Truckee River Fishing Report

by MATT KOLES

I guess if you don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes. Ballistic hot over the weekend, snowing in the Hirsch today. Thought I was going to pass out from heat stroke on Friday, no wind, out in the sun all day. Shitty fishing. Sometimes the trouts don’t want to be on our schedule. Can’t blame them to be honest. Now, we have some good fall weather.

Sceirine Ranch Fishing Report

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

The ranch is fishing about like the California side right now with the exception that you can fish some larger bugs and they’re still seem to want to eat some stonefly nymphs down there. As with the California side, I expect the fishing to just keep getting better and better as the water and water temperatures decrease. I’m really looking forward to some great days on both

Fall is Here on The Truckee

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Shorter days colder mornings and fewer anglers on the river. Fall is here! The cooler nights have made for a longer window mid-morning. While mostly nymphing, anglers are still finding good opportunities with dries using caddis, BWO’s, PMD’s and hoppers mid-day. We expect the streamer bite to pick up in the following weeks as temps continue to drop making fish more willing to chase a

Shore Fishing Has Been Fair For Anglers

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake level has come down a few feet. Boaters have been doing good in the early morning hours with Rapalas or flashers and a worm. As the sun gets higher, the bite tapers off. I fished a couple weeks ago with fellow angler and friend Arnie Phelan from Carson City. We started out at day break, took us a half hour or so to

Black bass are hitting occasionally on shad but taking mostly lures in deep water. Bluegill continue to be popular with anglers who

The striper bite has slowed a bit. The early morning or early evening has been working the best here along the shores of the Colorado River. Not much word from up on Lake Mohave for much striper activity. I have heard of some smallmouth action along the shelves by the entrance to the coves on both the Nevada and Arizona side. There has been some largemouth

Less Like Summer and More Like Fall

by MATT KOLES

Much cooler the last few days. High’s in the 60’s, colder overnight. Not too hot in Reno either. Reno hit 100 degrees for 4 minutes this summer. They had 20 days over 100 the summer before.

We didn’t get any reports back from the ranch this week though we did hear a couple decent reports from the Rosachi section, sounds like they’re still eating some stonefly patterns as well as caddis nymphs, San Juan worms and midge patterns. With the water levels starting to go down we have been getting quite a few reservations for the ranch so if you’d like
