The lake is being drained and anglers should avoid this lake

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
For safety reasons and to expedite the rebuilding of the dam, the lake is being drained and anglers should avoid this lake. Water being drained will be diverted to Comins Lake and if conditions allow, NDOW will be performing a fish salvage moving the fish from Cave and taking them to Comins Lake. Shorelines will be very soft and dangerous due to the complete saturation

Trout fishing should be fair

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
No recent report but trout fishing should be fair to good here as at other reservoirs.  The same flies, lures and techniques that work at South Fork should work here.

Surface water temperatures are in the low to mid 40’s

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Surface water temperatures are in the low to mid 40’s depending upon time of day and cloud cover.  Fishing has been slow for bass but good for 14 to 17-inch trout.   Anglers will catch trout on nightcrawlers, spinners, nymphs and wooly buggers. Chironomid patterns under an indicator are effective here this time of year.  Bass fishing is slow.  Minnow imitations and large streamer patterns

Fishing has been good

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Surface water temperatures are in the low to mid 40’s here as well and fishing has been good. Best flies right now are leech or wooly bugger patterns.  Fly rodders will also do well on bead head pheasant tails, wooly buggers, chironomids and parachute Adams.  Spinners, PowerBait, and nightcrawlers will do well for the spin casting crowd.

Pyramid Lake Report Late November 2021- Sooie! Call in them Pigs!

by BEARFISH ALLIANCE STAFF
That’s what you gotta do these days at the ‘Mid….the pigs are hard to find, but when you do come across them it is worth it. Definitely a lot of good quality fish roaming the waters, but it will require a significant amount of diligence and patience to get one to the net. This isn’t completely abnormal for this time of year, and we should

Keep the stoke high

by PYRAMID FLY CO.
Keep the stoke high, your bugs wet and don’t miss your grabs. It’s still quality over quantity. The light switch is soon to flip!

Pyramid Lake Beach Map

by RENO FLY SHOP
We are excited to launch an interactive Pyramid Lake Beach Map on our website. This map is intended to help the new and experienced angler with information that is up-to-date on each of the named beaches out at Pyramid Lake. We had a ton of fun putting it together and had each of you in mind. We hope you spend time moving around the map and all of

Southern beaches are producing decent fish from shore

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
Southern beaches from blockhouse to popcorn are producing decent fish for the shore anglers fly fishing and spin fishing. Look for a low pressure weather change in the next couple of weeks to break up the schools of bait and move more fish into the shallow waters. Anglers should try using strike indicators with a balanced leech or stripping flies with black wooly buggers. Look

There is still a small streamer bite here, just use smaller flies

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
The Upper Truckee River is flowing around 50 CFS near Tahoe City. Anglers will notice small blue-winged olives hatching in the Truckee River system throughout the day. Anglers fishing the upper river should concentrate their efforts in the deeper pools. Towards Glenshire, there is some dry fly fishing from 10am to 2pm, but mostly indicator nymphing with worms, small bwo nymphs, and midge patterns such

November came in like a lion on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES
November came in like a lion on the Truckee River, with big high flows, after basically a trickle. Now we’re settling back into late fall, early winter flows. Cold nights, and mild days. Continued warmth on the forecast, fingers crossed we get more snow before the end of the month. It’s looking like the end of this 21 day dry cycle might bring another AR type

Thin ice is starting to form along the shoreline in the mornings

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
With recent trout plants, anglers are having better-than-average success in the mornings. Rooster Tails, olive nymphs, and Woolly Buggers are generally productive. Thin ice is starting to form along the shoreline in the mornings. As the ice thaws throughout the day, the edges remain muddy.

Shore fishing for rainbow trout has kept anglers busy

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The striper bite is slow along the river, but shore fishing for rainbow trout has kept anglers busy. Trout jigs in greens and yellows are landing fish as large as 2 pounds. Spinners, night crawlers, and glitter PowerBait are also working well.

Katherine Landing is a hotspot for large striped bass

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Willow Beach anglers are finding good action for rainbow trout. Try a combination of PowerBait and night crawlers or your favorite spinner. Katherine Landing is a hotspot for large striped bass. Anglers are experimenting with topwater lures, Rat-L-Traps, and swimbaits in shad patterns. Black bass are attacking soft plastics on Ned rigs in green pumpkin and watermelon red.

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The Nevada Department of Wildlife stocked rainbow trout at Cold Creek, Floyd Lamb, Sunset, and Veterans’ Memorial Park ponds. Anglers have had success using rainbow PowerBait and night crawler pieces. The stocked rainbows are averaging about 8 inches in length. Anglers out on warm afternoons are catching bluegill and catfish at Floyd Lamb and Sunset parks using sliced hot dogs and night crawlers.

Striper boils are hit and miss in the Boulder Basin

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Striper boils are hit and miss in the Boulder Basin and should keep tapering off. Live shad is the bait of choice, but a variety of shad-patterned lures are landing fish, too. Black bass anglers are having luck with topwater lures and soft plastics fished on dropshots in the Callville Bay area. Catfish in the 12-inch range and larger are taking anchovies and stink baits
