Jiggs Fishing Report

Jiggs Reservoir (Zunino Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Good water level and fairly clear water have improved fishing conditions at Jiggs Reservoir. Shore fishermen don’t appear to be faring as well as boaters or float tube anglers. Remember this is a wakeless water. While there is no limitation on motor size, it is illegal to operate your vessel in a manner which produces a wake. The usual small spinners,

Ruby Lake Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Very little change here and Harrison Pass sis open, though take a 4WD with clearance as there are some washouts. Water levels are up with some turbidity due to runoff making fishing a bit more difficult. Fishing has been fair for trout and there have been no reports of any bass being caught. Fly rodders should try the usual

Wild Horse Reservoir Fishing Report

Wild Horse Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Very little change here as Wildhorse continues to receive a lot of snow melt keeping the water level very high and there is a lot of water going over the spillway as well as lots of water still in the form of snow in the basin. You can launch a boat and the boat dock is in the water. Surface water temperatures

Willow Creek Reservoir Fishing Report

Willow Creek Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

This water was recently stocked with approximately 2000 trout and the lake is almost to capacity. The road is rough so care should be taken driving here. Crappie should be moving into the shallows to spawn. It has had very light angler pressure, so no report on fishing conditions.

Wilson Reservoir Fishing Report

Wilson Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The road to Wilson lots of potholes and washboards, so take your time, but fishing here has been good for trout and fair for bass. The lake is spilling with enough water going over the new rock below the spillway to let trout move down into the river and pools below the spillway. Fishing below the spillway had been good and should

Angel Lake Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The road to Angel Lake is open! The lake is approximately 80% ice covered, but there is 15 to 20 feet of open water by the dam and the fish are cooperating there. Access around the rest of the lake is limited due to snow, but for those who are willing to trudge through the snow, there is some good fishing in open

South Fork Reservoir Fishing Report

South Fork Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The surface water temperatures have climbed into the 60’s and fishing for both trout and bass is fair to good. Anglers have had good luck in Coyote Cove and along Jet Ski Beach, but coves further north on the east side such as Tomera, the boat ramp cove and those closer to the dam are good bets for trout anglers. The fish being

Cave Lake Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing has been fair to good for 10 to 12 inch fish using worms or cheese baits under a bobber. Small spinners are also effective. For fly rodders: hare’s ears, pheasant tail nymphs, prince nymphs, small crystal buggers and Cave Lake specials are all good flies. The surface water temperatures are in the mid 50’s and there have been occasional hatches of

Cold Creek Reservoir Fishing Report

Cold Creek Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

This is currently at about 90% of capacity and fishing is picking up. Trout have been seen rising and dimpling the surface, especially in the warmer afternoons. Chironomids, scuds and small nymphs (size 16 to 20) fished either right above the bottom or just under the surface appear to be working. This lake was recently stocked with approximately 2000 rainbow trout.

Illipah Fishing Report

Illipah Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

There are still some muddy areas, so anglers should use caution when driving around the lake though it is drying out. The public should still plan on sticking to areas with good gravel substrate to keep from getting stuck with the precipitation that is forecast for next week. The usual worms, PowerBait or mealworms should all work. Small spinners and spoons should

Topaz Lake Fish Report

by DOUG BUSEY

The water level is up, but beware of the floating debris coming in from the run off. Early morning has been more productive for anglers using blades and a night crawler. Asd the sun comes up you need to go deeper. Shore angler shave had fair success with power bait. With the cloud cover and cooler temps, this would be good weekend to fish the

Colorado River - Willow Beach

by WILLOW BEACH HARBOR

The staff from Willow Beach Marina checked in today with a fish story. Congratulations to Gary on reeling in this 22.98 lb striper this morning! Nice catch!

Oh My!

by MATT KOLES

Big water still. Flows should probably get more manageable, 2’nd week of July on the Truckee River. For now, clarity is good, fish have adapted to the high flows and they are fat and healthy. Soon the real lower stuff will open up and it will be lights out. Like Floriston on down through Nevada. Lots of those fish haven’t seen a fly since

Sceirine Ranch Fish Report

East Walker River Sceirine Ranch

by JIM REID

We haven’t had anyone on the ranch this week but when the flows start to come down we expect the fishing to be excellent down there!

Spooner Lake Tiger Trout

by CHAD WOODS

The Truckee River – The Blue Ribbon of the Northern Sierra

by JON BAIOCCHI

Some of my fondest memories growing up were fly fishing the Truckee River in the mid 1970’s with my dad. Back then it was a rarity to see someone using a fly rod while plying the river’s currents, and when we did see such a person, my dad would make it a point to introduce himself and talk about fly fishing with a complete stranger.

Striper action continues

The staff from Willow Beach checked in today with a Striper update from the Colorado River. Today Kaitlynn caught this 8.82 pound striper this morning at the 51MM. Nice catch!

Truckee River Update

by MATT KOLES

Busy busy Memorial Day weekend. Little late on the report, but that’s what happens. Guiding, watching twins, and repairing the deck keeps a man busy. Anyways the Truckee River is still high, but fishing very very well. In fact we have had some very unusual numbers days, meaning quantity and quality. Quantity is rare, but quality ain’t on this river. When you hook 10-15 fish

Flows Dropping

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

With the current flows being high one will still be fishing the softer water closer to the bank, with flow to it, as trout will not be fighting the higher flows found in the middle of the river. Trout this time of year, and in the situation we’re in, can be found in some shallow water just to avoid the flow and use as little
