Picking Up

This is a lake where fishing the edges caused by the inflow of water from the river and by wind coming

Fish are Biting

Jakes Creek Reservoir (Boies Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Plenty of open water for fishing though there is no report on how fishing is, but generally after ice out it can be spotty here with one day being good and the next slow. Worms or PowerBait are effective along with black and gold spinners. Fly rodders should be using chironomids, prince nymphs, hares ears, pheasant tail (PT) nymphs and wooly buggers in olive or

No News

Jiggs Reservoir (Zunino Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Thanks to the work done on Jiggs, the lake is holding water and is about a third full. Because it has been dry the past few years, there are currently no fish in the lake. NDOW is planning to stock it with trout sometime in April.

Good Fishing

Ruby Lake NWR

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Very little change here as fishing continues to be good and worth the long drive. Harrison Pass is still closed due to snow and probably will be for a while. Plan on using Secret Pass. The collection ditch is open and fishing has been very good using a variety of flies, spinners and lures. Anglers report days of 10 to 30 fish, often catching nice

Ring of Ice

Wild Horse Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Wild Horse is ice free south of the island off of the state park boat ramp. There is a ring of water around the edge and is fishable from shore. The wind is pushing the ice around which means that some shorelines will not be fishable as the ice is pushed towards it, while others are. The good news is that the winds are starting

Jiggs Reservoir (Zunino Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Construction on the reservoir is complete and the low pool area even held some water after the rains earlier in the summer. Pray for snow next winter to fill it and if this happens then NDOW will stock it with trout, largemouth bass and bluegill in the spring of 2016. It all depends on Mother Nature.

The lake level continues to come up, having risen two feet last week, and is now seven feet higher than last November.

Good Fishing

South Fork Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing has been fair to good depending upon the day. It seems to be best when there is a slight breeze putting a chop on the water. Anglers have had some success along Jet Ski Beach using prince nymphs and wooly buggers. Other small flies such as hares ears, soft hackles and chironomids should work from shore. The usual worms or PowerBait as well as
