Wilson Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Little or no change here as bass fishing continues to be fair to good and trout fishing is fair, though anglers are catching trout. For bass, rubber gear in either very dark or very bright colors is the ticket as well as crank baits. Trout and bass have been mostly active in the early morning or late evening. Fly rodders should try damsel patterns, mayflies,

Angel Lake Fish Report 08-29-07

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The lake level has dropped quite a bit, though there is no recent report on fishing conditions. However, this time of year fishing in early morning before the wind picks up appears to be the best. Damsels, mayflies, midge patterns and small wooly buggers all work. Flies such as humpies, royal Wulffs and Kaufmann stimulators may make for some good surface action.

Wilson Reservoir

Bass fishing has been good, especially along the rocky shore on the north side of the lake. Rubber gear in either very dark or very bright colors is the ticket.

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing is starting to slow a bit, but fishing first thing in the morning is still fairly good. Most anglers are using worms or PowerBait, though worms appear to be working better. Most traditional nymph patterns should work and they are also hitting dry flies when the sun either first hits the water or just leaves it. Bead head prince nymphs, PT nymphs, sparkle buggers

Not a lot of change here. Fishing is in limbo as the water temperature is such that the trout fishing is slowing down and the bass fishing hasn't quite picked up yet.

Wild Horse Reservoir

Fishing has been good for trout especially in the Hendricks Arm using large(4"-6") minnow imitators. The best type of pattern appears to be a perch pattern and fish in the 10 to 17 inch range were mighty hungry. Even some 8 to 10 inch perch were hitting the 4" rapalas. Perch fishing is spotty, though once you find them fishing for them is fair to good
