Anglers Are Catching Limits of Bass and Trout

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Seasonal vegetation growth and lower water levels has made shore fishing a challenge in some areas. Patient anglers are catching limits of bass and trout. Rainbow trout are taking various colors of glitter PowerBait and night crawlers. Daytime temperatures have been in the low 90’s which has made camping nice when taking a break from fishing.

Action Has Been Slow With Warm Temperatures

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Action has been slow this past week as temperatures remain on the warm side. Aquatic vegetation has made shore fishing challenging for anglers, but there are areas where it is easy to reach open water. Trout, crappie and bass continue to provide good action in the mornings, but they slow down as the day heat up. Using a bobber will help to keep your bait

Catfish and Stripers Are Most Active Below The Dam

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Catfish and stripers are most active below the dam. Fishing is good when the winds cooperate. Night crawlers and anchovies are both catching catfish, while stripers seem to prefer anchovies. The dam and casino areas are seeing the most action. Most of the stripers are in the 1- to 3-pound range. The Big Bend area also has been productive.

Bass Fishing Has Been Good

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Anchovies and jointed swimbaits are attracting striped bass at the north and south ends of the reservoir. Night crawlers and anchovies are fooling catfish just 30 feet from shore. Bass fishing is good in and around coves. Both largemouth and smallmouth bass are taking swimbaits. At Willow Beach, trout fishing is good from the fishing pier to the coves just south of the beach areas.

Action Has Been Slow at The Ponds

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Action at the ponds has been slow, though bluegill continue to take mealworms, night crawlers and micro lures. The best fishing takes place in the morning. The Nevada Department of Wildlife plans to plant catfish sometime this week.

Stripers and catfish have been keeping anglers busy during the early morning hours in the Boulder Basin. Deep diving Rapalas are bringing in smallmouth bass, stripers and even catfish. At the moment, catfish seem to be taking a variety of baits and lures. Live shad and anchovies are always a good option for stripers as well as catfish.
