Nevada Fish Reports


75 Percent Covered in Ice

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
There is still a large mass of ice covering approximately 75% of the reservoir. With warmer temperatures around the corner, the rest of the ice could come off quickly. The reservoir is sitting at approximately 90% of capacity. Anglers can access the reservoir from the west and fish the entire western shoreline.  Anglers will do well on nightcrawlers, spinners, wet flies, and PowerBait.

Fishing is Good

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The Nevada Department of Wildlife planted the reservoir with 5,000 tiger trout and 15,000 rainbow trout. Fishing is good, but traffic has been slow. Some lucky anglers reeled in some 15-17-inch browns over the weekend using spinners. The campgrounds and facilities have been upgraded and ready for spring break, but the boat has been temporarily removed for upgrades and safety. The new dock should be

Reservoir Waters Are Slowly Rising

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The reservoir waters are slowly rising. Fishing has been improving in the wake of spring trout plants. Rainbow trout will take spinners and night crawlers. Water at the campgrounds has not yet been turned on, but that is expected to change sometime in the coming week. 

Seasonal Trout Plants Have Come to an End

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Seasonal trout plants have come to an end. Trout are cruising the shorelines just south of Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area. Anglers are averaging one to two fish on PowerBait and night crawlers. The Laughlin Lagoon remains a hotspot for black bass anglers. Fish up to 3 pounds are taking soft plastics. Striper anglers are reporting a slow bite on this stretch

Lake Mohave Bass Are Active

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Lake Mohave bass are active, but anglers are struggling with the wind. Smallmouth bass are biting in 6-8 feet of water. Chigger craws and worms in green pumpkin are the baits of choice. Willow Beach anglers are finding stripers just south of the marina. Trout swimbaits and anchovies fished deep are producing nice fish. Rainbow trout are hanging around the shadows near the fishing pier.

Lake Mead Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Striped bass anglers are having the most success with anchovies and golden shiners. Boaters are trolling down about 65 feet and shore anglers are seeing action in the coves of the Las Vegas Bay area. Most fish are weighing less than 3 pounds. Largemouth bass activity is steadily increasing as the fish near the spawn. Soft plastics are tempting fish averaging 2 pounds around Callville

25 Lb. Striper

by RUSTY
With the weather starting to give us a few days that are pleasant out side the fishing is picking up. Our local angler Jim Reed was able to land a nice striper in the casino area. He was fishing on the Arizona side using anchovies to land this nice 25.02 pound striper at 44 and 1/2 inches. I have been hearing that a few smaller

Chasing Trophy Fish

by PYRAMID FLY CO.
When chasing trophy fish it often takes a few days to get everything dialed in and even then it doesn’t always go as planed. On day 4 everything lined perfectly up for Eric. We hooked a few really nice fish the first few days but they won time and time again. Well this afternoon was bonkers and he topped his personal best one after another.

Solid Spring Fishing

by MATT KOLES
Solid spring fishing. Been cold, but we finally had a warm weekend. Winds, and an inside slider today over the Great Basin. Warming back up again later in the week. Been a cold March, cold winter for that matter. I guess it’s spring though. Flows are great on the Truckee River, not high, not low. Been about 3 years since mellow spring flows. Good wading access for everyone.

The Ranch is Still Fishing Pretty Well

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
The ranch is still fishing pretty well, like the Rosachi the best time seems to be mid-day. The river is running about 61 cfs right now. With the California side being closed now we’re getting quite a few reservations for the Sceirine so if you want to book some time down there try to call as much ahead as you can. The same fly patterns

East Walker is Fishing Pretty Well Lately

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
The Nevada side of the EW is fishing pretty well lately, we’ve had some good reports from the Rosachi section this past week, haven’t heard anything about the Elbow section though. Most of the anglers we’ve spoken with have had their best success from about 10am to around 3 pm lately. There has been some good fish up to nearly 20 inches being caught. Most
