Nevada Fish Reports

Flows are low below Wild Horse Reservoir and fishing is best in the deeper pools. Recent snowfall has left the banks wet and icy.

Water temperatures are dropping into the high 40s to low 50s. Trout in the 15″ t0 20″ range are being caught in the collection ditch. 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 is done for the season. Special Regulations:  Artificial lures only in

Water temps have dipped into the low 40s. The boat dock has been removed from the water for the winter. Thin ice has formed in some coves, but is NOT safe for ice fishing, especially with warmer weather forecasted into the next week. Most of the reservoir remains open water. Trout fishing is good for fish between 16″ and 22″. Shoreline anglers are having luck

Water levels are down about 10 feet and the boat ramp is barely submerged. It is unlikely anyone can launch a boat at this time. The shorelines are very muddy due to the receding water. Surface water temps have dropped into the 40s. The road is also in good condition, but may be muddy after recent precipitation. PowerBait and worms are always reliable, or try

The road to Angel Lake has closed for the season as of December 1, 2025. Reports will resume in the spring when the road reopens.

Water temperatures are sitting in the low 40s. 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. Good-sized rainbows have been reeled in by shoreline anglers at Jetski Beach, Fisherman’s Point, and the dam. Fly anglers are having success with nymph, leech and streamer patterns. Boaters

Water temperatures have dropped into the 40s. 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. PowerBait, night crawlers and small spinners are the go-to here.

Striped bass anglers are reporting success when trolling swimbaits, jigs, and when fishing with anchovies. Sticking to shad imitations for your swimbaits would be a good place to start if trolling. Largemouth bass should be up shallow in the coves during the early morning hours and at night. Finesse presentations while the bass are up shallow in cover may be a good starting point. Smallmouth

Lake Mead has historically fished well this time of year. Striped bass are being found largely by trolling. Main lake points would be a good spot to start until a school is found. Swimbaits in white color schemes and anchovies seem to be the crowd favorite when targeting striped bass. Anglers are also reporting success with different small jigs in white color schemes. Special Regulations: The limit

These cold mornings have made the bite window on the Truckee a bit more limited as of lately. Getting on the water around 10-11am and fishing through the warmest point of the day will be the name of the game until things warm up again in spring.    With the lack of precipitation, we are doing best fishing little black stuff right now and not so much

With the rain/snow mix over the last week we did see the river come up and get a bit off color for a short while. As of today the water has cleared back up and the flows have stabilized. Overall, for this time of year, the flows are incredibly good along the entire system. Just under 300 CFS in Glenshire, around 450 below Boca, 450
