by DOUG BUSEY

The fishing has been slow. But many anglers are getting limits with a full day of fishing. Trollers have been using flashers and a half a night crawler.

The Lake Has Been Fishing Well for Mid Winter

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS

The lake has been fishing really well for mid-Winter/January. The water temperatures are at their winter lows around 42-43 degrees. This usually means, low fish totals and the occasional cruiser with plenty of days when you wonder if there are any fish in the lake at all. Pyramid will always kick out big fish no matter the season with the Pilot Peak strain of Lahontan

Truckee is Fishing Well For January

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS

The Truckee is fishing really well for January. As usual, the Nevada side is easily the best. The flows are low due to the lack of storms and snowpack, but the river is in great shape. There is no anchor ice and access is great. You have to approach the river a little different than in the summer and fish are going to be in

Fishing on The Nevada Side Has Been Really Good Lately

East Walker River (NV)

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS

Fishing on the Nevada side of the East Walker has been really good lately. The warmer weather we have had has freed the river from any anchor ice and access is great. Fish are active and happy.

Calm Before The Storm

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

This week we have that ugly high pressure rearing it’s head again, and it’s got all of us wondering when we are gonna get another storm system.

But as we slide into next week the pattern changes and we have some wind, clouds and low pressure on the horizon. All

Pyramid Lake Guides Fishing Report

Decent River Fishing on The Truckee

by MATT KOLES

Decent Winter fishing on the Truckee River. Be nice to get some storms rolling through. Mild weather now, maybe next week, fingers crossed. When I say decent, I mean, we’re getting some fish. I do a lot of streamer fishing, winter -spring. If you seize your moment and strip set, you’ll have a good day. If you don’t, you’ll think the fishing sucks, though you missed the
