Reports of striper boils are coming from the south end of Mohave

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Willow Beach boaters are jigging or trolling to catch striped bass. Trout-pattern lures are producing the most consistent results. Reports of striper boils are coming from the south end of Mohave near Katherine Landing and Davis Dam. The fish are hitting topwater lures and jerkbaits thrown just outside the boils. For a black bass bite, try Ned rigs in green pumpkin, swim jigs, or Rat-L-Traps.

Best fishing access is still from a cartopper or float tube

Jakes Creek Reservoir (Boies Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Surface water temperatures have dropped into the mid to high 40’s and the water level is low. Algae and vegetation mats should have been blown off with the recent storm front that moved through. However, due to the lower water level, the best fishing access is still from a cartopper or float tube. Expect slow fishing for bass and catfish. The usual worms and PowerBait,

The cool fall days have made trout fishing productive in the collection ditch

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The cool fall days have made trout fishing productive in the collection ditch. Bass fishing is done in the south lake. While dry flies may still catch an occasional fish in the ditch, nymphs and streamers are the ticket right now. Leech patterns, balanced leeches, crystal buggers, #14-16 hare’s ears, and #16-18 PT nymphs and chironomids under an indicator are probably the best bet. Other

Fishing for trout has been fair to good

Wilson Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Very little change here. With surface water temperatures dropping into the high 40’s, fishing for trout has been fair to good while bass fishing is just fair. Time to switch to blade baits and crankbaits for bass. For the bait anglers, worms seem to be working better than PowerBait for trout. Spin fishermen should be using blue or green spinners with silver blades. Fly rodders

The lake received a fair amount of snow last weekend

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The lake received a fair amount of snow last weekend, but NDOT plows were busy keeping the road open. No recent report on fishing here, but with winter coming on expect it to be fair to good while there is still open water. There has been ice forming around the edges of the lake.

Lake is being drained and anglers should avoid this lake

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

For safety reasons and to expedite the rebuilding of the dam, the lake is being drained and anglers should avoid this lake. Water being drained will be diverted to Comins Lake and if conditions allow, NDOW will be performing a fish salvage moving the fish from Cave and taking them to Comins Lake. Shorelines will be very soft and dangerous due to the complete saturation

No recent report but trout fishing should be fair to good

Cold Creek Reservoir

No recent report but trout fishing should be fair to good here as at other reservoirs. The same flies, lures and techniques that work at South Fork should work here.

The new boat ramp should be useable now

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The new boat ramp should be useable now thanks to the hard work of volunteers from the Ely area and the contractor. Surface water temperatures are in the mid 40’s. Fishing has been slow for bass but good for 14 to 17-inch trout. Anglers will catch trout on nightcrawlers, spinners, nymphs and wooly buggers. Chironomid patterns under an indicator are effective here this time

Best flies right now are leech or wooly bugger patterns

Illipah Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Surface water temperatures are in the mid 40’s here as well and fishing has been good. Best flies right now are leech or wooly bugger patterns. Brown Trout may still be targeted at the inlet end of the reservoir but that is ending any day. Fly rodders will also do well on bead head pheasant tails, wooly buggers, chironomids and parachute Adams. Spinners, PowerBait, and

Mackinaw are in full spawn mode

by DOUG BUSEY

Mackinaw are in full spawn mode. Larger fish from 4-10 lbs are being caught from 140-220 ft down across the south shore. Smaller immature mackinaw have moved up and fish from 1-3 lbs can be caught in 20-40 ft water as they are corralling bait. The larger fish are full of eggs and milt and meat is off color. Smaller fish not mature to spawn

No Annual Fishing Derby This Year

by DOUG BUSEY

With the lake cooling off we will begin to see the larger fish coming out to play

by THE FLY SHOP

Some fish are now being picked up near shore on the drop offs, but to get into any good numbers you will need to be in a tube or pontoon to get out deeper. With the lake cooling off we will begin to see the larger fish coming out to play. The Zack's Pyramid Minnow in Tui Chub, the Popcorn Beetle, Moo Midges and just

Rainbow trout action has been excellent

Echo Canyon Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Rainbow trout action has been excellent. Still, the best action has been found by those using boats or floatables to get out from the shoreline. With water levels still on the low side, anglers find the best action off the dam. The fish are taking PowerBait in rainbow, orange, or green colors, as well as Rooster Tails and other spinners. Weather conditions can change quickly,

Shore anglers are catching limits of rainbow trout

Colorado River - Laughlin

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Shore anglers are catching limits of rainbow trout following recent fish plants. Rooster Tails and garlic flavored PowerBait are producing nice catches. Worms are also working well for trout but could land a catfish too. Reports of striped bass hitting jig heads with worms are coming in from Davis Dam. Swimbaits and crankbaits in shad or trout patterns are also good choices for stripers.
