Both roads are open. I have fished it a few times with bait and lures with no luck. I have seen one angler that takes his small aluminum boat down and trolls with flashers and a worm. He does fairly well. Also a few float tubers have been out having decent luck. I personally will not take my boat down that long bumpy dirt road.

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.
