Fish Reports


No much to Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Due to colder temperatures and winter storms systems, few people have been seen on the management area and fishing pressure has been very light. The reservoirs remain ice free, which is mostly due to the high wind conditions and not the temperatures.

Good Fishing

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing remains good at the lake despite storm systems moving through the area over the past week. Three anglers who braved the elements did well for both rainbow trout and tiger trout while throwing Lil Jake lures and night crawlers. The lake remains free of ice, but contact the park for updated conditions (775-962-5102).

Low Fishing Pressure

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing pressure was very low over the past week as winter storms systems moved through the valley and kept most people off the water. The reservoir remains free of ice, but contact the park for updated conditions (775-962-5103).

Colorado River Laughlin Update

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Cooler weather changes fishing habits so you may need to change your approach. Fishing from shore has proven successful for stripers. Look for fish holding in holes near structure. Be wary of low water conditions.

Upper Mohave Update

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The upper Mohave has offered the best fishing recently. Some of the best action has come in the coves with top-water baits. According to one report, there was a 40-pound fish pulled in sometime last week.

Striper Action

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Striper action has been described as being okay during the morning and evening hours. Windy conditions have made boating and fishing difficult for much of the past week. Live shad and swimbaits are catching most of the fish, some pushing five to six pounds. Look for shad and stripers both in deep water.

Squaw Creek Reservoir Fishing Report

by RB BASS
Squaw Creek Reservoir, located at the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant between Glen Rose and Granbury, Texas is a clear and deep reservoir. The reservoir serves as the cooling source for two nuclear power units, and due to the warm water generated by the power plant, it is a very popular destination for cold weather fishing. The lake’s surface area is approximately 3,200 acres,

Pyramid Lake Report

by MATT KOLES
It’s cold in the high desert of Western Nevada this November. Feels like the Pyramid Lake everyone remembers.  Reno got almost a foot of snow yesterday and the drive out to the lake was a bit sketch. They probably haven’t seen that much snow-that low since ’11. Low pressures keep rolling in from AK, and that’s what you want for good fly fishing at Pyramid Lake.

Pyramid bite so-so

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS
Bite has been on the slower side. Five fish larger than 10 pounds were weighed in last week. All but one came from shore. Three came from Pelican. Rough conditions have kept a lot of boats off the water. Crosby’s Lodge (775) 476-0400 GUIDES: George Molino 775-476-0555 Cutthroat charters; Joe Mendes Eagle Eye Charters – 775-574-0900

Big cutts biting at Pyramid

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS
Wind has been dying off in the afternoon. Big fish of the week was a 19.12 pound cutt caught from a boat. Seventeen cutts larger than 10 pounds were weighed in last week, most were via boat or tube.

Sceirine Ranch Update

by WALKER RIVER OUTFITTERS
10/15/15: No big changes on the ranch. Flows are hovering around 20cfs and should remain at that level until next spring. You'll find fish eating small midges and BWO's in the pools. Streamers can move some fish as well. Be sure to keep your eyes open for redds as the browns begin to spawn later this month. RECOMMENDED FLIES: Glo Bug 14-16, Zebra Midge 18-22,

Good Fishing for Lake Trout

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Lake Tahoe is the place to be if you are fishing from a boat in northern Nevada. It may be one of the few places you still can launch a boat and catch a fish. Anglers have been reporting good success catching Mackinaw in the 3-5 pound range. Anglers are concentrating in the 150 – 300 feet with white dodgers and minnows. Kwikfish and broken

Pyramid bite wide open
