Just a small example of our fly fishing waters for locals and visitors alike, include the West Walker and East Walker the Carson River East and West, the Owens River, Truckee River and lakes like Spooner, Indian Creek, Crater & Blue Lakes as well as trophy lakes like Heenan, and Pyramid Lake where giant cutthroat await... to hidden creeks and seldom visited high country lakes also found nearby.

Fly Fishing is our passion and we are THE full service dedicated fly shop serving the Tahoe, Eastern Sierra, northern Nevada and northern California areas. We have been nestled in Northern Nevada's Carson Valley since 1994.  The Valley is surrounded by the Eastern Sierra mountain range which provides an abundance of fantastic trout waters from high desert rivers to lofty alpine getaways.

 Winter Fishing Opportunities

1-10-2019:

PYRAMID LAKE :
Winter fishing has been pretty consistent with the 'Some days are Diamonds, some days are Coal', but over-all more good days than bad.  Now, good days, you'll get a few hits and a few on...  getting one of the monsters can happen.   Right now, a go to rig is a size 4 Black beaded Bugger and the pop-corn beetle in white and chartreuse on a full sink line.  The retrieve will vary from a 2" strip to a 1' strip, you just never know , give all kinds of varieties a try.  We do have a list of guides that we recommend, give us a call at the shop for more info.

The Eastern side and Dago's Bay will remain closed indefinitely .  You can get your licenses online at

Mono County and Alpine County Catch and Release waters remain open through the Winter and Nevada waters are available!
