Bobber fishing out fished the strip bite again this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

While fishing on the Truckee slows as the temp’s plummet, Pyramid Lake is seeing the opposite effect and the colder days have caused the bite to really pick up. These stormy, overcast days will keep fish in close to the drop offs all day, keeping rods bent with more consistency. Bobber fishing out fished the strip bite again this week, especially around mid-day. Low light

Flows remain stable on the Truckee

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

While flows remain stable on the Truckee, the water temps have dropped this week, pushing fish into slow runs. The trout will be a bit less willing to move on your flies this week, and you will need to really bump them in the nose to get some love. This is a great time to begin fishing a high protein meal such as a worm

December Brings The Cold, Our Team Brings The Heat

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

Well, it’s easy to exaggerate when it comes to fishing. I mean, that is the everlasting stigma that has been attached to all fisherman types by society. Whereas this may be true for most of the fishing world, here at Pyramid Fly Co. there is no exaggeration when it comes to what we put on the table. We fish for the largest cutthroat trout in

A Wave of Emotion

by ROBYN GERSTENSLAGER

Banner day for one biologist, population of Lahontan cutthroat trout provides hope, but more ‘tenacity’ needed to recover species Even over a year later, tears well up in his eyes when he talks about it. The “wave of emotion,” as he describes it, is understandable given that the moment was 15 years in the making. “Even last summer when I took my son and his friend

Winter fly fishing on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Cold kinda all up and down the river. At least this week. Waiting for El Niño to kick in. Big warm storms and a big river, love the stuff. Right now she’s cold. Look for slow walking pace water, 2-5 feet deep. You’ll always get a feeding window sometime during the day, no matter how cold it is. No ice or anything like that, and in

The fishing at Pyramid Lake is beginning to settle in to a familiar rhythm. The bite will be steady one day and a grind the next.

Presentation and fly selection matter more this time of the year

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

There are still fish holding all along Glenshire, and quality fishing opportunities to be had all the way down through the lower river, and past Reno. Egg patterns and small bugs such as midges and BWO are the primary forage for now.

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

This week has been a bit slow due to low water levels, wind, and the holiday week. There isn't much to report, but I've heard of a few stripers being caught in the Rotary Park area in the evening. They've mostly been on the smaller side. To break the monotony, I managed to reel in a nice panfish and a largemouth bass in the Laughlin
