I would recommend getting out there early and either have a canopy on your boat or find a shade tree. It gets HOT out there. But the fishing has been good. A fellow angler and a friend of mine fished out there last week and caught 7 walleye, 7 crappie, 5 white bass,3 yellow perch and on 32 inch long channel catfish. Now not to be out done by his better half, his wife caught and released a nice 20 inch walleye. There is a wide variety of fish in the lake for every taste in fishing. You just need to deal with a little heat.

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.
