Humboldt County Fish Reports

Closed November 15 (Opens the Second Saturday in June)

Knot Creek Reservoir is located 2 hours Northwest of Winnemucca Nevada and about a 4 hour drive from Reno. The lake is well known by the locals for having some outstanding trout fishing. The lake has plenty of water this year and the fishing has been good all season. Damsels, Callibaetis and midges are hatching in this high desert lake and fish are being caught

Feel like taking a few days off? This may be the best Stillwater fishing spot in Nevada right now. Fish are eating just about anything and a variety of methods are working. Best of all, fish are eating Callabaetis on the surface! Ants and beetles are also worth a try. For sinking flies, darker colored woolies and leaches, sheep creek specials, damsels and dragon flies

The road is in much better shape now and the fishing has been good. Fish are being caught on a variety of methods and flies. Sheep creek specials, black bird\\\\\\\'s nests, scuds and aggravators are all catching fish. Having a floating line, an intermediate line and a fast sinking line with improve your odds of catching fish.

Most reports indicate warm water temps and a lot of Algae. Seasoned fly fisherman are still catching fish with sinking lines. The Algae is only in the top 6 inches of the water column. Woolybuggers, Leaches, Sheep Creek Specials and Damsel Nymphs have been the most affective

Opened on June 14th. The fishing is awesome. The road is in good shape. There will be a lot of anglers there on weekends due to the fantastic fishing last year. Midges and Copper Johns fished under an indicator was great on the opener as well as Scuds, Sheep Creek Specials and Damsels fished with an intermediate line.
