Yes. I am in Reno. We mostly go to pyramid. It's alkaline, so you need to do some extra maintenance, and the ramp totally sucks, but the water really cannot be beat. Even on a holiday weekend if the weather is right, you can get flat water.
Aside from pyramid, when there's water, lahontan can be pretty decent.
Bullards Bar is about 2 hours away. The tow there sucks (over sierra then on very twisty mountain roads), but on the right day it's great.
Many Reno people weekend at almanor. I hate almanor. The water is never ever good there.
We never do the mountain lakes (tahoe/donner/boca/stampede) because they're colder.
Frenchmans is close but it's pretty tiny.
