The lake has a lot of algae along the shore. If you don't mind cleaning some weeds off every cast, you will catch some nice fish.

But here again, the water temperature was about 75 degrees, and the fish are mostly out in the deeper water. I would suggest fishing off the dam, but watch your step out there.

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.
