Murky But is Starting to Clear Up

Eagle Valley Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Water beneath the ice remains murky but is starting to clear up. That is improving the catch rate for anglers using night crawlers combined with a bit of mini-marshmallow. Anglers using PowerBait in orange or green also are doing well through the ice. The ice is now measuring between 5 and 7 inches over most of the lake with the thickest ice still being found

Fishing Pressure has Been Light.

Echo Canyon Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Cold overnight temperatures have frozen most of the reservoir, leaving only a small open spot in the center. The thickest ice is still being found along the front of the dam, but park rangers are urging anglers to use extreme caution when venturing onto the ice. Fishing pressure has been light. For up-to-date ice conditions contact Echo Canyon State Park at 775-962-5103.

Anchovies are a Top Bait

Colorado River - Laughlin

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

One angler brought in an 8-pound striper while fishing from his boat above Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area. He was using a shad swimbait. Anchovies are a top bait for this stretch of the river as well, bringing in both striped bass and catfish. Rainbow trout are slow to bite, but persistent anglers are bringing them in using PowerBait and spinners.

Good Fishing for Catfish at Willow Beach

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Anglers are reporting good fishing for catfish at Willow Beach. The best time has been after dusk. Jointed swimbaits in shad patterns are catching stripers at the south end of Cottonwood basin while pencil poopers are fooling the fish around Telephone Cove. There are no reports about black bass or catfish.

Las Vegas Urban Ponds

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

NDOW stocking plans call for a rainbow trout plant again this week at Floyd Lamb and Sunset parks, and Veterans Memorial park in Boulder City. The fish have been taking PowerBait, mealworms, and night crawlers, as well as small spinning lures and spoons.

Lake Mead Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Reports are slow in coming from the reservoir. While the shad have been less than cooperative, they are the bait catching striped bass. Anglers are finding stripers at depths of 65 to 80 feet, with most weighing in at about 2 to 4 pounds. This weekend weather forecast calls for rain. So, go prepared for the possibilities, and don’t forget to double check the weather

The Office was Nice Today.

by MIKE NIELSEN

The office was nice today. T-shirts 48 degrees and calm! Kept some for dinner, released some and lost a few!

A Few Stripers

by RUSTY

I have been getting some word of a few stripers up on Lake Mohave but it’s a little slow as of yet. Could be our wind which does keep most off the water. The Colorado river here below Davis dam has also been the victim of the weather and the shutdown. The good news we are getting some higher water releases and the trout are

When Do You Use a Ladder at Pyramid Lake?

by RENO FLY SHOP

Fishing from ladders has become synonymous with Pyramid Lake. Specifically during the spring season, as temperatures rise and people come out from hibernation and begin lining up awaiting their chance to land a truly monstrous trout. Most people are unaware of the reasoning behind ladder fishing and its true purpose at Pyramid Lake. I hope to break down the elements and reasons for using ladders

Flows are Great All Over the River.

by MATT KOLES

Rolling right through Winter. Good solid fishing on the Truckee River. Remember, Winter is not the time for lots of fish, but quality fish, yes. Flows are great all over the river. 300 something here, and about 400 and change down in the desert. Really good for this time of year. The Truckee River could either be blown out around now, or very very low. About

Jiggs is Covered with Unsafe Ice.

Jiggs Reservoir (Zunino Reservoir)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Jiggs is covered with unsafe ice. NDOW will be operating an aerator to try to keep the lake from winterkill so the ice will be unsafe all winter. No report until ice off next spring.

Fishing Continues to Be Good

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Very little change here as much of the south marsh and units are covered in ice and last weekend while it was snowing travel was difficult. However, the roads should be better this week, though with the warmer days expect snow packed roads to be a bit slick. The collection ditch has a fair amount of ice on it but there are still spots of

Fishing for Trout Appears to Still be Good

Wild Horse Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Wildhorse is covered with 14 to 16 inches of ice with some snow on top. There are a very few areas with just a bit of slush, but not enough to worry about. Fishing for trout appears to still be good, with perch fishing being quite variable. Good one day and poor the next. The trick for trout seems to be in fairly shallow water

Fishing is Still Slow to Fair.

South Fork Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

South Fork has about seven to 10 inches of ice with some open water near the inlet at the south end of the lake. As of Wednesday, there was snow on the ice making it much safer to navigate than last week when it was very slick. Fishing is still slow to fair. Good areas to try include the cove at the main boat ramp,

Catching Quality Trout in the 16 to 20 inch Range

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Ice depths are highly variable on Comins Lake, with portions of open water on the south and north areas of the lake. Yet portions of the lake were covered with 10 to 14 inches of ice. Anglers should be very cautious when navigating the ice on the lake, particularly in the north lake area. Anglers may want to drill some test holes before venturing too

Fishing Has Been Fair to Good

Illipah Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The ice at Illipah Reservoir is approximately 9 to 10 inches on both sides of the old dam. Fishing has been fair to good for 10 to 15 inch trout. Anglers should do well fishing with power bait, night crawlers, meal worms, and flashy jigs.
