One of the Best Memorial Day Weekends Ever

Fishing at Squaw Creek Reservoir was by far plentiful this Memorial Day Weekend, and if you weren't there, you might have been the only one. For such a small desert reservoir, our traditional Memorial Day Weekend trip turned out to be one of the busiest we've ever seen in the past 7 years.

We all arrived Friday afternoon, only to find more than 40 campers and trailers pre-parked to join in the festivities of the three day holiday weekend..and what a weekend it was.

Friday evening, Saturday morning and Saturday late afternoon turned into some of the Best Fishing that this reservoir has ever produced for us. Smooth waters, warm temperatures, and out of the four of us that fished from a tube, we all caught an accumulative total of 85 fish -- and yes, all but 7 tasty morsels were caught and released.

Sinking line was the line of choice and the number one fly that caught the most fish in a row, was nothing more than a simple Bead Head Prince Nymph.

We hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day Weekend!

SMACK! Fishing at Pyramid gets a Little Too Close for Some of Us

I had to send everyone this photograph of a local area fisherman who takes a little more affection towards his Catch of the Day than most of us would. Thanks Brian for this great photo of you and your prize possesion from Pyramid Lake.

Mercury Levels Rise in 6 Nevada Waters

Be Aware
Fish species from Six Northern Nevada waters have been identified to have potential higher levels of mercury and should be consumed on a limited basis.

This doesn't mean that you shouldn't enjoy fishing at these Six Northern Nevada waters, it simply means to be smart.

The following information was posted on the Nevada Department of Wildlife's website and states -- "The health advisories recommend no consumption of fish from Lahontan Reservoir and the Carson River from Dayton downstream to the reservoir; no consumption of white bass from Little and Big Washoe Lake; no consumption of wipers and walleye and no more than one eight-ounce meal per week of any other fish from Rye Patch Reservoir; no consumption of walleye from Chimney Dam Reservoir; and no consumption of large mouth bass or northern pike from Comins Lake."
