Our measurements from today were anywhere from 7-8” when accessing from the boat ramp. There are pretty large pressure ridges to avoid and pooling water on top of the ice from the warmer weather. We will be in the 50s for the coming week, so please exercise caution when out on the reservoir. We will measure again closer to the fishing derby Amy’s Bar is

Ice thickness is variable across the reservoir

Wild Horse Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Ice thickness is variable across the reservoir, measuring between 4″ and 6″ in most areas surveyed, with some areas of thinner ice. Always take caution and drill test holes. There are multiple pressure ridges that formed across the lake and anglers should steer clear of. Daytime high’s have been up to 50 degrees, resulting in puddles on top of the ice. Use extreme caution throughout

We have some good news! After measuring several locations off of the boat ramp, we received ice thickness measurements of anywhere from 4-6”. Please remember that if you are out on the ice, the ice thickness can be more or less depending on where you are at on the reservoir. So please exercise caution when out on the ice and always avoid sketchy looking areas

Ice has now formed over the majority of the reservoir. Since the ice is still newly formed, we are unsure of thickness and do not recommend being out on it.
