by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Windy and warm days are ahead. Weeds are starting to emerge. Weedless hooks are recommended to spend more time catching bass and crappie, than pulling plants from the end of your line. Bass are active and hitting on jigs and imitation plastics. Haymeadow and Cold Springs Reservoirs are picking up for crappie. Anglers are using small jigs and nightcrawlers.

Murky waters made fishing tough for some anglers recently

Eagle Valley Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Murky waters made fishing tough for some anglers recently. Temperatures are reaching into the 80s during the day and dropping into the 50s at night. Trout prefer hitting PowerBait and nightcrawlers in the early mornings or evenings. Action for bass and crappie has been decent, and a little longer lived through the day with jigs and woolly buggers working well.

The warmer temperatures are impacting shore fishing opportunities

Echo Canyon Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The warmer temperatures are impacting shore fishing opportunities. Largemouth bass have been hitting on imitation crawdads, worms, and grubs in darker colors. In addition, green or root beer color tube baits, small jigs, and nightcrawler pieces are bringing in crappie. Anglers are having better success a little later in the morning and see it slow in the afternoon until the heat subsides and shadows return

Las Vegas Urban Ponds

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Bluegill and catfish are the go-to fish to catch in the ponds. Mealworms have been productive bait for the bluegill, with the best bites early or late afternoon. Anglers have had modest success for catfish in the evenings using chicken livers and night crawlers. Unfortunately, as per years past, catfish will not be stocked for the next month due to the high summer temperatures. We

Anglers are catching a mixed bag of stripers and black bass

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Anglers are catching a mixed bag of stripers and black bass on plastics and crankbaits. Fishing has been good for stripers hanging on the surface following their food source. There have been some limits of crappie coming out of the Overton Arm. A reminder to check regulations on limits for each species and spearfishing.

As of June 10, Kingston Creek was flowing at 3.0 cfs.

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Most stream flows are down, with just a few up due to the hot weather causing an increase in snowmelt at the higher elevations. The peak snowmelt is over, so expect decreasing flows over the next few weeks with dry weather conditions forecast for eastern Nevada. In White Pine County, most streams have changed little and shouldn’t change much as there is little snowpack left

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

Colorado River - Laughlin

by RUSTY

We are getting some success here along the Colorado River below the Davis Dam. The fishing up on Lake Mohave is picking up with some smallmouth being picked up along the point while fishing the shelves. The largemouth are still watching the fry, this means while they are guarding the baby fish they will not be starting to feed until the fry are a bit larger.

Our weather is cooperating and so is the fishing. We are getting a fairly great striper bite with the shore anglers having the best of luck. It has been a bit of a hit and a lot of misses but with some persistence and a little luck anglers are able to bring in a few stripers in the 2 to 7 pound range. Our local angler

Stream flows are showing mixed results

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Stream flows are showing mixed results with some up and some down compared to last week in northeastern Nevada but are still well below normal. Those basins with more snow will see increases in flows next week with the warmer weather but as you head south, they may drop off due to lack of snowpack.
