Truckee River Fishing Report

by MATT KOLES

Nice balmy fall weather on the Truckee River. Cold as balls in the morning. Warms up nice in the afternoon. Typical fall weather in Tahoe/Reno. As far as the fishing, well, it’s good. October is a great month here and anywhere to fish for trout in the West. I think November is better than October, but the weather sure is nice right now. Flows have dropped, nice and

Pyramid Lake Water Temps Already at 64 Degrees

by RENO FLY SHOP

The opener has come and gone, and it was a busy one. Fishing was a little slow with only a few fish caught through the day. Water temps are already at 64 degrees (which is much cooler than past openers). Fish are looking to chase tui-chub, but with temperatures dropping quickly the bait fish are heading into deeper water. Retrieving Booby Flies, Pyramid Lake Beetle,

Truckee River is Stabilizing Around 375 cfs

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River is fluctuating a bit from the storms earlier in the week, but is stabilizing around 375 cfs. Fall is definitely upon us. Storms are beginning to stack up and colder temperatures are moving in. On colder days fish have been becoming active later in the afternoon. Fly selection is getting simpler as most insects are tucking into rocks and preparing to hibernate.

Truckee River Fishing Has Been Very Good

by MATT KOLES

Big changes ahead this week weather wise. Lows could get into the teens here in the Hirsch, highs in the upper 40’s. Nice and cold at night and cool during the day in Reno as well. Maybe not much of an Indian Summer this fall. Fishing has been very good if you plan your fishing when the trouts are feeding. I think most of the time we

Lake Mohave Striper Report

by RUSTY

The striper action is picking up. The coves near the power lines are your go to spots and watch for the shad boils. Near the dam the fish seem to be a bit deeper and anchovies are bring them in to the boat. The shoreline near the dam has some great spots to try your luck. I did hear of a few anglers trolling on

Fish Have Been Surface Feeding Preety Actively

Hobart Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Terrestrial fishing is excellent. Parachute ants, beetles, and damsel adults are all taken off the surface throughout the day. Fish have also been aggressive enough to hunt down slowly retrieved nymphs all day long. Midge and dragons are the most prolific insects at the moment. Fish have also been on the surface feeding pretty actively when the wind is down.

Cooler Temps Will Help Bring The Fish Up

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Good to fair reports of smaller macs trolling fairly deep. Cooler temperatures will help bring fish up over the next six weeks. Shore anglers are using smaller spinners for planted trout and larger spoons for larger rainbows and browns have been doing well.

2019 Season Closed

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The 2019 fishing season is closed

Squaw Creek Fishing Report

Squaw Creek Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing at Squaw Reservoir can be productive through the summer months near the dam for trout or at the inlet for bass. Now is the best time of year for largemouth bass at the reservoir. Early and late in the day poppers can be effective along and in the shoreline tulles. Spinnerbaits and floating rapalas can also work well along the shoreline for large bass.

Difficult to Access

Wall Canyon Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Wall Canyon Reservoir is currently difficult to access due to the amount of precipitation received in the region. The access is road is extremely muddy and four wheel drive is necessary. As things dry out in the spring expect excellent fishing for carryover rainbow and brown trout as well as smallmouth bass.

The River is in Excellent Condition

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The river is in excellent condition. Flows are at prime fall levels and the cool overnight temperatures have kept the trout happy. Fishing mid-day will continue to be good until the cold really sets in. Insects are abundant with the amount of water we’ve seen over the last three seasons. Spin fisherman have been doing well around the parks for hatchery trout. Depending on where

The Carson is Fishing Well

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The Carson is fishing well but has been pretty crowded in the usual haunts. Flows are still coming down making some access points challenging. Spin fisherman using larger spinner and spoons have caught some good fish recently. Fly fisherman moving larger streamers through deeper water have caught some really healthy fish recently. Larger stonefly nymphs paired with small pheasant tails under the indicator have also

Topaz Has Been Fishing Weel

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Topaz has been fishing well, shore anglers with powerbait and boaters trolling flash rigs are doing the best. Most trout are around 12 inches with a few up to 18 reported. Crawlers off the bottom have also been productive early and late in the day. Fishing for trout should remain good and productive through fall.

Fishing From Boat Has Been Most Productive

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing has been better as more access to lake opens up from shore. Fishing out of a boat will be the most productive option until the cold really sets in and knocks down the remaining vegetation. Morning mayfly and midge hatches have been a little inconsistent but fish seem to still sporadically breaking the surface till the sun comes up. Fly fisherman in boats have

by PYRAMID LAKE GUIDES

The season is now open on Pyramid Lake, Nevada. Reports are limited, but some boat anglers have been able to locate some Lahontans. Early storms and lower temps might mean a cold season, which is a good thing!
