Tough Overall

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS

As the winter starts to set in and water temperatures continue to drop at Pyramid it will bring some changes to fishing the lake. Fishing over the past couple of weeks has been pretty tough overall. There have been some really big fish caught on almost a daily basis but it is a long time between grabs. The last few days have shown some promise

Low but Fishable

by RENO FLY FISHING OUTFITTERS

The Truckee is still very low but fishable for sure. There are two main sections that seem to be fishing fairly well right now. The canyon section in California and the stretch of river East of Reno. The good news is there have been some fish caught which means that we did not lose all the fish this summer to extreme water temperatures and low

Good Quality Right Now

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Continues to fish well, especially for those who have boats! Now down to 15-30 fish days for some and the size of the Cutthroats are still good. This time of year it's better to get out prior to a High Pressure system moving in, that means windy with or without precip is ideal. Best when wind is coming at you as opposed

Still to Low

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Trout Creek to Stateline is barbless flies and lures only. No beat or scented lures. Catch & Release Only. Please remember that 1,000 feet below Tahoe City to Trout Creek is CLOSED to fishing. The recent flows are as follows: Glenside 18.5 CFS, Prosser 22 CPS, Boca 98 CFS, and Farad 111 CFS. The water temps are between 34-38

Best to Stay Away for Now

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Not sure what to say as temps below the Boca outflow are cold for the trout and with flows at 88 and 96 cfs respectively, it's entirely up to you. My stance is I wouldn't fish but that's me. If you do fish the main river just be cognizant not to fish spawning Browns off their beds. The DFW doesn't stock Browns

Big Salty Lake Update

by TAHOE FLY FISHING STAFF

And of course that big salty lake in the dessert is always worth a go. Look for those windy gnarly days, you know those days when you look outside and think “no I don’t think I wanna go fish today”. That’s the day you wanna go to Pyramid. We have had some great days out there this fall and looking forward to great winter!

Excellent Fishing

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

The fishing at Pyramid Lake has been excellent from shore. The bite should continue to be very good in this unsettled weather.

Still Low

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

The Truckee River is still low. We the recent storms we say the water level rise but it has fallen back down again. Nymphing is the ticket right now. It is supposed to starting snowing at anytime. We are expecting up to one foot in Truckee from this storm.

Quanity Down Quality Up

by MATT KOLES

Pyramid Lake has been good. Sure, I’ve had some shitty days out at the lake, but if you can stay until dark even on those slow days you should get some grabs. Cloud cover and wind are your friend, but it is winter now at the lake and the quantity will drop, but the quality will go up. You just have to man up, brace

El Nino Storms could create Great Winter Fishing

by MATT KOLES

The Truckee River has been very cold, low flows, and massive anchor ice forming. It has not been a good week to fish the river. With the low flows and extremely low air temps this last week, anchor ice has formed on almost it’s entire length. That was the coldest we’ve been since ’13. It was -14 here in the Hirsch. Now it is warming

Truckee River Update

by TAHOE FLY FISHING STAFF

This past week has been cold to say the least. With temps in the teens to single digits, winter is here and the crowds are lacking. At least on the water. With the ski season gearing up for most means the fishing season is quieting down for the seasonal crowd around here. But that doesn’t mean the fish are taking

Cutt bite takes off at Pyramid

by NOR CAL FISH REPORTS

Bite took off mid-week. Stormy weather has been a big help. Shore anglers are doing best. Both spinning and fly fishing account for action. Monument and Blockhouse are good spots to try.

It's Cold!

by MATT KOLES

A very cold arctic air mass has swept down and blanketed all of Truckee-Reno-and Lake Tahoe with very cold temps. We picked up almost a foot of snow here in the Hirsch, and upwards of 2 feet on top. Honestly, here in Hirschdale we have not had a storm like this since ’11. I actually used the snowblower on this one. Pyramid Lake is where
