Completely Covered with Ice

Cold Creek Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Lots of snow and the lake is 100% ice covered. You can’t drive to the lake, but you can walk down from the main road. However, no word on the thickness, so drill a test hole close to shore before venturing upon it. No report on how the fishing is here.

Access to Lake is Difficult

Illipah Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

This lake is covered approximately 10 to 12 inches of ice with six inches to a foot of snow at last report. Expect good fishing using the usual assortment of jigs, worms and PowerBait. Local anglers like to use a black marabou jig tipped with a worm. Access to the lake is difficult due to snow depth. It is 4WD only and anglers should be

Snow is Around

Kirch Wildlife Management Area

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Winter storms dropped up to seven inches of snow on the ground making getting around difficult without 4-wheel drive. One group of anglers did well through about five inches of ice. They caught their limit of rainbow trout using worms on jigs or chartreuse and glitter Power Eggs.

Ice is Think

Eagle Valley Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Ice and snow came in abundance over the weekend. The ice remains between 10 and 24 inches thick across most of the reservoir. Those few brave souls who have ventured out on the ice have found good fishing with night crawlers or PowerBait.

Ice Conditions are Good

Echo Canyon Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

This is still one of the most underutilized waters with few anglers being seen on the reservoir. Ice conditions are good following the storm system that passed through over the weekend.

Stripers Slow

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Striper fishing was slow this last week. Fishermen did manage to pull some striped bass from depths of about 100-140 feet. Shad have been the most productive bait when they can be caught. Jigging spoons and trolling with downriggers also have caught fish. Some anglers have been catching black bass from depths of about 40 feet. These fish have been hitting jigs and drop shot

Trout Fishing is Good

Colorado River - Laughlin

by IVY SANTEE

Trout fishing is good along the Colorado River. PowerBait, night crawlers and spinner are all bringing the rainbow trout in. Some anglers have limited out at Davis Camp with fish ranging from planter size to as large as 20 inches. Striped bass and catfish action are both slow. Sunshine Peninsula has been a good spot to catch them.

Striper fishing is Good

by IVY SANTEE

The only fish being reported are striped bass. Fishermen have caught fish as large as eight pounds out of Cottonwood Cove using a boat early in the morning. Fishing from a boat near Willow Beach has proven successful for stripers as well. Swimbaits and top-water lures have been catching fish.

Ponds due to be Stocked

Las Vegas Urban Ponds

by IVY SANTEE

Barring unforeseen problems, such as strong winter storm systems, the local ponds are due to be stocked this week. The few reports that have come in say that trout are taking PowerBait or mealworms, along with small spinners and spoons.

Big Truckee Update

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Current flows are starting to come down as a lot of rain fell all day last Friday. River peaked at 2450 CFS on Saturday! Good for the river as it hasn't seen flows like those for years now. As water comes back into shape Hirschdale and the larger pools around the diversion dam and stateline have been the spots. Streamers, Baetis,

Pyramid Lake Fish Report

by LIZ WEIRAUCH

Pyramid Lake is in it's doldrums ... this does not mean fish aren't being caught, it just means you work a bit longer. Spawn will be starting in about 6 - 8 weeks and the fish will come in close to the shore, cruising like a wolf pack. We've gotten several calls from people wanting to float tube Pyramid... a word

Truckee River Update

by LIZ WEIRAUCH

Reports from NDOW shocking survey on the Truckee River was a pleasant surprise. The survey's confirmed that the river did lose a high percentage of the larger fish, though some larger fish were measured. The pleasant surprise was the amount of the newer generations that did survive the warm waters. Knowing that brown trout survive slightly higher water temperatures, they see a

Spring Predictions

by MATT KOLES

I have not been out to Pyramid Lake in a bit. The fishing has been solid at the lake the last month though. Take a look at Instagram, seems like everyone is out there roping big fish. I’ve been busy on the river around the house here, but will get back out there. This spring will probably go nuts out there.

Big Flows this past Weekend

by MATT KOLES

Things got real big over the weekend. Flows on the Truckee River got up over 2,000 cfs here in the Hirsch, and over 3,000 through Reno pretty much overnight on Friday. Heavy, heavy rains. We haven’t seen flows that big since winter 2012. Flows like that are usually a fairly common occurrence every winter, we just haven’t had those pulsing flows in a while- been no

Watch out for the Wind

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS

Still fishing well here but be careful for those windy fall days if you are utilizing a boat! This lake is notorious for capsizing boats!
