Eastern Nevada Fish Reports

Jiggs is ice free and anglers have been catching trout up to 15 inches from shore.  Rainbow PowerBait  seems to be the ticket here, though worms are also working.  The same lures and flies that work at South Fork should all work here.

Very little change here.  With the drier weather, the road in Ruby Valley has dried out and has been graded. You can get through Harrison Pass, though it is definitely 4WD only and with this week’s forecast unsettled weather, may close again.  The collection ditch is ice free.  Water levels in the collection ditch are low and clear and fishing for trout is fair to

It is still winter at Wildhorse and as of Thursday, March 12, ice thickness averaged around 15 inches with a thin layer of crusty snow on top.  The ice at the bottom of the boat ramp is a bit broken from atv traffic getting on and off the ice.  If ice fishing near the highway culvert in the Penrod arm, take care as this is

No recent report, but expect similar conditions to South Fork with the probability that the lake is ice free.  The road is heavily rutted and after this weekend’s rain may be 4WD for a couple of days until it dries out.   Probably not worth the trip at this time.

South Fork is ice free and fishing has picked up with anglers catching half a dozen fish for a morning’s worth of fishing.  Trout are 15 to 20 inches with the occasional 22 inch fish and all are very fat.  Lots of shoreline to fish and shore anglers are also doing well.   Fly fishermen have been catching trout using a variety of nymphs (black and

CCR is open for shoreline fishing.  Anglers should be able to catch trout on a variety of tackle including spinners, wet flies, nightcrawlers, and powerbait.

The lake is sitting at capacity and spilling water into the North Valley of Steptoe Valley Wildlife Management Area. Mostly ice free with lots of open water for fishing. Trout fishing has been fair to good for shore anglers using worms or PowerBait. Spring flies include black or olive wooly buggers, small hares ears and PT nymphs, chironomids and egg patterns. NDOW has implanted transmitters

The reservoir remains at capacity with a fair amount of open water for fishing and very unsafe ice. Anglers will do well on nightcrawlers, mealworms, wet flies, and powerbait.
