South Fork Reservoir Report

South Fork Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

As of 02/01/24 South Fork has around 80% open 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.

Doubles and Triples Galore

Pyramid Lake

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

January is always a mixed bag when it comes to Pyramid Lake. Traditionally, it can be a frigid month with the catching action matching the weather; cold and unforgiving. This January didn’t disappoint, and even though we had a handful of slow days, they were easily justified by the days where the lake gave up the trout. The tail end of January provided some fantastic days.

Pyramid Lake Fishing Report

Pyramid Lake

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

We expect to see this storm cycle will really help to turn the bite on at Pyramid this week. We are seeing low barometric pressure, overcast skies, just a touch of wind every day, and a good moon phase. These factors that we look at when we forecast the fishing out here help us make predictions on the fishing along with other things like water

This week’s abnormally warm weather made for some excellent fishing on the Truckee

Truckee River

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

This week’s abnormally warm weather made for some excellent fishing on the Truckee. We are lucky to still have great flows thanks to last year’s big winter, and the river has been in excellent shape. We have been getting a fair amount of phone calls about water clarity on the Truckee over the last week or two, and we think a big part of this

The lake level is high

Topaz Lake

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake level is high. The Douglas County park is open for camping. The boat ramp is open, but I would advise deeper boats on the east side and smaller on the west. The middle ramp was submerged last week. Fishing was slow for the first hour or so. I had to do some traveling to find the fish. The west side was most productive

Pyramid Lake continues to fish better and better

Pyramid Lake

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

Pyramid Lake continues to fish better and better, and while these storms may not really help the long-term snowpack on the Pacific Crest, it has definitely helped the short-term fishing out here. These smaller and warmer storms have also helped to keep the fishing conditions out here a bit more tolerable, especially compared to this time last year. However, we expect the fishing will slow

The Truckee has seen a serious rise in water temperatures this week with the recent rain

Truckee River

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The Truckee has seen a serious rise in water temperatures this week with the recent rain. We saw the river hit 42 degrees early this week, a pretty serious change from the 32-degree lows seen in the middle of the month. This is due more so to the rain than ambient temperatures. It has additionally lowered water clarity a bit as well, turning the color

The lake has been fishing well with a lot of quality fish!

Pyramid Lake

by RENO FLY SHOP

Pyramid Lake Report Section by Mike Anderson Pyramid Lake may start fishing well earlier than we’re used to, and here’s why. El Niño years are typically warm and wet. On a typical season at Pyramid Lake, one of the factors that makes fishing better in the spring is the warming of the water as days get longer. With an El Niño year water temps rarely drop

The dry fly fishing has gained momentum in the last week or two

Truckee River

With temperatures rising throughout the day, early morning has not been particularly productive. Around 10-11 am, fish activity has increased and the fishing has been much better. Nymph fishing has been best
