Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY / Riviera Marina
Our local angler and friend, Mike Merritt, recently landed a limit of striped bass. Fishing from an island and using anchovies as bait, Mike put together an impressive stringer of fish. These smaller-sized stripers are easy to clean and make excellent fish tacos, along with plenty of other great meals. There are many productive spots for striper fishing below Davis Dam on the Colorado River, and

Conditions have changed quickly

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The conditions have changed quickly here on the Truckee as the releases out of the reservoirs taper off and we see flows settle into their average range. In Glenshire, we are looking at 375 CFS this week, which is near perfect for this section of river, especially as water temps rise and the fish nose up into pocket water, of which there is an abundance

2.6-pound Bluegill

by RUSTY / Riviera Marina
Now that's a nice panfish! This beauty was brought in by local angler Patrick Pauli. I'm confident it's a bluegill, although it looks similar to the redear sunfish we see in our waters. Patrick was using a small spinner when he landed this impressive 2.6-pound bluegill, measuring 14 5/8 inches in length. It could even be a Nevada state record! He caught it in the Back

Summer is here on the Truckee River.  Flows have come down to just around normal. Around 650 cfs, here in Hirschdale. About the same all the way down river, and lower some up river. Lots of miles of Truckee River to fish right now. California, Nevada pick your poison.  This is when you look for middle slots, chutes, seams, etc. Trouts will push into the middle of

The bite is beginning to improve

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
Pyramid Lake is currently full, and the boat launch remains open. As fish wrap up their spawning cycle, the bite is beginning to improve with warming weather conditions. Most anglers are finding the best success from float tubes, kayaks, or boats while fishing depths between 30 and 50 feet. Productive offerings have included Pyramid-style jigs, Sierra Spoons, midges, balanced leeches, and various hookup baits.

Mackinaw fishing has been great!

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
At Lake Tahoe, mackinaw fishing has been great. Anglers can find mackinaw around 200 feet deep. For trout fishing, fishing from a boat or shore has been successful early morning or at last light of the day. Water temperatures are around 50 degrees.
