Nevada Fish Reports


Very small dry flies have also been effective on warmer afternoon

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Not much has changed as far as fishing conditions as fishing has been fair to good for 13 to 18-inch fish depending upon the day and location on the ditch.  The wind is also playing a part in the fishing.  Best days seem to be when there are light to moderate winds to break the surface up but not so strong as to interfere with

Wildhorse Reservoir Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The perch die-off is continuing at Wildhorse Reservoir but it doesn’t appear to be affecting trout or other species. Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) biologists are doing extensive testing to try to find the cause of the die-off. Anglers report that fishing from shore has slowed significantly. Perch fishing has been poor. Fishing in the coves and from shore has been fair for trout. Bass

Fishing for trout continues to be good for fly fishermen

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Fishing for trout continues to be good for fly fishermen using leech, wooly buggers and chironomids as surface water temperatures are in the mid to high 50’s. No report on any bass being caught here but as the water warms, they should become active. Trout are cruising shallow water where temperatures are closer to the high 50’s on sunny days. Anglers should use the same

Shorelines still have a fair amount of snow

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The road to Angel Lake is open but the lake is still mostly ice covered with some open water at the outflow by the spillway and where the snowmelt comes into the lake on the west side. Shorelines still have a fair amount of snow. With the warmer weather forecast expect thaw/freeze cycle to continue making spots on the road slick with ice, especially early

Wind continues to play a part in fishing conditions

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Surface water temperatures here are in the mid to high 50’s and should rise quickly once the weather warms up next week. Fishing has been fair to good depending upon the day for spin, bait and fly rodders. Wind continues to play a part in fishing conditions and fish the leeward shores where food is pushed into shallow water by wave and wind action. It

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. In White Pine County, most streams have changed little and

Cave Lake is lowered to minimum and unfishable

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Cave Lake is lowered to minimum and unfishable. Fish stocking will resume once the dam repairs are completed. Cave Lake is closed to fishing due to shorelines that are very soft and dangerous due to the complete saturation of the soil as the lake is drained.  By draining the lake, it should shave a couple of years off the re-building of the dam and cut

Pike anglers have had some success

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Surface water temperatures are in the mid to high 50’s and fishing continues to be good for trout and slow to fair for bass. Nightcrawlers have been working for trout though anglers have also been doing well using PowerBait. For fly rodders, this time of year chironomid patterns are recommended as they can make up as much as 80% of the trout’s diet in the

Surface water temperatures into the mid to high 50 degrees and fishing has been fair to good.

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Surface water temperatures into the mid to high 50 degrees and fishing has been fair to good.  Water levels continue to slowly improve though the snowmelt is just about done and it probably won’t gain much more water. Anglers will do well with a variety of night crawlers, PowerBait, and spinners. For bait anglers nightcrawlers and rainbow PowerBait are the best bet. Small spinners, spoons

Our biologist of the area years ago would take his own vehicle down that nasty road and put these little

Sunny solid weather, and healthy flows here on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES
Sunny solid weather, and healthy flows here on the Truckee River. Good Spring weather, cold mornings, and warm afternoons. Good big flows, all up and down the river. Just a great time to be out. Flows are right below 900 cubes here in the Hirsch, and higher as you go down the river. 900 is high, but good. We have water coming out of Lake Tahoe too,

It sounds like the numbers aren’t real high but the quality is really good. Nymphing has been the best on the ranch as well with just a few fish being reported on dries and
