by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Anglers have been having the best luck with rainbow trout from boats; most of them are using PowerBait or night crawlers in Adams McGill. With other fish, anglers are successful with spoons, Kastmasters, and Super Dupers. Heads-up that hunting season is in full swing, so keep in mind that anglers will need to share the waters.
