Pyramid Lake has entered its transition period for anglers

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
Pyramid Lake has entered its transition period for anglers. With the lake flipped and surface temps dropping, we are seeing fish spread out through the entire water column. This will prove to be a difficult time to have a consistent day of fishing out here.    Once we continue to see water temps drop, maybe as soon as after this weekend’s storm, we will begin to see

Things on the Truckee are looking great this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
Things on the Truckee are looking great this week. Higher flows out of Donner Lake and Tahoe City have brought the Glenshire area up to 165 CFS, slightly above average for this time of year. Dry dropper or light indicator fishing would be a good bet here, but depending on how much precipitation we get out of this weekend’s storm, worms, stoneflies and eggs could

The flows are average for this time of year and the water clarity is clear

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
Current Water Conditions Truckee River flows are measuring around 76 CFS out of Tahoe City, 75 CFS through the town of Truckee, 168 CFS near Martis Creek, and 401 CFS at Farad. The flows are average for this time of year and the water clarity is clear. Glenshire to the stateline is the best section to fish with the flows higher in that area. Mornings and

As temperatures continue to cool, fish should gradually move into shallower water

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
The fishing season at Pyramid Lake is officially underway, with most fish currently holding deep in the thermocline around 70–80 feet. Boat anglers using downriggers are finding the most success, while jigging heavy spoons and tube jigs can also produce bites. Balanced leeches, balanced minnows, and heavy Woolly Worms are other effective options. Cloudy and stormy weather can provide better fishing opportunities as conditions change.

The lake has dropped again, but the county ramp is still open and very usable

by DOUG BUSEY / Carson Now
The lake has dropped again, but the county ramp is still open and very usable. Small boats use the center dock, while the taller boats use the right dock. Renee and I fished a few hours last week, with nine fish to the boat and lost about another 10. Rapalas were the ticket, and the early morning bite was on. After 1 or 2 p.m., the

Rainbow action has been doing well

by DOUG BUSEY / Carson Now
Not much Mac action to report this week. But the rainbow action has been doing well on the east side of the lake with a dodger and a nightcrawler. The rainbows have all been in the 16" range. For more information, go to Rubyjeancharters.com or call 775-233-5055.

The ranch is still fishing well

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
The ranch is still fishing well with good reports coming in on streamers as well as nymphs. Some fish being reported are up in the 24 to 25 inch range. Most anglers are having good days with 8 to 15 fish to the net. The calendar is getting pretty busy so if you want to book some time down there try to give us a

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY / Riviera Marina
Our local angler Theresa Richardson stopped in to share her catch of a nice striper from Rotary Park. This was a nice 10.6-pound striper measuring 32 1/2 inches. She was using anchovies while fishing from shore toward the downriver part of Rotary Park. We are getting a lot of smaller stripers, and they are running at all the best fishing spots you know. This time of year,
