Echo Canyon Reservoir Fishing Report

Up on Lake Mohave the Channel Catfish are biting on worms, anchovies, chicken and liver. Your best spots are the coves above the power lines. Anglers have some luck with the Striped Bass in the mouths of the coves near the Davis Dam and the points of the coves seem to be your best bet.

Hot is the word here in Tahoe/Truckee/Reno on the Truckee River.  Nice in the mornings, hot as hell in the afternoons. They will set a record for consecutive days over 90 in Reno this summer.
