Let Em Run

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

What a wild week! For early December the lake is fishing extremely well. While we are still using the, "Quality over quantity", motto, some days can be a bit of both. As we pushed through the full moon the indicator bite produced some extremely nice fish. This fishery seems to be getting better and better. Where to fish one asks? Well, if I told you

Kirch Wildlife Management Area

Water Levels Are Steady & Low

Bobbers Dropping All Day!

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

Jim’s first day at the lake was one to remember! The bobbers were dropping and more often than not they were good size fish. And when you’re 6’ 5” you make even the big fish look like normal ones. Needless to say, its only 4:30 and I’m tired from sprinting but and down the beach.

Waiting For Winter

by MATT KOLES

Waiting for winter. We have the cold, just need some snow. Flows are low, water is cold. High pressure looks to be parked over us for another 2 weeks, ugh. Very cold overnight lows, somewhat mild afternoons. Your best fishing, especially on the CA side will be later in the day when the water warms a bit. It’s cold and low and not easy fishing. Kinda like

Action at The lake Have Increased

by RENO FLY SHOP

The action at the lake has increased as the trout are getting comfortable in depths less than 15 feet. Retrieving flies has still been the most productive, but midges and balanced leeches under the indicator are producing at times. Morning and evening bite, in low light conditions, has been best. The Cat Whisker and Deadpool Booby Fly have been very effective. Followed closely by the Midnight

Fish Have Acclimated To Winter Water Temps

by RENO FLY SHOP

The river has come up to a bit over 225 cfs through the downtown gauge and the temperatures are fluctuating from the high 30s to the mid 40s. The fish have acclimated to these wintery water temperatures and are starting to feeding midday as the water warms. Smaller nymphs under an indicator or European style nymphing has worked well.
