The lake is open, and fishing has been reported as fair for rainbow and brook trout. Spinners or small gold Kastmasters are productive from shore, as are salmon eggs fished on the bottom. Parking and maneuvering space at the entrance is limited, so avoid bringing large trailers, as turning around can be difficult.

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.
