More rain and snow for the Truckee River. Not much here in the Hirsch, but some good snow up top. Mainly rain here. Little bump in the flows, big bump down on the lower river. River will level out this week, and it should be a good week for fishing. Good week last week. In Nevada, the streamer fishing was good. Good in December? Yes, it was

Fishing Has Been Very Good

by DOUG BUSEY
Fishing has been very good for anglers that have been able to dodge the weather.  The west side of the lake from Camp Richardson to just past Emerald Bay has been rated good for anglers trolling the rocky areas with Rapalas in 30 to 60 feet of water.

Weather is Rough But Fishing is Great

by RUSTY
The weather is rough but the fishing is great, well for trout anyway. this time of year we do get some of the larger stripers cruising our waterways. The area near the Laughlin bridge and the Colorado River below the Davis Dam has produced some great stripped bass catches. This is a super time for shore fishing for both stripers and our rainbow trout that

Truckee River Fishing Report

by MATT KOLES
Wet and soggy. Better than cold and dry though. If you came up last week, way too cold to fish. I didn’t bother going out, or take on any guide trips. We had cold and snow. This week is different. Warmer and wet. Some snow and mostly rain here in the Hirsch. Much warmer air temps this week and a little boost in the flows. Fishing is

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
Cooler temperatures and shorter days are bringing fish in closer to shore, improving shore fishing . We expect this to further improve within the next few weeks. Lure fishermen are doing better off shore due to the fact they are able to cover deeper water more efficiently and those using flies should stick with stripping streamers off of the deeper beaches. Trollers are doing very

The Storms Are Treating The Lake Very Nicely!

by RENO FLY SHOP
The storms have been treating the lake very nicely! Surface temps are sub 50 degrees, and with the overcast and low pressure the Lahontan Cutthroat are getting shallow and feeding well. The indicator bite has begun to pick up, but the retrieve bite is still my preferred method. The trout seem to be pretty well scattered throughout the lake we’re seeing fish being caught on the

Water Clarity Has Been Really Clear

by RENO FLY SHOP
Truckee River  The water clarity on the Truckee River as of late has been really clear, making fish pretty spooky. Storms rolling in for the next few weeks will bring in some needed moisture and raise the river a few CFS while raising some turbidity as well. Otherwise, the fish are focused on small flies; sizes 18-20 and smaller if you dare. The trout have also
