The lake last reported was 5-8 inches thick with some snow on top. The parking area behind the dam is usually accessible thanks to Cal/Trans. Small Kastmasters or a half a nightcrawler has been most productive. I will be having an ice fishing get together with friends in early February. All are invited to come and see we ice fish. If you need a hole drilled, we can do that as well.

Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to nevada@fishreports.com. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
