Action For Stocked Rainbow Trout is Good

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Action for stocked rainbow trout is good following weekly plants at Willow Beach. Anglers are catching the fish with PowerBait and spinners. Rooster Tails, Panther Martins and Mepp’s spinners are generally a good choice. Smallmouth and largemouth bass are taking plastics and poppers near submerged brush at the edges of coves. Some fish already are fanning out areas for nests. Stripers are biting anchovies and

Catch Rates are Slow

Las Vegas Urban Ponds

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Catch rates are slow at most of the ponds with trout refusing most baits and the warm water fish not yet active. Trout fishing should pick up as the weather settles out. A few anglers have found better fishing using PowerBait and spinners in gold or silver.

Bass Fishing Picking Up

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The number of anglers fishing for bass is increasing as largemouth and smallmouth move into the shallows for the prespawn. As the water continues to warm, the fish should begin making nests. Crankbaits, drop shot rigs and soft plastics are worth trying. Striper action has been slow and reports light, but fishing will improve as we move into spring. Night fishing under lights can be

Our Striper Bite is Picking Up

Colorado River - Davis Dam

The trout plant is working well and producing some nice rainbows for our anglers. We have 2 stocking sites this time of year Davis Camp and Community park. Anglers are having great luck at both sites. Our local angler Jason Trautwein was fishing from the shore at Davis Camp. He was using his favorite spinner to land his limit of five Rainbow Trout. I have

Good Fishing if You Can Find the Soft Water

by MATT KOLES

Still a bit cold and snowing. No snow here in the Hirsch, but still snowing on top. Big winter so far. Lots of water in the river too. About 1,600 k here, and just a bit higher in Nevada. Snows melting a bit and getting to the river is a little easier this last week. Good fishing if you can find the soft water. The Truckee River will

The Winter Storms Have Stirred Up the Giant Cutthroat

by DOUG RODRICKS

It has been a good bite here as the winter storms have stirred up the giant cutthroat to move into the beaches to feed. Popcorn beetles, balanced leeches, midges, and black buggers have been the flies of choice lately. The water can be off color south of Wino, but it has been cleaner and more consistent from the North nets area. Some of the popular

The Ranch Fished Excellent this Week

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by JIM REID

The ranch fished excellent this week with reports coming in of anglers getting into an even mix of browns and rainbows and getting 15 to 25 fish per day. Sounds like the best time of the day has been between about 10 and 2 with the best success coming with nymphs. A couple fish have been caught on streamers but nymphing has been the best.

Really Good From Here Through Memorial Day.

by RENO FLY SHOP

Looks like there is a chance that we are currently receiving the last of the big cold storms of the season. I know that we will still have some storms, but we are hoping that they large cold crazy ones have now passed. The Truckee river is moderately high currently. Bouncing around 1,600-1,800 cfs. This can be a challenging level but one can be rewarded with

Fishing is Super Good.

by MATT KOLES

Still raining and snowing. Mostly rain here last week. Good, melted a lot of snow. Still hard to get to the river here in the Hirsch, but better than the week before. Down about Farad, most of the snow has melted off. We still have about 4-5 feet at my house. The gates are open on Lake Tahoe. I imagine them to stay open for the foreseeable

High water is a Great Time to Get Out

by RENO FLY SHOP

Higher water on the Truckee river is a great time to get out. Fish the edges of the channel and still look for BWOs on cloudy days.

We did have one client on the ranch this week and he was able to hook up a dozen or more fish, both browns and rainbows. His best success was on san juan worms, dark lords and conehead zuddlers. He reported that the fish were very feisty and fought hard. Most of the fish were in the 14 to 18 inch range with one or

Not many anglers have gone out due to weather. Last weekend I fished for about six hours with friend Tom Blotter. We boated and released 3 fish in the 14 to 16 inch class. The lake level has come up about 3-4 feet and the water clarity is good. Surface temps were 37 to 39 degrees. But the fishing was slow for boaters. Shore anglers
