Stream flows are showing mixed results with some up and some down compared to last week in northeastern Nevada but are still well below normal. Those basins with more snow will see increases in flows next week with the warmer weather but as you head south, they may drop off due to lack of snowpack.

Stream flows have increased just a bit over the past week with the precipitation and snowmelt though they are still well below the median for this time of year.

As weather and water conditions allow for it, they’ll continue to get fish supplemented as needed. Powerbait off the bottom is typically the best go-to fishing method at the western community ponds. When vegetation covering the bottom is an
