18 lb. Striped Bass

by RUSTY
Now that our weather is turning for the better I must say we have some river news. Our local angler Bryan Werkmeister and side kick Damien Howard (who helped get the smaller one in) was able to land a couple of nice size stripers. He was fishing from shore just above Rainbow Drive using an ac plug. The larger fish was 18.70 pounds at 35

The advertised peak of the season is here!

by PYRAMID LAKE FLY FISHING
The advertised peak of the season is here! We have already had an amazing start to the spring with a lot of really fishy days due to the never ending chain of storms. This spring should continue to be really good into at least early May from shore. The water temperatures are still at their winter lows and the forecast is for some colder weather

As predicted, this first week of March has been great

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
As predicted, this first week of March has been great, and this is quickly shaping up to be THE month to be out here. Where and when you fish this lake should determine your presentation and what bugs you use. With fish being found in a variety of water types and depths, this is the time of year where you can pick your preferred method

The big storm last week raised the flows and lowered the temps on the river

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The big storm last week raised the flows and lowered the temps on the river, but how does this affect the fishing? Well, not as much as you’d think. The fish still have to eat, and the bugs still have to hatch. We even saw a few dry fly eats this week as the midges really seemed to kick into gear along the entire river,

Pyramid Lake has been fishing well this month

by DOUG RODRICKS
Pyramid Lake has been fishing well this month. Most of the fish are being caught in 5 to 10 feet of water. A combination of stripping steamers and indicator fish has been the most productive. Smaller midges fished under the indicator in the #16-18 range have been the best.

Wow, pretty insane snow totals here for the the Tahoe area and the Truckee Rive

by MATT KOLES
Wow, pretty insane snow totals here for the the Tahoe area and the Truckee River. I really haven’t done any fishing. It’s been cold, like really cold, and I’ve been dealing with snow removal. Hard to keep up with it all sometimes.  One of the bigger dumps we’ve had here in Hirschdale. We’re at about 5.500 feet and we easily got 4 feet in 2 days.

Pyramid Lake Conditions

by PYRAMID FLY CO.
Ever watch that television series “Life Below Zero”? That’s exactly what it has been looking and feeling like out at Pyramid Lake. Maybe not quite below zero, but monstrous storms have churned up the lake from every direction and have the fish in a frenzy. We have seen it all; gale force winds, downdrafts, blowing snow, rain, big waves, and single track snowy roads on

With the storm system hanging around all week, Pyramid should continue to fish great

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
Last weekend (President’s day weekend), we saw some beautiful weather with warm, sunny days and not a breath of wind. This was one of the busiest weekends on the lake this year with very few people catching more than a fish or two… Ouch! Fast forward to later in the week and this latest storm pushing through, the lake is right back to fishing great,

Be sure to fish deep and use ample weight this time of year

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
While access may be a bit tougher this week here in California due to this current storm, the lower river east of Sparks will not get hit as bad by this weather and should continue to fish well. This last week we saw river temps down here reach 45 degrees and the BWO’s have certainly responded with some great mid-day hatches. While we expect those

Yep, it's me holding a couple of trout from last year's trout plant I was at Rotary Park and landed a couple of rainbow trout. I was fishing from shore using a panther martin spinner in a yellow and red spot and for the most part due to the weather, we are having trout are about the only fish out there that our anglers might
