Nevada Fish Reports


Fishing Well

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
Continues to fish well, especially for those who have boats! Now down to 15-30 fish days for some and the size of the Cutthroats are still good. This time of year it's better to get out prior to a High Pressure system moving in, that means windy with or without precip is ideal. Best when wind is coming at you as opposed

Be Prepared

by MOUNTAIN HARDWARE & SPORTS
Current flows are decent and with a lot of ice and slush along most the river any fishing will be tough. If you do find some open water(fish will be in the deeper pools with some sort of flow) you'll be throwing midges and Baetis patterns. Rain coming in on Friday and then giving away to intermittant snow showers Saturday and Sunday.

Eagle Valley Fish Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The ice is 18 to 24 inches thick on most of the reservoir. There are few spots where it is only eight to 10 inches. PowerBait continues to catch fish. One angler limited out quickly while using corn-scented PowerBait.

Use Caution

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Ice conditions have been good this week, averaging about six inches throughout the reservoir. Anglers are encouraged to use caution as there are some thinner spots along the shoreline. There has been very low pressure on the reservoir recently, so if you are looking for a lonely place to go fishing this may be the spot.

Trout Planting Coming This Week

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Trout plants are scheduled at Rotary Park and Davis Camp this week. The trout tend to move downriver from these two locations after being released. Yellow and red PowerBait have been catching the fish. Li’l Jakes are catching feeding stripers. Shore fishing has been successful.

Willow Beach has Stripers

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Striper action has picked up at Willow Beach. Folks at the marina store recently weighed in a pair of fish that went 15.28 and 12.80 pounds. The big stripers were caught using Bomber Long A and Red Fin lures.

Stripers Scattered

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Anglers are finding striped bass at scattered locations around the reservoir, but most reports of caught fish are coming from the west side of the Boulder Basin. The fish are reportedly ranging from two to five pounds, even along the shoreline. Fishermen are using anchovies, top-water lures, and live shad when available.

Stripers Slow

by TODD TYLER
Todd Tyler checked in from Cottonwood Cove Marina at Lake Mohave in the Nevada desert. The Striped Bass fishing is slow. The fish are in deep waters. Those catching stripers are using Bucktail Jigs. All of the fish are in the North part of the lake right now. There has not been much information about Largemouth or Smallmouth Bass.

Truckee River Fish Report

by MATT KOLES
Clearing out for the week, sunny mild weather until this weekend. Good time to get on the river if you haven’t fished the Truckee River in a while. We have water again, good flows, and fat healthy fish. Hopefully the parade of storms continues into spring and we have a stockpile of water. It looks as if that will happen. Flows are about 250 cfs here in

by PAUL NELSON
KTVN Channel 2 - Reno Tahoe News Weather, Video - Rye Patch Reservoir has been known for some of its large game fish, but a substantial fish die-off could have a huge impact on fish populations.
