Lake Mohave Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Black bass and stripers are biting south of Cottonwood Cove. The fish are holding in the brush along the shore. Anglers fishing from the shoreline are finding the best action for stripers and catfish during the early morning hours and in the evening. Boaters are catching stripers by fishing anchovies off the bottom during the day.  

Catfish and Bass Also are Taking Baits!

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Sunfish have been hitting mealworms at Floyd Lamb Park. Catfish and bass also are taking baits. While no reports were received from the other urban ponds, bluegill, bass and catfish should be hitting in the early morning and after sunset. Due to high temperatures, catfish will not be planted during July but stocking activity should resume in August.

Swimbaits and Anchovies are Working Best!

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The Overton Arm is fishing well for both shore anglers and boaters. This is a great place for fishing from small boats and paddlecraft, such as kayaks. Anglers are catching bass, catfish and striped bass. Swimbaits and anchovies are working best near the dam and in the Government Wash area.

We are having a great fishing season both Striped Bass and Rainbow Trout.  We do have a few other type of fish to go after but these 2 are most common and easy to land.  Here below the Davis Dam along the Colorado river this year is the greatest.  The trout bite has slowed some because of the heat as this fish likes the colder

Nymphing of Course is the Way to go.

by MATT KOLES
Heating up here on the Truckee River. Figured the heat of summer would kick in at some point. High’s are near 90 here in the Hirsch, and just plain hot in Reno. The river is fishing well in the mornings and shitty mid-day. Like I always say this time of year, take a break and come back right before dark. Mudbugs and stones and pmds, and lots

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by PYRAMID LAKE STAFF
Stripers have been starting to boil throughout the lake and in the canal by the front booth over the past week and been biting on some lures and baits like sardines, chicken liver, and lugworms. Catfish have also been biting out on the lake and also from shore in front of the boat shop. Bass have also been pretty active with the warmer water and

Nymphing has Been Holding Out Very Well!

by JIM REID
We had a few clients on the ranch this past week and they all did pretty well down there, the water on the ranch does not get near as much pressure as the rest of the river (of course) so the fish down there don’t seem to get as picky as on other stretches. We didn’t have any streamer reports from down there but the

Caples Lake Report

by DOUG BUSEY
Summer time heat has settled in and afternoon winds are a given. All fish are stuffed with food, such as shrimp, crawdads, and kokanee salmon. Mackinaw are on the bottom engorged with food from midnight hunting in the full moon. We have been getting them in 110 to 180 feet one day and then the next 280 to 350 feet. Dodgers and minnows, flashers and

Carson River Fish Report

by DOUG BUSEY
Over the last few weeks the NDOW has been planting rainbow and brown trout. The fishing has been good up by the old broken dam area. The fish are scattered and you may need to do a little walking. But where else would you rather be on a hot summer day. For more information stop by the Anglers Edge.

Still Lots of Nice Browns in the 20+ inch Range!

by JIM REID
The Sceirine is still fishing very well though we have been getting a lot of clients and reservations for down there lately.  San juan worms, squirmy wormy’s, dark lords, military mayflies, buckskin caddis, Fox’s poopah and LaFontaines deep sparkle pupa are all doing well down there. There are still lots of nice browns in the 20+ inch range roaming the ranch.

Fishing has Been Very Good!

by AARON MEIER
Fishing has been very good despite the seasonal growth of aquatic vegetation that tends to line the shorelines and makes fishing difficult at times. Boaters should be prepared to clean their propellers periodically. Trout, bass and crappie have been taking a variety of baits and lures, but the best action has been early morning and after sunset.  

Fishing Remains Good!

by AARON MEIER
Fishing remains good. Bait anglers are doing well using PowerBait or night crawlers with a bit of mini-marshmallow. Fly-fishers are doing well using brown or dark olive bead head Woolly Buggers. Bass are taking spinning lures in the upper section near the weeds and tules. Aquatic vegetation has begun to show, but the shoreline is still fishable.  

Rainbow Trout are Hitting Well!

by AARON MEIER
The reservoir is starting to get weedy, but rainbow trout are hitting well, and Crappie and bass are taking jigs and spinning lures. The best fishing is taking place in the mornings.  

Everything is Biting Below Davis Dam!

by AARON MEIER
Everything is biting below Davis Dam. Trout are hitting on spinners and PowerBait. Striped bass are hitting baits all along Casino Row and south to Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area. Anchovies have been the best bet for stripers and catfish on the river. Fishing is good from boat and shore.

The Fish are Stocked on Fridays!

by AARON MEIER
Trout are biting below Willow Beach. The fish are stocked on Fridays. A lucky grandson caught his limit of 5 this past Friday while trolling PowerBait with his Grandpa just below the beach. Stripers are biting better during the overnight hours. Fish in the 1-3 pound range are taking anchovies, though a 14-pound striper took a jointed swimbait in a trout pattern. Some fly-fishers found

Stripers were Boiling at Sunrise Saturday!

by AARON MEIER
 Stripers were boiling at sunrise Saturday. They are hitting on silver jerkbaits, shad patterns and trout imitations. Anchovies caught both striped bass and catfish off the Hemenway Fishing Pier on Saturday, which also happened to be World Fishing Day. Worms fished off the bottom also are working for catfish. Bluegill are lurking near the pier as well. Bass are still hitting soft plastics outside of

Lyman Prostaff Team

by ROBERT VARIK
South Lake Tahoe, native Robert Varik grew up trout fishing with his father, and is now well known in the west coast angling community for catching trophy lake trout, rainbows and browns on Lake Tahoe and other high sierra waters. Rob's catches are all the more impressive in that he fishes in a 12 foot aluminum fishing boat and a Hobie kayak. Using what he

Nymphing is Still the Best Down there!

by JIM REID
The Sceirine is still fishing very well, the last couple anglers we had down there were able to get into good numbers of fish though not too many over about 16 or 18 inches. Nymphing is still the best down there as well. The California side of the river tends to get pretty crowded this time of the year so if you want some water

Kokanee!

by JAMES NETZEL
Changed things up today. Trolled straight for the little Truckee arm picking up Kokanee after Kokanee along the way. Hit the shallows in the Truckee for a bunch of dink cutthroats and 5 pansized native rainbows. Turned around and trolled back to ramp to finish our limit of Kokanee.  Ya don’t have to fish with the pack of boats to catch 50 kokanee by 10am. Save yourself some frustration and
