The water level is in good shape, however weeds are impacting fishing access

Jakes Creek Reservoir (Boies Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The water level is in good shape, however weeds are impacting fishing access for shoreline anglers. Better fishing opportunity will be from float tube, kayak, etc. at this time. Through the summer, trout up to 18″ have been caught. Try small Panther Martins and Mepps, worms or your favorite PowerBait. Midge and leech patterns are working well for fly rodders. Bass and catfish catch rates

The water is warm and trout fishing is slow

Jiggs Reservoir (Zunino Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The water is warm and trout fishing is slow. Early mornings are still producing a few trout with small, flashy spinners or PowerBait combined with small pieces of worm. Bass and bluegill catch rates are better. A variety of soft plastics and jigs with active presentations should work for bass. Bluegill are most likely to hit worms under a bobber. The boat ramp is not

Fly anglers are reporting success with dark-colored streamer patterns, as well as your favorite nymph pattern (pheasant tail, gold-ribbed hares ear, etc.). Fish are hitting dry flies with the warmer weather. Small, flashy spinners like Panther Martins are the go-to for

Water temps are in the high 60s. Algae is still dispersed across much of the reservoir, with some areas thicker than others. Weed growth is increasing in the coves, but there are still areas shoreline anglers can fish around it. Trout fishing from shore is slow due to hot daytime temperatures, but boaters are reporting decent catch rates in deeper water. Shoreline anglers will have

Water levels are in good shape and water clarity is still decent

Wilson Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Water levels are in good shape and water clarity is still decent despite some algae growth throughout the lake. The road is also in good condition. Trout fishing has slowed some with armer temperatures but catch rates remain fair. PowerBait and worms are always reliable, or try throwing a rooster tail or small spoon. Small nymph, midge and leech patterns should work for fly anglers.

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Anglers are catching trout in the 10″ range. Green PowerBait and worms are the go-to here for bait anglers. Ants, balanced leeches, and zebra midges are favorites for fly anglers.

Algae growth continues to impact water clarity and weed growth is thick

South Fork Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Water temperatures remain in the mid to high 70s. Algae growth continues to impact water clarity and weed growth is thick in the southern portion of the reservoir. With the warm temps, trout fishing is very slow from shore. The trout bite is better for boaters who can reach the deeper, cooler water. Trout are hitting combinations of PowerBait and worms, as well as flashy

South Fork Reservoir

by NORTHERN NEVADA BASS

Thank you all for your patience as I get everything squared away before I post! Yesterday's Southfork event was amazing.

And as the biggest bonus in my mind every fish that was kept
