The lake has recently been planted by the NDOW with almost 6000 catchable rainbow trout. You have read my report for this area in the intro. I recommend not to fish the day after a full moon. But I will be out there this weekend if the "W" is stable enough. I won't be after the plant trout. I want those fish that were looking and laughing at us.

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.
