Nevada Fish Reports


The lake continues to fish well this week

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
Whenever we think to ourselves “It can’t stay this good all season”, we are happily proven wrong. The lake continues to fish well this week, at least on the overcast and stormy days. When the fish begin to come in shallow and school up in their pre-spawn behavior, the storm systems will be far less important, and the fishing will be good most days. Typically, these

We are currently seeing very good fishing conditions on the river

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
We are currently seeing very good fishing conditions on the river. Flows are right around, or slightly above average for this time of year and the water is holding just that perfect level of tint. We are likely to see low and warm water later in the year and this spring will certainly be the best time to fish any freestone rivers like the Truckee. While

The lake level has gone up a couple feet

by DOUG BUSEY
The lake level has gone up a couple feet. The water temp was 47 degrees and the weather on Wednesday was perfect with no "W". The fishing was a little slow to start. Renee and I trolled most of the lake with all of our hits coming in on the east side.  We trolled various colors and sizes of Raplalas deep and shallow. We managed

Park officials measured 9-10 inches of ice off the boat ramp with 4-6 inches of slush on top

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
As of 2/27/25, park officials measured 9″-10” of ice off the boat ramp with 4″-6″ of slush on top. Afternoon air temps are forecasted into the high 40s and low 50s within the next week, so slushy conditions are expected to continue. In the coves of Hendricks Arm and Penrod Arm, anglers are reporting ice 10″-12″. Anglers are reporting variable ice throughout the reservoir with

South Fork Reservoir is entirely open water. As of 2/27/25, State Park staff has opened the main boat ramp for the season.

The water levels were recently lowered to repair the low-level outlet in November

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The water levels were recently lowered to repair the low-level outlet in November. The water has recovered nicely and there should be decent shoreline fishing along most of the reservoir. The reservoir was not stocked this fall due to the draw down.  Normal stocking efforts should resume in the spring.

Comins Lake has approximately 95 percent open water

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Comins Lake has approximately 95% open water.  There is one larger chunk of ice in the narrows separating the north lake and south lakes, limiting boat access to just the north lake.  Anglers can shoreline fish the northern portion of the lake or even launch a boat (dock will go in later this spring) and troll for trout and Northern Pike.  Decent size trout continue

The only remaining ice is on the south end near the creek inlet

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Illipah Reservoir has 85% open water.  The only remaining ice is on the south end near the creek inlet.  Anglers can access nearly the entire western shoreline and can even launch a boat and access most of the lake.  Recent angler contacts revealed rainbow trout in the 11-to-13 inch range being caught, with an occasional brown trout being caught.

Riviera Marina Fishing Report

by RUSTY
Hey, it's me again! I landed these fish using a Panther Martin spinner, yellow with red spots. I really like this one—it works well in our area. When fishing for trout, spinners are fun, and anglers have a lot of choices. Some work great, while others that might work in lakes just can’t seem to get the trout to bite. If your lure isn’t catching

Ruby Lake is almost entirely ice-free

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Ruby Lake is almost entirely ice-free. The collection ditch is mostly ice-free and fishing should be fair to good for trout. Fishing will pick up when the spring stockings occur. All areas of the Refuge are accessible. Harrison Pass is open, but requires four wheel drive due to mud and snow. Special Regulations: Artificial lures only in the collection ditch. Minimum size for black bass is

This season has been incredible so far

by PYRAMID LAKE FLY FISHING
This season has been incredible so far. Way better than the last two or three years up to this date in the season. It really does not make a lot of sense because the fish that we are catching were alive and well somewhere in the lake then also, they have just shown up more this season. It’s a big lake. The bad thing about

The fishing continues to be solid at the salty pond

by THE FLY SHOP
The fishing continues to be solid at the salty pond, with good numbers of fish cruising the shorelines. Pick your favorite beach and be ready for an opportunity at a high-teen to 20lber. Cold weather with lows in the mid 20's and highs up near 40 as expected. There have been significantly more big fish caught this season than last. Indicator nymphing with Balanced Leeches

The Sceirine has fished well this past week

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
The Sceirine has fished well this past week as stated above, streamers and nymphs seem to be the best way to go!               

We’ve had a few reports from the river this past week and they’ve all been pretty good!

by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
We’ve had a few reports from the river this past week and they’ve all been pretty good! Down near the “Elbow” there has been some good action with lots of small fish slapping dries but if you want to get into some of the larger fish you need to hit up the Rosachi and/or Sceirine and throw some good sized streamers as well as nymphs. We’ve

Anglers will find ice along the shoreline in the morning

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Anglers will find ice along the shoreline in the morning. As the day warms up, the ice opens up, giving anglers the chance to throw spinners or relax with some PowerBait. Bright colors are working the best. Shore fishing access is available along the dam and at the north end.

Fishing opportunities are very limited

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The water level has been dropped to facilitate repairs on the dam and will be low until further notice. The shoreline is soft and muddy in many places. Fishing opportunities are very limited.

Anglers have been successful from the shoreline as well boats in their search for double-digit stripers

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Anglers have been successful from the shoreline as well boats in their search for double-digit stripers. Jointed swimbaits, many from local lure builders, are catching the fish. Cut anchovies are taking smaller stripers. Rainbow trout are biting along Casino Row and through The Bend. Sunset PowerBait and spinners will get the most bite action.

Anglers are catching striped bass and rainbow trout throughout the Willow Beach area

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Anglers are catching striped bass and rainbow trout throughout the Willow Beach area. The federal fish hatchery is stocking the trout near the Willow Beach Fishing Pier at the end of each week. The rainbows tend to school up after being released. Trout tend to take Rooster Tails and night crawlers right after sunrise. Striped bass, some in the double digits, are chasing jointed swimbaits

Stocked rainbow trout are taking a variety of brightly colored PowerBaits or night crawlers

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Stocked rainbow trout are taking a variety of brightly colored PowerBaits or night crawlers. On warm afternoons night crawlers are also catching the occasional catfish.  Rainbow trout have been stocked in all fishable ponds in the last few weeks.

The bass bite was tougher for most of the past week as the fish moved deeper

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The bass bite was tougher for most of the past week as the fish moved deeper. Stripers are hitting live shad and cut anchovies the most, but three-inch silver swimbaits are a solid backup option. Kastmasters and Jumpin’ Minnows also can be productive for subsurface fish. Anglers are seeing some crappie action with jigs in the Overton Arm.
