Boies Reservoir Report

Jakes Creek Reservoir (Boies Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

At last report, there was 10 inches of ice, but with the warming trend anglers may find the water level rising a bit creating a ring of water around the lake. As we are nearing the end of the ice fishing season, drilling test holes is advised as you venture upon the ice. Two weeks ago anglers had good results for 10-to-15-inch trout using worms

Water Level is Very Low

Jiggs Reservoir (Zunino Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The lake is iced over with unsafe ice, except where the aerator is. Due to the aerator and the size of the lake, ice is generally never safe for ice fishing. The water level is very low so pray for a good winter to fill this reservoir up.

Plenty of Open Water For Fishing

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Little or no change here as the collection ditch has plenty of open water for fishing, but travel is through Secret Pass. Water level in the collection ditch is up, especially as you get closer to Brown Dike, which is good news for anglers. The water clarity is variable, being murky in some parts and clear in others. Anglers report catching fish averaging 12 to

Wildhorse Reservoir Fishing Report

Wild Horse Reservoir

The ice is approximately 12 to 15 inches as of Thursday with several inches of snow on top. With the warming trend projected over the next 10 days, anglers may find some slush pockets in places, so wear good boots. Continue to use caution around the pressure ridges. However, there is very little change in fishing conditions as anglers are doing well for both perch

50% Open Water and Very Thin Ice

Wilson Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Wilson is approximately 50% open water and very thin, unsafe ice on the rest of the lake. Expect 4WD conditions with the weather we have had. No recent report from any anglers here. Anglers should expect similar fishing conditions as at South Fork and should use the same presentations. Like South Fork, with the predicted warm weather it won’t be long before this lake is

Road is Closed

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The road is closed, and the lake is ice covered. There will be no fishing reports for this lake until late spring or early summer depending upon the winter.

Warmer Temps Have Opened Up Some Water

South Fork Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The wind and warmer temperatures have opened up a large amount of water and there is now more open water than ice. There is also a ring of water around the ice in the north end of the lake and the ice is gray and rotten. Stay off the ice! Anglers are having success with both worms and PowerBait with fish averaging 15 to 18

Fishing Has Been Fair to Good

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Cave Lake is sitting approximately 15 feet below normal water levels and is fluctuating. While there is approximately 8 to 10 inches of safe ice, anglers are encouraged to use caution and drill test holes. If the ice is not in contact with the surface water of the lake, access on the ice is discouraged. Fishing has been fair to good for trout. The best

Very Little Water & Covered in Unsafe Ice

Cold Creek Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Cold Creek Reservoir is now at minimum pool due to outlet structure repair being done by Kinross. There is very little water and it is covered in unsafe ice. It’s not worth the trip. Once repairs are complete, pray for the rest of the winter to bring precipitation to help fill the lake.

Comins Lake Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Comins Lake is starting to open up a bit in the north lake and in portions of the south. Anglers can still access safe ice but need to be extremely careful and drill test holes. With the forecast warmer temperatures, it won’t be long before ice fishing is done here. Fishing has been good for 14-to-18 inch trout and northern pike. Worms seem to work

Fishing Has Been Fair to Good

Illipah Reservoir

As of last week, Illipah has approximately 10 to 12 inches of ice and fishing had been fair to good. Temperatures in the area are forecast to be in the 40’s off and on over the next 10 days, so expect the ice to start degrading. Black or olive jigs tipped with worms jigged slowly have been working as have just hooks with a worm
