Eastern Nevada Fish Reports

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.    

Angel Lake is completely frozen over and the road is closed for the winter, so there will be no fishing reports until late next spring or early next summer depending upon winter weather.

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

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. 

This impoundment is covered in unsafe ice with the aerators running to prevent a winter fish kill.  There will be no fishing report until spring when it becomes ice free.  

The road in the valley is hard in the morning but muddy in the afternoon on your way out and it was graded earlier in the week.  The collection ditch is ice free.  Water levels in the collection ditch are low and clear and fishing for trout is fair to good depending upon the day.  Anglers report catching mostly 10 to 14-inch fish in many

As of Wednesday, February 12, ice thickness ranged from ten to fifteen inches depending upon location on the lake and if there was some slush that froze adding to the thickness of the ice. Most of the slush has frozen with the cold winds and temperatures at night so getting around was fairly easy.  There is a storm front moving in on Saturday, so depending

The road to Wilson is very rutted and the lake is mostly covered in unsafe ice. The water level is rising and is causing a small ring of water around the edges, but as of Tuesday, February 11, there wasn’t really enough open water for fishing.

Access to the lake is now permitted. There is around 5 inches of safe ice along the shore and 6 to 9 inches of ice in the middle.  Fishing pressure has been low so no report on how fishing has been.  Expect fair to good fishing for 10 to12 inch fish using PowerBait or worms on small jigs. Please follow the signs showing the lake

CCR is mostly open water and much of the reservoir open to shoreline fishing.  Any remaining ice should be considered unsafe and anglers are advised to stay off the ice.  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. The north end of the lake has an area of about 20 yards by 225 yards along the western shore that is open water for shore fishing and anglers have been catching fish there.  Thee rest of the ice at the north end of the lake

The reservoir remains at capacity and ice is sitting at 6 to 10 inches throughout the lake.  Some variation in ice depth may be present were the creek comes into the lake and anglers should use caution when fishing this area.  With the warmer temperatures, it is time to start drilling test holes as you venture upon the ice here as a precaution.  Anglers will
