Pyramid Lake

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS

The shore bite at Pyramid remains surprisingly consistent for Mid-November, as the fish are found in close and at depths of 8-12 feet throughout the day. The early-to-mid-morning bite has been the most reliable. The catch rate seems to slow most days from around 1:00pm to 3:00pm, and bite will generally pick up again from the late afternoon into the evening. The fish appear to

Truckee River

The Truckee has seen very little changes in conditions once again this week and both flows and water temps remain consistent at the Farad USGS gauge.

Early this month, we’ve seen an increase in flows along Glenshire as

Shore fishing at the lake has really picked up

Pyramid Lake

by RENO FLY SHOP

Shore fishing at the lake has really picked up. Most days stripping flies has been the most productive but the indicator bite has been on and balanced leeches and baitfish under the indicator can put fish in the net. The surface water temp should continue to drop with the changing season. This should disperse the baitfish near surface and push them deeper. It is possible to

Truckee River

by RENO FLY SHOP

The Truckee is in fantastic shape through both Nevada and California. It seems flows have fully stabilized on the NV side following irrigation diversions and we now have settled into flow profiles that will remain until winter storms begin.

In our waters, it's observed that the rainbow trout or white pattern tends to be

Bruneau River

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Flows are starting to pick up with cooling temperatures. As of 11/13 the Bruneau River at the Rowland gage is showing 16.9 cfs. Water temps are also seeing a steady decline. This should keep trout fishing fair to good until winter weather cuts off access.

Dude...You're Down!

Pyramid Lake

by PYRAMID FLY CO.

After a fun but unique October, colder weather and dropping water temps are finally here! And why are we so excited? Because it means colder water temps that are bringing the fish closer to the shoreline. It also means "Ditch the boat, get a ladder", or you can stand on shore. It's time, now until late April. I'm sorry to say but it's hard to pick
