Striped Bass
Finding striped bass near Reno, Nevada, means heading to Pyramid Lake or Lahontan Reservoir. While Pyramid is more famous for its giant Lahontan cutthroat trout, Lahontan Reservoir offers a more consistent striper fishery. Spring and fall are the prime times to target them, as they follow baitfish schools. Focus on areas with submerged structure or near the dam. Trolling with crankbaits or using live bait are effective methods. Water levels in Lahontan can fluctuate significantly, so check conditions before you go. Also, be aware of the wind; it can pick up quickly on the open water. The Silver Springs Beach area provides good access. Remember that Nevada fishing licenses are required, and specific regulations may apply to Lahontan Reservoir, so check the Nevada Department of Wildlife website before your trip.
