Eastern Nevada Fish Reports


Good Fishing

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The road is rutted, but still in fairly good shape, though with the recent rain, expect it to be muddy this weekend. The lake is spilling heavily and anglers report good fishing below the spillway and the falls. The water is turbid and approximately 55 degrees. Fishing conditions should be similar to South Fork. Fishing has been fair to good for trout and slow to

Road Closed

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The road to Angel Lake is closed. Generally, NDOT has the road open just before Memorial Day.

South Fork Update

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Not a lot of change here as fishing continues to improve here. Fishing was good last Saturday during the snowy/rainy weather and several anglers report good days of fishing here. However, heavy flows continue to come into the lake bringing lots of dirt and debris causing the water to be very turbid, especially at the south end. PowerBait seems to be working better than worms.

Fair to Good

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing has been fair to good for 10 to 13 inch fish using the usual worms and PowerBait. Small Cave Lake specials, wooly buggers and the usual nymphs such as prince, hares ears and pheasant tail nymphs should all work. Spinners in gold, black or dark green with contrasting spots on them have been working as well.

Fly Fishing the Ticket

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fish have been seen dimpling the surface, probably taking midges or mayfly emergers. Fishing should be good on the warmer afternoons.

Rising

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The lake level continues to rise and fishing is improving as the water warms. Fishing has been fair to good for rainbows. Most anglers have been using worms, PowerBait, and spinners. Hares ears, chironomids and olive or black wooly bugers are the ticket for fly fishermen.

Who's going fishing this weekend? After the long process of removing the northern pike, trout have been stocked again in Comins Lake.
