Nevada Fish Reports

The lake level has gone down a little more, but there is still plenty of water to play in and on. I fished from shore this week with my better half, Renee—which, as always, she schools me! We fished with PowerBait on the south end for four hours and did not get one bite. I spoke to a couple of trollers this week, and they

Water levels are approximately 2 feet below the bottom of the boat ramp, so boats cannot launch at this time. Water temperatures are measuring in the low 70’s at the boat ramp in the afternoon and there is still quite a bit of vegetation growing in the shallows. Bass fishing has still been good with fish over 15″ reported. As of 09/03/26 the BLM has

Water levels are very low, but trout fishing is still productive around springs and deeper areas of the reservoir. Fishing should improve as temperatures drop. Small spinners and spoons from shore have been great in addition to power bait and crawlers off the bottom. Fly fisherman have done well using large dries early and late in the day. Small streamer flies have been effective when

Jakes Creek Reservoir is low and weedy. Weeds may inhibit shoreline access.  Anglers should access the middle of the reservoir with kayaks, float-tubes, etc. for better opportunity. Water temperatures remain in the low 70’s.  Bass fishing is fair, with fish in the 11-13 inch range being caught. Try soft plastics in darker colors with a little sparkle. Catfishing has also been fair, with just a

Due to critically low water levels, most remaining fish were salvaged and transported to South Fork Reservoir. Jiggs Reservoir is near dry.

Water levels are down and weeds are up, but fishing remains decent. Due to lowering water, the Narciss boat ramp is not easily navigable. Fishing is still fair to good in the collection ditch for rainbow trout and tiger trout, with a few brown trout also being picked up. Fly anglers are reporting success with trout on nymphs like the copper john and gold-ribbed hare’s

Low water levels are limiting any boating except for float tubes, pontoon boats, or small car-topper vessels. Reservoir is approximately 12-15 ft in elevation below the bottom of the boat ramp. Limited fishing shoreline opportunities for crappie, channel catfish, and Lahontan Cutthroat Trout. Anglers should use caution accessing the east end of the reservoir due to soft ground. The shoreline around the boat ramp towards

Fishing will be good this fall for Rainbow Trout. Water level is down 2-3 feet but still accessible for shoreline access to launch float tubes, pontoon boats, kayaks, etc. The vegetation is dense around the shoreline areas which will limit access some and anglers are recommended to use the south end for launching. Shore anglers will find access on the dam and west shore. Water

Water temperatures are sitting at approximately 68F.  Spring stocking has been completed. Cave Lake has received 21,169 Rainbow Trout averaging 8.9 inches.  Anglers should expect to catch 8–11-inch Rainbow Trout and the occasional 9-inch Brown Trout.  There are still a few large 20-inch plus Brown Trout in the lake that have carried over since the draw down of the lake for dam repairs.  Anglers will

Cold Creek Reservoir is still sitting at ~50% of full, with water temperatures sitting at 720F.  Fishing off the dam, west and northern shorelines should produce trout and Largemouth Bass.  Small watercraft will produce good catch rates on both trout species present on the lake.  Several 12-to-14-inch Rainbow Trout have been caught recently on spinners. Tiger Trout are being caught a dry flies. PowerBait, night

The herbicide treatment at Comins Lake has concluded and the lake is open again.  Water temperatures are setting at approximately 660F; a much-needed reprieve from the long summer. There are still plenty of large 16+ inch trout available, but the spring stocking has diluted their numbers.  Trout activity should be picking up with cooler daytime temperatures and storm systems coming through.  Trout are being caught

Water temperatures are sitting at 68F and the reservoir itself is sitting at ~45% of capacity. Rainbow Trout are fairly active right now with several Brown Trout being caught based on angler dropbox surveys.  Numerous trout can be seen rising from the shoreline.  The reservoir has received its full allotment of 5,584 Rainbow Trout through spring stocking, averaging 8.9 inches.  Anglers can expect to catch
