Riviera Marina Fishing Report

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

We’ve got some great news for local anglers! There’s a solid run of stripers right now, and some trout are in the mix as well. Rotary Park has been freshly stocked with rainbow trout, making it an excellent spot to cast a line. Local angler Theresa Richardson recently landed a beautiful striper while fishing from shore along the Colorado River. Her catch weighed in at 4.58

The ranch has also been fishing very well as of late, both nymphing and with streamers. The flows are great down there and most anglers are reporting good days with 20 to 15 fish to hand per day. There are a good number of reservations on the books in the coming weeks so if you have plans to fish the ranch try to give us

It has been an interesting spring weather wise to say the least

by RENO FLY SHOP

It has been an interesting spring weather wise to say the least. We seem to be in a cycle of a few warm days and then a cold storm system that follows. Snow melt has seemingly been slower this year, as has the LCT’s return to post spawn behavior. Shallow Cutthroat still dot the shore consistently. Some fish are heading into deeper water and are accessible

The Truckee River flow has dropped to below 700 cfs at the Reno gauge

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River flow has dropped to below 700 cfs at the Reno gauge. This is a great flow to target fish from downtown up to the California state line. Earlier in the week, flows were up around 1,150 cfs but dropped due to the colder storms. Runoff seems to be happening at snails pace this year which is keeping the river in fishable shape

They’ve been eating better from shore

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

They’ve been eating better from shore, so that’s where we have continued to spend our time. Nice weather, the world’s largest cutthroat and good company. What else could you ask for?

Flows are still up and down

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

While flows are still up and down on an hourly basis here, we have seen a downward trend over the last week thanks to the cold days. The river has cleared up from any of the color it had and is fishing very well using most perdigon-style flies or various mayfly nymph imitations. The larger bugs like stones, worms and eggs are always good for

Flows are increasing, making wading more difficult

Humboldt River - South Fork

Flows are increasing, making wading more difficult. Fishing below the dam has been very productive this spring. Anglers are finding trout in the pools. Special Regulation: Artificial lures with single barbless hooks only above the Lucky Nugget causeway. Limit of 1 trout.

Jakes Creek Reservoir (Boies Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Surface water temps are climbing into the high 50s. The reservoir is full and water is relatively clear. Expect soft and muddy shorelines with weekend precipitation. Trout up to 18″ are being caught. Try small and bright spinners, worms or your favorite PowerBait. Anglers are reporting a few bass and catfish catches and catch rates will be picking up more with the warmer weather. Spring

Expect muddy shorelines due to intermittent precipitation over the last few weeks

Jiggs Reservoir (Zunino Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Expect muddy shorelines due to intermittent precipitation over the last few weeks. Trout fishing has been fair to good for fish in the 9″ range and will improve after spring stocking. Bass and bluegill fishing remains slow but should begin picking up with warmer weather forecasted in the coming weeks. The water level is low so the boat ramp cannot be used at this time.

Harrison Pass is open

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Harrison Pass is open. Spring stocking has begun with rainbow trout stocked in Unit 21 and South Lakes. Trout in the 15″ t0 20″ range are being caught in the collection ditch. Fly anglers are reporting success with dark-colored streamer patterns, as well as your favorite nymph pattern (pheasant tail, gold-ribbed hares ear, etc.). Trout will start hitting dry flies as the weather warms up.

Wildhorse is full and spilling

Wild Horse Reservoir

Wildhorse is full and spilling. The State Park has put the boat dock in the water and the ramp is open. Water temps are sitting in the low to mid 50s. Trout are moving into the shallows, improving catch rates from shore. Anglers are catching trout averaging 16″ to 22″. Bass fishing will be slow until warmer weather persists. Note: There is some debris in the

The road to Wilson is clear and dry and the lake is full

Wilson Reservoir

The road to Wilson is clear and dry and the lake is full. There is opportunity for open water fishing from the shorelines. With more precipitation forecasted for this weekend, expect the road and shorelines to be a bit muddy. PowerBait and worms or small flashy spinners should work for spin anglers, while small nymph, midge and leech patterns should work for fly anglers.

South Fork Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Water temperatures are creeping into the low 60s. Spring stocking has begun with over 5,000 rainbow trout stocked early April. Trout are moving into the shallows. Bait anglers are having the best luck with trout hitting orange PowerBait, while fly anglers are having success with nymph, midge and leech patterns. Streamers are being hit hard off the dam. Below the dam, fly anglers are finding

Fishing has been good to fair on Lake Tahoe

by DOUG BUSEY

Fishing has been good to fair. Jason has been catching limits of mackinaws and a few browns. Best areas have been from Cave rock to the north for browns and mac's. Mainly because the NDOW recently planted the lake a week ago with catchable rainbows. Other areas have been off the Camp Richardson shelf with J plugs or Rapalas. For more information or to set

Fishing has been good

by DOUG BUSEY

When you can get out without the "W". Fishing has been good. Most have been using flashers and worms. I prefer to use small Cowbells, gold and silver. They are smaller and less drag for a better fight. Rapalas have been productive on top and down deep. Keep changing patterns and sizes to find the most productive for that day.

Colorado River - Laughlin

The Colorado River below Davis Dam is producing some excellent catches this time of year. Anglers are reporting success from various spots, with anchovies working best, while different lures are bringing in some of the larger fish. One of our local anglers, Karie Camargo, stopped in to share her recent catch — a beautiful 3.66-pound, 22-inch striper! She was fishing from shore in the Rotary Park
