, surprisingly. Despite these facts, the river has slowed down over the week compared to the last month of fishing during the false spring. This will change even more drastically this week as we begin to see multiple days

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

This photo is from our annual “Fish with a First Responder” fishing clinic, held each September just before the Willow Beach National Fish Hatchery begins its trout stocking program. It’s a great example of how good the fishing can be after a trout plant. Our first responders did an outstanding job helping kids get hooked up. As soon as one young angler landed a fish, they

ICE SAFETY WARNING – Wild Horse Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Current ice conditions at Wild Horse Reservoir are not considered safe. We recommend staying off any remaining ice at this time. Ice continues to deteriorate with the warmer temps leaving many open edges, areas of open water, rotten ice, and soft edges that are not ideal for a safe outing.

The lake is fishing very well right now

by THE FLY SHOP
Fishing conditions:  Great Report: The lake is fishing very well right now. This weather has the fish cruising the shoreline dropoffs looking for whatever they can get their mouths around. If you are going, your Moo Midge or Balanced Leech could be what they eat. Basically, that is the gam right now, keep a dark Balanced Leech or Chrinomid Bomber under an indicator and in the water.

Fishing has been very good for casting the rocky areas for rainbows

by DOUG BUSEY
Fishing has been very good for casting the rocky areas for rainbows. Jigging has been good for decent mackinaws ranging 3 to 5 lbs. Best areas have been on the south west side of the lake from Camp Richardson to Emerald bay. Some anglers have also had good success on the north end of the lake.  Jason sent me a few pictures of his catches

Unfortunately, last night's storm did a number on the ice

by WILD HORSE STATE RECREATION AREA
Unfortunately, last night's storm did a number on the ice. There are now large swathes of open water, and remaining ice has thinned significantly. Even Hendricks and Penrod arms have open water. The forecast does call for slightly colder temperatures and another storm on Wednesday. We will update on ice conditions daily leading up to President's day weekend. Thank you and stay safe!

The sunny weather sure hasn't helped the fishing at Pyramid Lake lately

by RENO FLY SHOP
The sunny weather sure hasn't helped the fishing at Pyramid Lake lately. Forecasts are calling for a light storm system late into the weekend that should kick things into gear. Clouds can also help greatly this time of the year so we’ll see how weather plays out. Even on the sunny days fish are being caught in the low light periods.  The Holo Midge bite is

Fishing over the past week on the Truckee River has been good

by RENO FLY SHOP
Fishing over the past week on the Truckee River has been good with the warmer weather we’ve had. Highs in the 60’s feels a bit unusual for this time of year but fish have certainly responded well. The Blue Winged Olive hatch is going strong now, with some days better than others. Cloud cover is crucial for good dry fly fishing in the winter on

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY
This goes back a bit, but here are a couple of stripers I caught while fishing the river with Del Olden. I landed two fish, right around six and seven pounds. I was using a Bomber Long A lure. We just had a trout stocking at Rotary Park, so the next plant should be at Community Park. This is a great time for trout anglers to

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
While the fishing out here still remained a bit day to day this week, we’ve been hearing a lot more positive reports at the lake lately. The bite window is still mostly in the morning or mid-morning, slowing down in the afternoons most days, but we are seeing better numbers in both amount of fish as well as size.    Historically these next 3 months are some

The extended stable conditions on the Truckee over the last few weeks has made for good flows

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
            The extended stable conditions on the Truckee over the last few weeks has made for good flows, clear water and steadily rising water temps. The fishing has been really good and if you were one of the lucky few to think about fishing the river in January during this extended high-pressure system, kudos to you! This will change starting Sunday, the forecasted storm is supposed
