Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY

Look where we live! We are blessed to have such great fishing opportunities here along the shores of the Colorado River. Our local parks are well maintained by the city staff and the shore line at both Community Park and Rotary Park produce some great catches of both trout and a few of the stripped bass that our anglers like to target. This time of

Best Action Has Been in The Evening Hours

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Shore anglers are having poor success with striped bass in the shallower water. Boaters are locating striped bass at depths ranging from 50 to 100 feet. The best action is taking place in the evening hours. Swimbaits in shad patterns are producing catches throughout the Boulder Basin. Black bass are biting along the eastern shorelines and at Temple Bar. Soft plastics and swimbaits are preferred

Pilots Are Pushing Into The Shallows More Frequently

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

Good Bye 2020 and Good Bye Full Moon As we slide into a new year the only thing that is on my mind is pre spawn Pilots pushing into the shallows more frequently. Last week we had freezing temperatures and a big moon that made for some semi-inconsistent fishing. The mornings the fish were on the chew a bit heavier than the afternoon with the moon

Fishing This Week Has Been On and Off

by RENO FLY SHOP

Fishing this week has been on and off. I believe this is due to a waxing to full moon and also fast moving storms that have pushed through our area. Fortunately, we have a few storms lined up in the new year, and this consistently should really increase the bite out at the lake. We have been focusing mostly on the indicator bite, but we have

Not A Lot Has Changed on The Truckee

by RENO FLY SHOP

Not a lot has changed for the Truckee River. The river is at 210 CFS through the downtown gauge. We have a few storms rolling in through the area over the next couple of weeks. This can really help out the dry fly fishing as overcast days promote the hatching of blue winged olives. A size 18-16 Parachute Adams or Pullover BWO imitation has worked

Despite cold nighttime temperatures and some snow, the ice on area reservoirs remains treacherous. Very little thickening of the ice. Use extreme caution in the area.

Striper Action is Slow on The Colorado River

Colorado River - Laughlin

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Striper action is slow on the Colorado River. Anglers are reporting little success with anchovies and better results with swimbaits in trout patterns. Rainbow trout are favoring a worm and PowerBait combination over spinners. Look for trout in their hiding spots below docks, in shaded areas near brush along the shores, and where slow and fast-moving waters meet.

Willow Beach anglers are reporting the best rainbow trout fishing before noon. Fish up to 3 pounds are being reeled in from the fishing pier. Spinners are producing the most catches, but worms and PowerBait are also reliable choices

Cold & A Little Snow

by MATT KOLES

Cold and a little snow. Just waiting for that zonal jet stream to take aim on Nor Cal, it’s coming. We’ve just been getting brushed. For now, cold temps and some snow. Been spending my time on the lower river streamer fishing. Though it’s cold in Reno too right now, flows and temps are still a bit warmer then around here. We’re starting to run into some
