Topaz Lake Fishing Report NEW

 Topaz Lake
by DOUG BUSEY / Carson Now
The lake level has continued to drop, which makes the fishing just a little better in my book. There are a few spots that can be difficult to fish when the water is high. Most trollers have been doing well with silver/black or perch F3 or F5 Rapalas while toplining. The old standby flashers have also been doing well with a threaded half a nightcrawler.

The kokanee bite is going strong on the south end of the lake NEW

 Lake Tahoe
by DOUG BUSEY / Carson Now
The kokanee bite is going strong on the south end of the lake. Many anglers have been getting limits of 12-inchers. The Mackinaw bite has also been doing well near the Camp Richardson area and around Taylor Creek, mainly because the fish are chasing the schools of kokanee. I would throw a rubber or spider jig right into the middle of the schools. For more

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

 Colorado River - Laughlin
by RUSTY / Riviera Marina
We have some great river news! Our local angler, Dawn Leclerc, was fishing from shore at Rotary Park and landed these stripers using anchovies. These are the type of fish you can expect to find in our area. Below Davis Dam, the limit is 10 stripers, with no size limit. Up on Lake Mohave, there is no limit on the number of stripers an angler can catch

Fall is here, at least on the Truckee River

 Truckee River
by MATT KOLES / Gilligan's Fly Service
Fall is here, at least on the Truckee River. Colder overnight lows, and mild afternoons. Fishing has been very good for the most part. Smaller mayfly nymphs, caddis, baby crayfish, and smaller golden stones, are all good nymphing. You will not see any dry fly action unless you get a good cloudy, rainy type day. Fall is the time for blue wings though. You may light

The Truckee saw a drop in flows out of Lake Tahoe this week, going from 300 CFS down to 100

 Truckee River
by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The Truckee saw a drop in flows out of Lake Tahoe this week, going from 300 CFS down to 100. They have offset this with increased flows out of Boca, and the Farad gauge is still holding right at 500 CFS. This is typical flow regime for this time of year as the rafting along Highway 89 winds to a close. Because of this, the

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

 Lake Mohave
by RUSTY / Riviera Marina
Our local angler, Steve Beasley, was out fishing up on Lake Mohave and landed a great striper while trolling near the power lines with a striper jig similar to a bucktail jig. The fish weighed in at 12.92 pounds and measured 35 inches in length. Nice catch, especially during a crowded weekend! The river is still producing some nice catches, mostly in the 2- to 4-pound

The Truckee fished well this week

 Truckee River
by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
The Truckee fished well this week. Water temps have dropped substantially, and we can now fish all day without water temps hitting 68 degrees in most sections of river. However, we would still recommend avoiding the lower river (I.E. east of Sparks) for now. With the cooler water temps, we have seen fish move around a bit this week and we were catching fish in
