Fish Reports

Chris and Jeri Grellman of Sparks of Hog Charters (358-5199): Fishing has been slow and not really sure why as October should be one of the better months. ?Į

Jim Hartfiel of Just Rite Fishing at Pyramid Lake at (775) 575-7850 (home) or (775) 813-3411 (Cell): Just like Chris said: Fish is slow and no one really knows why.

Todd Sodaro and Chad Machado of the Carson River Resort (877-694-2229): Fishing is still doing good. The water is the same as it has been for the last two months. They are catching 9-14 inch rainbows. Saturday, a lady fishing the "Catch and Release" section caught 10 rainbows, up to 20 inches, on a red bodied Copper John. Gene Longoria of Stockton caught a 3.5

The river is super low and clear. It is virtually a trickle. ?Į

Missy Swain and Shirley at Burke's Market at Silver Springs (775-577-2750): Same as before: We advise you not to launch a boat, and encourage you to fish from shore. The water is so low, the reservoir looks more like a stream. The fishing is phenomenal and going like "Gang Busters."?Į

Dennis Dunn, Mark, Rocket and Scott at the Wild Horse Resort (775) 758-6472: Not many fishermen but the fishing is fair to good. A lot of 2-4 pound trout have been coming in. There are lots of nice perch. Remember that the fall is the hot period for fishing. NDOW has been stocking heavily.

Gene St. Denis: I've been fishing 50-200 feet deep at Ski Run Shelf and Camp Richardson. Trolling with silver Herring Dodger flasher blades and minnows. Bouncing off the bottom in a serpentine pattern. Macks are small, 2-7 pounds.

Gene St. Denis of Blue Ribbon Charters and Tahoe Trophy Trout at South Lake Tahoe, Calif. (530-544-6552): The wind came up today (Tuesday) and it is howling. The fishing has been very good to excellent. Limits for everyone. Largest was 12 pounds. We have been trolling 50-240 feet deep. We locate the fish on the fish finder and then troll in a "Figure Eight" pattern,

Chris and Jeri Grellman of Sparks of Hog Charters (358-5199): Chris was super sick for 9 straight days and we did not get out fishing. He is much better and we will be back out soon. He is going to be the guest speaker at the Ormsby Sportsmen's Association meeting in Carson City on Oct. 16.

Tim Wilson of the Pyramid Lake Marina and RV Park at (775) 476-1156: We still have wind but it is not as bad as it was. It has been creating havoc with the fishermen, especially the boaters. Lot of fish are being caught in the slot limit. The boaters are going deep (80-120 feet) and also catching fish at 40-50 feet. They are using the

George and Carla Molino of the Pyramid Lake Store at (775) 476-0555: George (Cutthroat Charters) has been going out almost every day. The weather has been miserable or slightly miserable. Yesterday, the weather was fair but there was a south wind. Most people have been catching a couple of fish. If you catch 6, you are doing good. If you catch 9, you are doing

Valerie, Linda and Patsy at Crosby's Lodge at (775) 476-0400: The biggest fish of the week was an 8-pound, 6-ounce (28 inches) Cutthroat caught by Jeff Morris of Reno. He was in a boat at Pelican Point. The wind has been a problem but it is not bad today (Monday).

Todd Sodaro and Chad Machado of the Carson River Resort (877-694-2229): Fishing is still doing good. Lots of pan fryers but no big fish. The water is the same as it has been for the last two months. We are staying open through the winter due to the year-round season on the section below Hangman's Bridge.

Missy Swain and Shirley at Burke's Market at Silver Springs (775-577-2750): Same as last week: We advise you not to launch a boat, and encourage you to fish from shore over by the dam.

Dennis Dunn, Mark, Rocket and Scott at the Wild Horse Resort (775) 758-6472: The weather is beautiful, it is 50 degrees (Monday morning). We have not had a lot of fishermen but they are catching trout and they are football size. NDOW has been restocking the reservoir. When we had that fish die off, it did not affect the Rainbows, Perch, Channel Catfish and Bass.

Fishing has picked up and so has the catching. A pair of Las Vegas anglers recently pulled in 12 fish in just a couple of hours ??? eight largemouth bass and four rainbow trout. All fish were caught on spinner baits.

Windy conditions have slowed fishing activity at Willow Beach. Trout fishing has been sluggish though persistent anglers have caught a few fish. Other fishermen managed to reel in catfish, carp and some striped bass while fishing downstream from Willow Beach. At Cottonwood Cove, anglers are finding improved fishing over recent weeks. Both shoreline and boat anglers have been catching fish during all hours of the

Threadfin shad have moved close enough to shore that anglers can catch them or reach trailing stripers with surface lures and other baits. Anglers continue to reel in small striped bass from the Vegas Wash area. Recent winds have made fishing a little tough, but determined anglers are catching fish. Trout plants should begin sometime in mid- to late November with fish coming primarily from
