Topaz Lake

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake is still at a high level, the highest I have seen in a long time for this time of year. Fishing has been slow and a little tough. Trollers, you need to be on the water at 5am and start fishing shallows and work your way into deeper waters by 9 to 10 am. I would recommend the deep drop off on the

Topaz Lake

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake level is the highest it has been in years. Early morning fishing on the south end where the drop off goes east and west has been successful for anglers with blades and a crawler, or pulling a Rapala right off the bottom. But be careful of the willows that are on top of the shoal. Shore anglers have been using salmon peach or

Toplining for large rainbow and brown trout has also been productive in shallower water

Lake Tahoe

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Shore anglers are using smaller spinners for planted trout and larger spoons diving plugs for larger rainbows and browns. Toplining for large rainbow and brown trout has also been productive in shallower water (less than 50 feet in depth) but will start to change as we summer set in finally. Fishing has been productive all day but will likely shift to early and late with

Trolling has been good to very good on the north

Topaz Lake

by DOUG BUSEY

The lake level has fluctuated a foot or two. The fishing has still been fair from shore for anglers using powerbait or mini nightcrawlers. Trolling has been good to very good on the north and north west side with Needlefish or Rapalas. Flashers and worms have also been productive for catchable rainbows. Boaters beware of floating debris on the lake. The Douglas County campground is
