Ruby Lake Fish Report 08-29-07

Ruby Lake NWR

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Water levels are declining, though the water level is at the refuges objective for this time of year. The springs are producing very little water, so trout fishing has dropped off. Some fish are being caught from the dikes, but for the most part, they are too small to keep. Anglers who know the marsh are catching limits, while those new to the marsh are

Wild Horse Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Last week you could only see 12 to 18 inches in the water due to the heavy algae growth. This week you can see 5 to 6 feet after the algae die-off that contributed to this week's fish kill. With the warm surface temperatures and the lack of oxygen fishing is very poor here and probably will be for the next couple of weeks.

Wilson Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Little or no change here as bass fishing continues to be fair to good and trout fishing is fair, though anglers are catching trout. For bass, rubber gear in either very dark or very bright colors is the ticket as well as crank baits. Trout and bass have been mostly active in the early morning or late evening. Fly rodders should try damsel patterns, mayflies,

Angel Lake Fish Report 08-29-07

Angel Lake

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The lake level has dropped quite a bit, though there is no recent report on fishing conditions. However, this time of year fishing in early morning before the wind picks up appears to be the best. 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.

Not much change here as anglers continue to have to fight the weeds here, especially at the south end of the lake. Trout fishing is fair.

Most trout anglers are doing the best trolling rapalas or flashers tipped

Wilson Reservoir

Bass fishing has been good, especially along the rocky shore on the north side of the lake. Rubber gear in either very dark or very bright colors is the ticket.

Angel Lake

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing is starting to slow a bit, but fishing first thing in the morning is still fairly good. Most anglers are using worms or PowerBait, though worms appear to be working better. Most traditional nymph patterns should work and they are also hitting dry flies when the sun either first hits the water or just leaves it. Bead head prince nymphs, PT nymphs, sparkle buggers
