Wildhorse Reservoir Fish Report 12-20-07

by DON QUILICI
Dennis Dunn, Jerry, Fred, Ron and Debbie at the Wild Horse Resort (775) 758-6472: It is iced over with the first four fishermen on the ice at mid-week. We have been below 0 degrees every night for a week. Be cautious on the ice as you venture out, drilling holes in front of you. Wear plenty of warm clothes as daytime highs are in the

Dennis Dunn, Jerry, Fred, Ron and Debbie at the Wild Horse Resort (775) 758-6472: It was cloudy and 19 degrees all night (Sunday night) and it never varied one degree. The reservoir is about 2/3 frozen over, but they are catching some big rainbows from shore in the open area by the boat dock. The rainbows look like footballs, they are 18 inches long and

Dennis Dunn, Jerry, Fred, Ron and Debbie at the Wild Horse Resort (775) 758-6472: We've had a lot of wind, about 2 inches of snow and it has been down to -2, -4 and -6 at nights. The reservoir is iced-over, except for a hole out in the middle. I would guess that in about a week, it will be OK to venture a short

Dennis Dunn, Jerry, Fred, Ron and Debbie at the Wild Horse Resort (775) 758-6472: The temperatures are now down to 1-6 degrees at night. The reservoir now has a thin skim of ice from the state boat ramp toward the resort. Shore fishermen have been catching some nice rainbows (15-19 inches and super fat) and perch with no weights and inflated worms. They are also

Dennis Dunn, Mark, Rocket and Scott at the Wild Horse Resort (775) 758-6472: Fishermen have been catching some nice rainbows (15-19 inches) and perch with worms from shore and boats. They are also catching quite a few trout on the river, below the dam.

Ruby Lake Fish Report 11-19-07

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
No recent report, but trout fishing was picking up. The pool behind the hatchery, the spring ponds and the collection ditch should all produce some fish. The collection ditch is artificials only, so read the regulations to know what you can and can't use. Bass fishing is done for the year.

The fishing here has been fair to good with nice trout being caught near the state park boat ramp and the Hendricks arm. Most fish are being caught by trollers using nickel flashers that are tipped with spinners or worms. Fish about 6 to 10 feet deep. No information on shore fishing. The lake is about 40 percent full and the water temperature is getting

The road continues to be in good shape, though the northern part of Elko County is getting more precipitation than the southern half and if people start driving this road before it dries out it can become very rutted. Fish this lake like just like you would South Fork and you should be just fine.

Angel Lake Fish Report 11-19-07

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
I'm just guessing, but most of the alpine lakes are icing up and while this one is a bit lower, it is in shadow during the warmest part of the day, which is the afternoon and I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't starting to ice up. I haven't been able to find out if the road is closed yet, but if we get some

South Fork Reservoir Fish Report 11-19-07

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Little or no change here as the water level and temps are favorable to fishing. The surface water temps are in the low to mid 40's and the west third of the lake is seeing most of the action, though you should be able to catch fish almost anywhere. The old riverbed is always a good choice to fish as the larger fish hang off

Cave Lake Fish Report 11-19-07

Dennis Dunn, Mark, Rocket and Scott at the Wild Horse Resort (775) 758-6472: Fishermen are catching rainbows (19-21 inches), perch and catfish (up to 4 pounds) by the face of the dam. They are using a double rig with yellow Power Bait on one hook and worms on the other.

Trout fishing is still slow and will be for at least a week or so. The state park shoreline has been cleared of dead fish and the smell and flies are back to normal here. The only area where the smell and flies continue to be a problem are in the canyon at the northernmost end of the lake. The rest of the lake is

Wilson Reservoir Fish Report 10-23-07

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing is difficult and a bit slow as the water level has dropped and the weeds have increased. Most of the trout are in the canyon in the layer between the deep cold water and the shallower warmer water with more oxygen. Trollers should go very slowly. Try cowbells tipped with a worm, spinners or rapala type lures. For bass, rubber gear in either very

Get out on the water early in the moring before the wind picks up. Damsels, mayflies, midge patterns and small wooly buggers all work. Flies such as humpies, royal Wulffs and Kaufmann stimulators may make for some good surface action.
