Some Areas With Open Water

Kirch Wildlife Management Area

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

There are some areas on the reservoirs with open water where rainbow trout fishing could be good. Nighttime temperatures are still dropping below the freezing mark, so anglers will have to contend with ice along the shorelines. Any ice is too thin to walk on. It is still too cold for bass.

Ice Fishing Remains Good

Eagle Valley Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Ice fishing remains good, but anglers should always verify conditions before venturing onto the ice. Rainbow trout have been taking night crawlers and a variety of PowerBait options.

Ice Conditions Vary Day By Day

Echo Canyon Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Anglers are still seeing ice along the edges. The water is starting to rise, which means ice conditions will vary by the day. Fishing pressure has been minimal, but those who get out are catching rainbow trout using orange and chartreuse PowerBait. The campgrounds and all facilities are open.

Striper Bites Are Hit and Miss

Colorado River - Laughlin

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Rainbow trout are providing most of the action on the river. Anglers fishing from boats and the shoreline are catching their 5-fish limits on PowerBait, night crawlers and spinners. Striper bites are hit and miss, but anglers have caught fish as large as 10 pounds on anchovies and trout swimbaits.

Reports Are Striper Are Coming In

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Reports of striper catches are coming in at both the north and south ends of the reservoir. Boaters have been most successful using X-Rap jerkbaits in shad and minnow patterns. Black bass action remains slow, probably due to cooler temperatures that have moved in. Kayakers at Willow Beach are catching rainbow trout on soft plastic worms in pearl and olive colors. Shore anglers are catching

A Few Catfish Are Biting on Warmer Evenings

Las Vegas Urban Ponds

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Night crawlers and meal worms have been the go-to bait for catching stocked trout. A few catfish have been biting on warmer evenings at Sunset Park. Water temperatures are still a bit chilly for bluegill

Anglers Are Averaging 5 Fish A Day

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Striped bass are biting on anchovies in the Boulder Beach area and near the fishing pier. Anglers are averaging five fish a day and are reporting more bites when fishing anchovies just off the bottom in the evening. In the Overton Arm, anglers are catching stripers by trolling swimbaits in 20 to 40 feet of water. The black bass bite is hit-and-miss, especially given the

17 Lb. Striper

Colorado River - Davis Dam

by RUSTY

We are still having a few anglers getting some stripers here along the Colorado river below the Davis Dam. From the reports I have been hearing about its in the casino area that has been producing the best. So far I would say from the bridge to just below Community park is a great area for both stripers and our rainbow trout. Our visiting angler

February Fishing at Pyramid Lake

by PYRAMID LAKE GUIDES

The weather on the lake has been all over the place, but the good fishing has remained consistent . We will start to see some pre-spawn action with more fish in the shallows soon. Despite popular belief, the recent full moon did not seem to affect the fishing at all. It appears that storms and barometric pressure have more of an effect on the lake

Flows Are Down And Bugs Are Out

by MATT KOLES

Mild weather on the Truckee River. Looks like this month may stay dry and mild. Hopefully, we can get some storms in March. Reno hit 70 last week. Most ski resorts are at about 80 percent of average on the upper mountains. We will need a good end of this month, or March to get back somewhat closer to average. There is water stored in the

Covered in 8 Inches of Ice

Jakes Creek Reservoir (Boies Reservoir)

Jakes Creek is still covered with approximately eight inches of ice but no fishing report. Generally fishing through the ice is good for 10 to 14-inch trout using a jig tipped with a worm.

Unsafe Ice Conditions

Jiggs Reservoir (Zunino Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

This impoundment is covered in unsafe ice with the aerators running to prevent a winter fish kill. There will be no fishing report until spring when it becomes ice free.

Ruby Lake Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The road in the valley is hard in the morning but muddy in the afternoon on your way out. Most of the collection ditch is ice free. Water levels in the collection ditch are low and clear and fishing for trout is fair to good depending upon the day. Anglers report catching mostly 10 to 14-inch fish in many areas, with a few 15 to

Ice Thickiness Ranges 8-14 Inches

Wild Horse Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

As of Thursday, February 6, ice thickness ranged from eight to fourteen inches depending upon location on the lake and if there was some slush that froze adding to the thickness of the ice. With the addition of a few inches of snow and some warm temperatures, slush can be a problem, especially if venturing off some of the “paths” that people have made. Both

Road to Wilson is 4WD

Wilson Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The road to Wilson is 4WD and there has been no recent report on ice. However, conditions here are often similar to South Fork, so expect unsafe ice and probably some open water.

Completely Frozen Over

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Angel Lake is completely frozen over and the road is closed for the winter, so there will be no fishing reports until late next spring or early next summer depending upon winter weather.

Warm Weather Has Ice Receding

South Fork Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The warm weather has ice receding at South Fork and on Thursday, January 30, the lake was more than 50% open water and the rest unsafe ice.

Spin anglers should be trying
