The Truckee River has seen stable flows but rising water temps this week NEW

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The Truckee River has seen stable flows but rising water temps this week. Anyone looking to fish the T should do so in the morning hours. How late in the day you can fish will depend on the section of river, with the Glenshire area warming quicker than down in the canyon, due to the Little Truckee confluence providing a bit of cold water relief.

Typical Summer fly fishing on the Truckee River NEW

by MATT KOLES / Gilligan's Fly Service
Cool mornings, hot and windy afternoons. Blue bird sun all day, (except the last few days  of thunderstorms remnants from the monsoons in the 4 corners area).  Fishing is good if we get out in the mornings and nymph the pocket water. If you can wade around in the river, you're going to do much better than someone that can't. It's that simple.  Euro rigs usually reign

The ranch is still fishing well

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
The ranch is still fishing well with mostly good reports coming in from up there. As with the Cali side the water temps are getting up there in the afternoon so it's best to work it for a half day in the morning or evening for now. A full day booking is still good as you can fish the morning then take a break for

Topaz Lake Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY / Carson Now
I fished the lake this week. Started at 5:30 a.m. and ended at noon. I had plenty of hits and plenty of fish right up to the boat, but that's what we call a short-distance release. All of the fish were suspended in 8 to 15 feet of water. I used my lead line with an F5 Hot Steel pattern and an F7 jointed perch-colored Rapala. These two

Fishing has been best up on the north end for mackinaws

by DOUG BUSEY / Carson Now
Fishing has been best up on the north end for mackinaws around the McKinney Bay area or Dollar Point. Keep an eye on your depth finder. There are some sharp ledges up there, but that is what holds the fish in the area. A dodger and a live minnow in 150 to 200 feet of water has been the ticket. Some anglers have been doing well

Lots of good looking rainbows

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
Current Water Conditions Flows measuring 269 CFS out of Tahoe City, 270 CFS through the town of Truckee, 313 CFS through the Glenshire area, and 573 CFS near Farad. Water temperatures are starting to increase with the warmer weather pattern the area is seeing. Because of that, early mornings are the best times to fish. With water temperatures increasing, bring a thermometer to test the temperature

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY / Riviera Marina
This is a great example of a successful catch-and-release fishing experience! Local angler Matt Felder was fishing from shore when he landed an impressive 43-inch striped bass. He had been targeting smaller stripers with anchovies and was catching fish in the 1- to 3-pound range. As I've mentioned before, fishing with anchovies usually produces the smaller stripers, which make excellent table fare. Every now and then,

Trout fishing is good in the early mornings and late evenings

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Rainbow trout, brown trout, tiger trout and wiper were stocked this spring. Trout fishing is good in the early mornings and late evenings, with most catches measuring 12″-18″ and several over 20″. Nymphs under and indicator and dry fly patterns are preferred with warming temperatures. Spin casters will have luck floating PowerBait or worms just off the bottom. Bass fishing is good, with fish hanging

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY / Riviera Marina
I had to dig this one up since the fishing has slowed down a bit. This was on the billboard at the end of town by the Laughlin Bridge. It's me holding a fish with Allen Cole, who was inducted into the Fishing Hall of Fame for his AC Plug and his outstanding fishing accomplishments. This is one of the larger stripers he landed, weighing

The pond has reopened and has been stocked with trout this season

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The pond has reopened and has been stocked with trout this season. Pink floating power worms fished off the bottom are a favorite at Davis. Small dry flies can be fun fishing early and late in the day.
