Nevada Fish Reports

I took one of my old coworkers Jeff Jeffress from TRE fishing with me this week. We started at 9:30 and fished until 3. The early morning bite was very good for 1.75 to 2.0lb rainbows. We got 6 fish to the boat and lost one that was much bigger. We also caught a very nice small mouth bass about 2-3 lbs. All fish were

The Truckee has continued to be very consistent, considering it’s the middle of December. The flows are still holding strong along the entire river system, and the fishing remains good all up and down the river, from Glenshire Drive to USA Parkway. That’s a lot of good water to fish, so get out and try something new!   The water remains very clear just about everywhere, even

Water temps have dropped into the 40s and water levels remain very low. Trout catch rates are fair. Try small, flashy spinners or PowerBait combined with small pieces of worm under a bobber. Bass and bluegill catch rates have dropped off with cooler weather.  The boat ramp is not open this year due to low water levels.

Ruby Lake is ice free. Anglers fishing the collection ditch are reporting fair to good angling for trout with trout over 20 inches being reported. Fall stocking has also increased angler success at the south springs. Dry fly fishing has slowed, and fly anglers are switching to leeches, streams and chironomids. Small, flashy spinners like Panther Martins are the go-to for spin anglers. Bass fishing

The boat dock has been removed from the water for the winter. Thin ice has formed on the Hendricks Arm, Penrod Arm and some small coves, but is NOT safe for ice fishing, especially with warmer weather forecasted into the next week. Open water fishing is good for trout between 16″ and 22″. Shoreline anglers are having luck with PowerBait or night crawlers fished off

The dock at the main boat ramp has been removed for the winter. Water temperatures are sitting in the low 40s and the reservoir is ice free. Trout fishing has been good throughout the reservoir. Fish are hitting combinations of PowerBait and worms fished off the bottom, as well as flashy spinners throw from shore. Best fishing is late morning near transition waters. Good-sized rainbows

Cave Lake is entirely open water with a thin layer of ice over portions of the lake. All ice should be considered unsafe. There is good shoreline access from the day-use area of the State Park. Approx. 8,000 rainbow trout, averaging 9 inches were stocked this fall. Anglers should expect to catch hatchery stocked trout, however, there is a chance that you can catch a trout

Recent water temperatures are at 400F and is 100% open water. The reservoir received 2,024 rainbow trout this spring, averaging 10 inches. In July, a total of 5,000 tiger trout were stocked averaging 3.7 inches. The fishery is recovering after significant drawdown events.

Comins Lake has seen a loss of ice this week, with only ~80% of the lake being covered in ice with most of the north lake being open now.  Shoreline access along the western shoreline should provide good opportunity to anglers. There is opaque, weak ice on the lake and should be considered unsafe until ice becomes thicker. Fall stocking is complete with 10,059 rainbow

Illipah Reservoir is ~80% ice covered with only a few small areas of open water. There is opaque, weak ice on the lake and all ice should be considered unsafe at this time. Shoreline fishing is available at the old dam and just north of the old dam. A total of 5,715 rainbow trout, averaging 8.6 inches was stocked.  Fall shoreline fishing was good with
