Wilson Reservoir Fishing Report

Wilson Reservoir

The water level is at a seasonal 45% of capacity and fishing for trout is good, while fishing for bass is fair. Trout are hitting hares ears, PT nymphs, red copper Johns, red brassies and chironomid patterns.

Dry Fly Fishing Continues to be Productive

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing continues to be very good for fly fishermen using a variety of presentations as the fish are getting as much food as they can before the lake freezes over. Dry fly fishing continues to be productive as has stripping small leech and bugger patterns. Hoppers, stimulators, elk hair caddis, Adams, Griffith’s gnats, red quills and just about any small dry fly should still work.

South Fork Reservoir Fishing Report

South Fork Reservoir

Earlier in the week surface water temperatures were in the low 60’s. With the precipitation we received earlier this week expect them to have dropped into the 50’s and the algae to start clearing up. Hopefully, trout fishing will start picking up. With the lower water temperatures, expect bass fishing to slow down. Fly rodders should be using chironomids, hares ears, flash back PT nymphs,

Fly Fishermen Have Been Doing Well with Dry Flies

Very little change here with surface water temperatures cooling down, fishing at Cave Lake is good. Trout have moved up in the water column with the cooler water.

Dry Fly Fishing has Been Excellent

Hobart Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing has been excellent. Although, fishing did slow slightly during the mid-summer heat. Hobart has been very popular this year which has demanded lighter lines and tippets to catch fish. Dry fly fishing has been excellent when the wind is calm with small terrestrials and a few callibaetis mayflies in the afternoons. Small parachute Adams are an excellent choice for matching the callibaetis at Hobart.

The Recent Stocking Event has Improved the Fishing for Trout

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing has been slow with the majority of the catch being channel catfish. The recent stocking event has improved the fishing for trout and should continue to be good on the dam end of the lake. The largemouth bass are showing up in solid numbers in the shallows. As summer continues, the trout fishing will slow at the north/inlet end of the lake. Spin fisherman

Fishing has Been Excellent with Flows Closer to Normal

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

It’s really been an up and down season for the Carson, primarily being up. Flows remained pretty high till the end of June keeping much of the fishing limited. Since then, fishing has been excellent with flows closer to normal fall levels now. The parks and bridges where stocking occurs has definitely been the most consistent option. Bait fisherman using light lines and leaders drifting

A Few Large Walleye Have Been Caught this Season

Lahontan Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The bass have been a little inconsistent but when you find them, expect to hook up often. The cooler overnight lows have the fish less active in the morning making afternoons and evening the best bet. Spin fisherman using chartreuse and white jigs, kastmasters, and small spinners are finding fish along sandy beaches. Fly fisherman are finding bass on bright streamers along many of the

East Walker River Fishing Report

East Walker River (NV)

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing continues to be excellent on the East Walker. It did slow slightly due to extended high temps but will bounce back quickly with fall nearly here.

Nymph fishing has slowed slightly but streamer fishing has gotten better with the recent unstable

Chimney Dam Reservoir Report

Chimney Dam Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing is fair to slow for walleye, crappie, wiper and catfish. A few walleye are being caught slowly trolling minnow imitations or worm harnesses. Trolling faster with rapala minnow imitations is a good method for walleye as well. For crappie use bright colored jigs in the flooded vegetation. The few that fly fish Chimney Reservoir tend to stick with the chartreuse and yellow Clouser minnows.

We Should Continue to see Quality Fish

Knott Creek Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing has been good and should remain that way until the season close. For the fly fisherman, damsels are still out in good numbers but the best bet has been on leech patterns. Fishing from shore will be possible again after a few good hard freezes knock out some of the suspended vegetation. Trolling leech patterns for larger aggressive trout has been the most popular

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

We are expecting another great opener for Pyramid this year, with bait balls near shore already being reported. For fly anglers streamer fishing tends to be best this time of year and a good Tui Chub imitation will be a must for a successful day. A storm is expected to move in Tuesday through Wednesday and should further improve shore fishing. Anglers looking to use
