Anglers Enjoying Weekly Rainbow Trout Plants

Colorado River - Laughlin

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Anglers are enjoying the benefits of weekly rainbow trout plants. Pink, green and yellow PowerBaits are producing the best action below Davis Dam, and small spinning lures are also catching the fish. The areas below Big Bend State Recreation Area and along Casino Row are providing good fishing for both trout and stripers. Stripers are hitting on anchovies off the bottom.

Striper Action Remains Steady

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Striper action remains steady for boaters using shad and light-colored swim baits. Shore anglers are most successful in the evening using anchovies in the coves. Rainbow trout stocking continues each week at Willow Beach. Anglers are having the most success with PowerBait or worms.

Seasonal Trout Plants Have Begun

Las Vegas Urban Ponds

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Seasonal trout plants have begun. The Nevada Department of Wildlife will stock rainbow trout again this week at Floyd Lamb, Sunset, and Veteran’s Memorial Park ponds.

Anglers are catching bass and catfish at Floyd Lamb and Sunset parks on warm afternoons.

Striper Bite Has Been Best at Sunrise

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The striper bite is best at sunrise when they are feeding on shad. Imitation shad and minnow swimbaits work well during this time, though live shad are generally the most productive bait. Anglers are still catching catfish, some as large as 6 pounds, on anchovies in the Hemenway Harbor area. With cloudy days and chances of rain in the forecast, expect some variations in fishing

Finally A Change in The Weather

by MATT KOLES

Finally a change in the weather. Not a big change, but at least it feels like fall now, or early winter? Seems like it’s always feast or famine in Ca. You just never know what kind of winter we’ll have. We get pounded with snow, or we don’t. Truckee River is cold and low in Ca. Don’t mean you can’t catch fish. If you know the type

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

Pyramid Lake Pyramid lake has still been a little hit and miss as far as fishing goes. We really need a good storm and some colder weather to break up the monotony of blue skies and little wind.
