Things are firing up for a good Spring on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

We got lots of snow, sure you’ve heard, and now it’s all gotta melt. High’s could get into the 60’s this weekend in Truckee. Yahoooo! Look for the river to come up. My favorite time to fish is Spring on the Truckee RIver. The bigger the water, the better. People always ask, what’s your favorite time to fish the river Gill? Right now until about

Storms this past week have really put the LCT on the bite

by RENO FLY SHOP

Pyramid Lake– composed by RFS Guide Mike Anderson Storms this past week have really put the LCT on the bite. Larger fish have been caught in 8-11 feet on the indicator primarily with midges. The balanced leech bite has been waning recently but I would not count it out just yet. We have a week left of unsettled weather before we hit a high pressure system that

Bug life has changed a bit with the addition of our early spring hatch of Skwala stoneflies!

by RENO FLY SHOP

Truckee River– composed by RFS Guide Aden Breckner The Truckee River has experienced significant changes in flow, clarity, and water temperature over the last few weeks. Luckily these changes have really turned on the fishing throughout the system. Fish activity has increased quite a bit as compared to only a few weeks ago. Bug life has changed a bit with the addition of our early spring hatch

Pyramid Lake FIshing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Much to our chagrin, Pyramid Lake didn’t exactly get red hot this week as the storm pushed though, but it was still fishing better than the prior week’s when sunny, high-pressure days were present. We suspect that fishing will improve slowly, but steadily over the next few weeks, as we see the water temps rise along with the longer days of spring, initiating the cutthroat’s

The Truckee River is currently in great shape

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee River is currently in great shape after last week’s weather and is only about 50 CFS higher than it was pre-storm. This, in-and-of-itself, will do little to change the fishing. But the drop in water temps it brought with it will mix things up a bit compared to the sunny “false spring” conditions of last week. With the warmer days ahead, we should

Wild Horse Reservoir

South Fork Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The boat ramp is officially open and the dock is in the water. Shoreline anglers are having luck fishing on the southwest side of the lake, catching rainbow trout in the 15″-18” range, with a few brown trout in the mix. A worm 5′ under a bobber is the go-to for spin anglers, while fly anglers continue to have success with leech patterns.

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

Great river news this week! Our local angler, Gary Regan, came in to show us his catch. Gary's fish weighed in at 16.16 pounds and was 35 and 1/4 inches. He was fishing from his boat with his buddies Max and Belle. His companions quickly lent a hand, or paw, to help with the net and get this nice-sized striper on board. It was landed

March is here!

by PYRAMID LAKE FLY FISHING

March is here, the month that easily gets the most attention at Pyramid Lake and has for 50 years or more. March and April are the two months that Lahontan cutthroat Trout wake up from the winter and start to come alive. The next 4 months at Pyramid Lake are going to be awesome and some really big fish are going to end up in

The Rosachi section has been fishing very well with most of the anglers I’ve spoken with this past week doing great down there. There’s some good nymphing and I’ve also had a couple good reports with dries. The

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

This has been a strange year for Pyramid Lake as a whole, with some very tough days over the last month or more. The fishery is changing, and while there’s a lot of speculation why, there is no clear answer here. Our best guess is the changeover of the seemingly wiser Pilot Peak strain of Lahonton being stocked more than the Summit strain of years

The Truckee fished excellently last week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee fished excellently last week with daytime temps reaching the mid 50’s during the middle of the week. This will change starting today as we are slated to get 8-10 feet of snow over the next few days. Yes, you read that right, 8-10 feet. This storm will be a doozy. This would be a great time to stay inside and tie up a

Topaz Lake Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake is now within a few feet of being full. The Douglas County Park launch facility is open, with a little caution. The east dock is under water about a foot.

by RUSTY

Up on Lake Mohave, the fishing is holding up well for stripers. Our local angler, Raul Gonzalez, is showing off a superb catch he landed while fishing or trolling near the area just above the power lines. He was using a swimbait to catch these fish. The larger one weighed in at 17.72 pounds and measured 35 and 1/4 inches. I've been noticing that watching

As of now, the stormier days are definitely the best days to be fishing out here

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

While Pyramid continues to see better and better days with regularity, we are still a few weeks out from those spring pre-spawn conditions we all look forward to every year. As of now, the stormier days are definitely the best days to be fishing out here, and the sunny, calm days are mostly still a grind. With that said, this weekend is going to be

Truckee River Fishing Report

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

This week’s rain event made the Truckee come up 100-200 CFS on various sections of the river, and it has since stabilized. While it did go “chocolate milk” for a day, the proceeding days where epic as water cleared and flows dropped. One of the beautiful things about this river system is how fast it can drop back into shape, and often once it does,
