Wild Horse Reservoir

The road was very muddy though with the colder temperatures is probably frozen in the morning. Expect afternoons to soften the road and 4WD will probably be required. No recent report of ice conditions here, but this lake is generally not far behind South Fork for losing safe ice so there should be open water and if there is any ice left

South Fork Reservoir Fishing Report

South Fork Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

As of Thursday, this lake was ice free! Anglers have caught fish using PowerBait or worms and fly fishermen have had luck with disco balls, chironomids and hares ears. The trick is to not fish to far from shore as the fish are moving into the shallower warmer water and to use very small presentations. The county road is severely pot

Willow Creek Reservoir Fishing Report

Willow Creek Reservoir

by ARIZONA GAME & FISH DEPARTMENT

Largemouth bass are the predominant species. Shore fishing is difficult due to the aquatic vegetation although the cold temperatures have helped cleared some of that mess. Try top water baits so you can eliminate some of the snagging. If you are in a boat or float tube you can always retrieve your baits without too much difficulty. Try drop shots from shore also. If you

Water through the ditch has increased flows especially along Brown

Wild Horse Reservoir Fishing Report

Wild Horse Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Surface water temperature is in the 30’s and the lake has frozen over once so far last weekend, but the winds broke up much of the ice. There is ice in the coves and at the south end with sheets of ice being blown around the open lake as of mid-week. With the unusual warm temperatures and rain, ice won’t be building this weekend, but

Wilson Reservoir Fishing Report

Wilson Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

With the recent precipitation, expect the road to be 4WD only and travel isn’t recommended. No recent report, but conditions are generally the same as at South Fork. If you do head in this direction for some chukar hunting, you may find some open water to wet a line. Use the same patterns and techniques as at South Fork.

South Fork Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

There is ice in the coves and the south end of the lake but still some shoreline with open water to fish. The warm weather and even some rain here this week, is keeping the lake from freezing over. It looks like Sunday, December 11, will be the best day for fishing for the next 10 days as we are in a very wet cycle
