The Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) reports that river flows are excellent, and fishing conditions are currently great. The river is flowing steadily at around 300 cfs and has been stable for some time. Stocked Lahontan Cutthroat Trout have been reported around parks in town and to the west. Water temperatures are ideal, with fish scattered throughout. Small spinners and spoons are performing well, especially in deeper areas. There have been some late afternoon mayfly hatches, which are expected to increase as winter approaches. Fishing should remain good until extreme cold weather sets in.
Stampede continues to churn out excellent kokanee fishing for fish up to 14 inches. Ideal trolling depths have been getting deeper as the weather warms; right now, between 45-60 feet is the sweet spot. Limits are assumed, although there are a lot of small fish. Folks are hoping these fish can add a couple of inches over the next few months.
Snow has melted and Stampede is finally open to the public. Kokanee action is kicking off nicely, although mostly for smaller fish (inline with the end of last year). Late last fall, anglers were hoping these kokanee would grow over winter, but no evidence of that yet. Nothing over 14 inches.
