Surface water temperatures have moved into the mid 60’s and fishing has been fair to good for eight to 10 inch stocked trout with an occasional larger carryover fish.  With the dry conditions, irrigation has started and the water level at this reservoir is starting to drop.  Anglers will do well with a variety of night crawlers, PowerBait, and spinners.

Stream flows are showing mixed results with some up but most down compared to last week in eastern Nevada and are still well below normal. The peak snowmelt is over, so expect decreasing flows over the next week with dry weather conditions forecast for eastern Nevada.

Expect slow fishing with some areas being more productive than others with low water

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Stocking of several thousand channel catfish and white crappie along with half a million juvenile white bass has occurred in both Little Washoe Lake and Washoe Lake during the 2017, 2018, and 2019 seasons. Expect slow fishing with some areas being more productive than others with low water. Carp can always be a good option in little washoe for anglers when the wind is down.

The inlet has fished well for trout this spring

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing overall has been good at Squaw but not without some slow days here and there. The inlet has fished well for trout this spring but should start shifting to bass as summer sets in.

The river is in excellent condition and fishing well

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The river is in excellent condition and fishing well. Flows are currently ideal but they can jump pretty quick with any high elevation rain or real heat. Roughly 600cfs in Reno makes for near prefect conditions on the lower river. This isn’t going to last so get out east before we see it heat up. From Reno West, anglers can expect some sporadic little yellow stones
