Nevada Fish Reports

I'm just guessing, but most of the alpine lakes are icing up and while this one is a bit lower, it is in shadow during the warmest part of the day, which is the afternoon and I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't starting to ice up.

Little or no change here as the water level and temps are favorable to fishing. The surface water temps are in the low to mid 40's and the west third of the lake is seeing most of the action, though you should be able to catch fish almost anywhere. The old riverbed is always a good choice to fish as the larger fish hang off

Fishing is picking up as temperatures continue to cool off. Small flies, worms and spinners are all working.

With the pike problem, both bass and trout fishing has been poor.

Now that the weather is cooling off, fishing has been fair to good. The usual baits are working.

Gene St. Denis: I've been fishing 50-200 feet deep at Ski Run Shelf and Camp Richardson. Trolling with silver Herring Dodger flasher blades and minnows. Bouncing off the bottom in a serpentine pattern. Macks are small, 2-7 pounds.

Gene St. Denis of Blue Ribbon Charters and Tahoe Trophy Trout at South Lake Tahoe, Calif. (530-544-6552): The fishing has been very good to excellent. We have been trolling 50-240 feet deep.
