Striper Action is Good

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Striper fishing is good for those anglers willing to brave chilly temperatures in the early mornings and at dusk. If you are looking for live bait, Vegas Wash is the place to net some shad. The stretch from Boulder Harbor to the Hemenway fishing pier has been fishing well. Look for areas where birds are circling and diving; this can be an indicator of where

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

After a week of pretty slow fishing due to inclement weather and the lake’s surface temps dropping 6 degrees in a week, the LCT are settling into the colder water and feeding in the afternoons. We’re picking up some cruising fish in the early morning under windicators with balanced leeches, but the main bite has been in the afternoons retreiving boobies and beetles. The fish

Truckee River Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

Flows on the Truckee river have been bouncing around a bit with a series of storms that pushed through the area last week. The increase in flows helped fishing by bringing much needed nutrients and some turbidity to the otherwise crystal clear water. The fish are holding in slow water and are targeting small flies (#16-#20). Hatches have been happening on overcast calm days, but

No Recent Reports

Jakes Creek Reservoir (Boies Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

No recent report but expect some ice here as well with shore access to open water poor. Expect the lake to freeze over with unsafe ice any time if it already hasn’t done so. As a general rule, any ice here should not be considered safe until after January 1.

No Shore Access For Fishing

Jiggs Reservoir (Zunino Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

This impoundment is mostly ice covered with no shore access for fishing. With the colder predicted temperatures expect the lake to freeze over this weekend and with an aerator running to help prevent a winter fish kill, any ice here this winter should be considered unsafe.

Ruby Lake Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Water levels in the collection ditch are low and clear and fishing for trout is fair to good depending upon the day. Stormy, windy or cloudy days seem to be the best. Anglers would do well to target areas where springs flow into the ditch or around culverts that create some flow between the ditch and the units. Very small dark flies fished dry or

No Recent Reports

Wilson Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
