The lake level is slowly rising at about 3-6 inches a week

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake level is slowly rising at about 3-6 inches a week. The Douglas County boat ramp is open and has only the middle dock in right now. Use a little patience and courtesy launching and coming back in. Shore angling was slow this last week. Most anglers were fishing the south end with powerbait or night crawlers. Trollers were using flashers and worms or

Wildhorse update: The ice was 8-12” thick where we were at. Stay clear of the main boat ramp and a few points where there are still pockets of open water. Perch are starting to make a comeback and holding in deeper water. Trout are hanging out in shallow water anywhere from 5-10”.

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

Local angler Dale Scott recently landed a nice striper at Rotary Park, along with a rainbow trout, while fishing from shore using anchovies. It's not very common, but our local rainbow trout will bite on anchovies now and then. The striper weighed 4.82 pounds and measured 23 ¾ inches. So far, Community Park is holding up well despite the winds. Anglers are still able to catch

East Walker River Report

East Walker River (NV)

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF

Haven’t really talked to anyone who’s been hitting up the Rosachi, or the Sceirine lately, so I don’t really have much to report. If you’re heading down there I would expect the best time of the day to be from about 10am to 3pm or so because of the colder temperatures. The last couple anglers I did talk to had the best luck with streamers

Cold nights, warm afternoons on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Cold nights, warm afternoons on the Truckee River. Upper teens in Truckee at night, 40's in the afternoons. Lets look at that.. When it's really cold at night, that's really going to lower the water temps. That will put the fish in the very slow water, frog water as we like to say. You will have to poke them in the nose with your flies. I would

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by RENO FLY SHOP

As is true with most January’s, indicator fishing has been the most effective way to target the LCT. The trout have been moving a lot recently making them a little harder to pin down, and they may not be where you have been fishing the last few weeks, at least not in great numbers. I’ve been targeting beaches with a drop off around 11-14 feet,

The Truckee River has fished well in the last few weeks

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee River has fished well in the last few weeks as flows have stabilized after a storm in late December. With clear skies and moderate weather in the forecast, we expect to see good fishing conditions continue. The annual hatch of Blue Winged Olives should begin any day now as we patiently wait. Nymph fishing has been productive throughout the river with many anglers focusing

Best fishing we have seen out here

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

We have finally seen Pyramid slow down after 2+ months of some of the best fishing we have seen out here. While this is probably from multiple factors, the big ones would likely be due to the time of year and the lack of weather. Is there still a chance of having an epic day of catching out here this week? Absolutely, but odds are

Great conditions on the river right now

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

We are seeing great conditions on the river right now, with ideal flows along most sections, water temps in the low 40’s to upper 30’s and active fish. Here in town, we are continuing to see good shots at dry fly fishing around Glenshire Drive using baetis and midges mid-day, as well as good nymphing when hatches aren’t present. The canyon section of the Truckee will have

Ice is unsafe on both the north and south lakes. The reservoir has a combination of open water and poor ice. There is limited shoreline access. If anglers attempt to fish the open water from shore, a mix of spinners, nightcrawlers, PowerBait, and a fly behind a bubble should catch fish. Trout from 8 inches to 18 inches are being caught. Comins received 10,043 rainbow trout

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY

With the current winds, fishing has been a bit slow. Our visiting anglers were recently out trolling on Lake Mohave. Steve Berczik and Les Kern managed to land a nice 7.46-pound striper measuring 27.5 inches. They were fishing on the Nevada side, just past the power lines. Reports from the Basin area indicate that trolling with an umbrella rig has been productive, while near the dam

First report of 2025 on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

First report of 2025 on the Truckee River. Been doing this blog since about 2007? I don't know where all the years have gone. The Truckee River is in great shape, mid-Winter. Pretty much snow free all up and down the river. We've had a lot of warm storms, as it's only been snowing high, not river level. Same old same, nymph 'em, streamer fish 'em on
