Smaller Dry Flies on the Warm Afternoons

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
With the cooler water temperatures, bass fishing is pretty much done for the year. Surface water temperatures are in the high 30’s to low 40’s depending upon where you are. Fishing continues to be fair to good at the collection ditch for 12 to 16 inch trout.  Small spinners and minnow imitations were producing some fish for spin fishermen, but fly rodders were doing better. 

Shore Anglers are Having Good Luck

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Surface water temperatures have dipped into the high 30’s and trout fishing is slowing down, though anglers do report catching some nice trout.  Penrod and Hendricks arms were mostly iced over earlier in the week, though much of it has opened up with the warmer daytime temperatures.  Shore anglers are having good luck as trout have moved into shallower water, though boaters and float tubers

South End Producing More Fish Than Other Areas

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Surface water temperatures continue to drop, though they are still in the 40’s.  Cold mornings find ice in the backs of coves, but the ice disappears once the day warms up.  For the most part trout fishing is still fair, with the south end of the lake and the coves closest to the dam producing more fish than other areas.  Boaters and float tubers also

Cave Lake is Sitting at Capacity

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Cave Lake is sitting at capacity with surface water temperatures in the high 30’s to low 40’s and fishing is fair to good.  The usual PowerBait or worms as well as small spinners, Panther Martins or rooster tails should all work.  Still some dry fly action late in the afternoon.  Dries to try include BWO’s, Adams, Griffith’s gnats, ants, beetles, small stimulators, PMD’s and blue

Cold Creek Reservoir Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Trout fishing is slowing a bit as the surface water temperatures are ranging from 30’s to low 40’s depending upon the time of day.  Trout fishing has slowed, but anglers are still able to get a few fish. Bass fishing is pretty much done here, though an occasional bass is caught. Anglers should do well on Power Bait, Mepps, Panther Martins, and nightcrawlers. Chironomid patterns,

Fishing is Fair to Good

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Water levels have come up and the lake is around 50% of capacity.  Fishing is fair to good for 10 to 12 inch trout with the occasional 14 to 16 inch fish being taken.  Surface water temperatures are in the high 30’s and the lake is starting to ice up along the shorelines.  Anglers should have the best luck with Power Bait, Mepps, Panther Martins,

Fishing has Really Picked up From the Shore!

by RENO FLY SHOP
Fishing has really picked up from the shore!  Early mornings and late evenings the LCT have been moving into shore and are feeding heavily with the surface temps in the mid 50’s.  The fish are eating both retrieved flies and flies on a floating line with or without an indicator.  Moderately fast retrieves without pauses has been very productive with fish following flies right up

Truckee River Fly Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP
The Truckee River has really cooled off from our last report.  The River east of the downtown gauge has been starting the day in the high 30’s and only warming to the low 40’s.  This has shut fish down until the afternoon when the water temperatures do warm.  Fish have also migrated into the pools or the very back of runs to conserve energy.  In

Few Keepers for Yesterday

Few keepers for yesterday.  As boat warms up this morning the clarity of the sky and brightness of stars is ridiculous. Can see satellite, shooting stars, all the clusters. Early morning benefits!

Great Fishing Going on in Our Area.

by RUSTY
We are having some great fishing going on in our area.  Up on Lake Mohave the Channel Catfish are being found in the coves around the dam and near the power lines.  The striper bite is picking up near telephone cove on the Nevada side.  Our local angler Kris Moore landed a 6.18 pound channel at 24 and 3/4 inches using anchovies.

Its Rainbow and Stripers

by RUSTY
Below the Davis Dam here along the Colorado River its rainbow and stripers.  The casino area is a great spot for the Stripped Bass and your hard baits are producing the larger ones.  The community Park area is doing well for trout and stripers, the stripers are mostly in the 1 to 2 pound range.  While using cut anchovies you might need to try some

Been Good at Times, and Poor at Times

by MATT KOLES
Cold nights, brisk days on the Truckee River. Downright cold when the North wind is blowing.  Been about 15 here in the Hirsch every night, and not a whole hell of a lot warmer in Reno at night either.  The switch kinda turns mid-November’ish. The next 2 months or so are generally the coldest.  When we get storms on a regular basis it is actually much
