Fishing has improved slightly during the early morning hours. Once the jet skiers and recreational boaters arrive, the bite tends to slow down.

Remember the rules of boating: reduce your speed to a no-wake zone when within 100 to 200 feet of a swimming area, beach, or moored vessel. If your wake causes damage, you can be held liable. Let’s all stay safe on the water.

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.
