Truckee Has Been on Fire!

by RENO FLY SHOP
The Truckee River has been on fire! Blue winged olive mayflies are hatching daily. The trout are not always looking up for them, but they are expecting the hatch and nymphing has been incredible. Fish are moving into moderately paced water. Not too slow, but also not too fast. Focusing on seams and foam lines has also been a key factor to find feeding fish.

Putting in The Work and it Paid Off

Anglers Need to Break Ice in Shallow Areas

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Ice cover has thawed significantly on area reservoirs. However, anglers may need to break ice to fish in shallow areas. Trout are hitting on olive emerger fly patterns, Rooster Tails, and rainbow PowerBait. Cold temperatures will keep bass on the less active end of things.

Ice is Thawing Rapidly

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Rain is expected for this coming weekend. Ice is thawing rapidly and too thin for ice fishing. Holes for fishing can be drilled along the dock along the dock.

Ice Has Completely Thawed

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Ice has completely thawed. Rainbow trout are taking worms and rainbow PowerBait.

Stocked Rainbows Are Schooling Below Dam

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Stocked rainbow trout are schooling up below Davis Dam and through Casino Row. The fish are biting on PowerBait, night crawlers, and spinners. Boaters and shore anglers are both catching fish. Anglers are reporting that stripers are biting on soft plastics and trout swimbaits below Davis Dam. With temperatures in the mid- high- 60’s largemouth bass should grow increasingly active in the vegetation near shore.

Crankbaits and Plastics Working Well for Smallmouth

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Crankbaits and plastics have been working for smallmouth bass at the south end of the lake. Look for bass hanging around boulder fields, off points and near habitat structures in well-developed coves. Striped bass have been showing up south of Willow Beach with anglers having success with trout imitations and anchovies.

Catfish Are Becoming More Active

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The Nevada Department of Wildlife recently stocked trout in the ponds at Sunset, Lorenzi, and Veterans Memorial parks. Trout are taking PowerBait, small spinning lures and spoons. Silver varieties of lures are working the best. With temperatures beginning to warm up, catfish are becoming more active and have hit worms and stink baits.

Fishing Should Be Picking up Soon

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Silver and green colored jerkbaits are fooling stripers around Kingman Wash and along drop-offs by the water in-take. Anglers are having a hard time finding shad near Government Wash but are finding success with anchovies fished off the bottom. Largemouth bass are still hard to find, but fishing should pick up when water temperatures increase.

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY

Spring Fishing Already in Full Swing

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS
Late February at the lake and so far, so good. The spring fishing seems to be in full swing already with little or no cold weather and or precipitation soon. The water temperature is already 47 degrees which is probably a couple of weeks ahead of schedule. We could still have a cold snap and slow things down also. Tons of big fish have been

The Truckee is Fishing Great

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS
The Truckee is fishing great. Especially in Nevada. Blue Wing Olives and Midges are out in force and fish can even be caught on dries right now. Middle of the day is the time to go and be ready for anything. Nymphing with Baetis in size 16-18 and Midges in 18 are a good way to go. Fish are in slower deeper water so take

Fish Are on The Chew

by PYRAMID FLY CO.
You know the old adage, “ You should have been here last week”?  Well that’s not the case.  With the full moon past us the fish are on the chew once again.  The change in weather patterns is also proving to be a nice change this morning.  The low cloud cover and chop has got the trout feeling comfortable and crushing the shallows feeding more frequently. As

Solid Fishing on The Truckee

by MATT KOLES
Good solid fishing on the Truckee River. Feels almost like spring in Tahoe/ Reno. Super balmy for mid-Feb. When I say good fishing, I’m talking the Nevada side of the Truckee River, not in Ca. That’s where I’ve been spending my time. The water is low and clear and cold still in Ca. So no more dry fly fishing down on the lower river. Lots of bugs, but
