Fishing Report 07/15/17:  So, it’s not the most epic report, but since things have been so frozen, flooded and all around crappy, we’re finally seeing some light at the end of a very heavy Winter. Reports will be improving as the rivers improve. But at least you can get an idea of where things stand. A few things: If you have a smart phone, we're suggesting that

Spoke this morning to the Tribal Office of Pyramid Lake, and rumors and hearsay about opening soon, are false. NDOT is working on the roads and they are pretty bad. With the incoming storm, even this is causing a delay, of course. The tribe is still looking at 5 - 6 weeks before reopening. We'll keep updating as we check in with them and hear

Please still carry a thermometer if you are going to be doing any Catch and Release. Have you looked closely at the trees around the Valley? See those bits of yellow? Wondering each day if Fall is going to arrive a bit sooner this year. It would be great to see some cooler temps for a few weeks, and then after the throngs

The heat is on!!! So here's the gist..GET A THERMOMETER if you are going to be doing any Catch and Release! Some great conversations this week with people with questions and comments on water temps, some on stillwater, some on moving water, some even on aquariums!
