The Kokanee salmon are showing up in three sizes: 6, 10 or 15 inches. They are 40-80 feet deep in 200-400 feet of water. Use flashers with a Red Magic lure, tipped with a kernel of corn. The Kokanee go deeper as the sun comes up.?Į

We got an 800 pound plant of rainbows last week from the state. This week, we are getting a 1,000 pound plant from Alpine County, which includes rainbows up to 10 pounds. Our biggest fish caught, so far this year, is 9.1 pounds. A couple of nights ago, I was casting Salmon eggs with my fly rod, and on 5 casts, I had 5 fish.

Lahontan Reservoir Fish Report 08-30-07

by DON QUILICI
This is an excellent time to fish from a float tube due to the low water levels. Nieves Reyes of Yerington caught a 9.75 pound Channel Catfish while casting a red/black Panther/Martin lure from his float tube at the cove at Beach No. 3. Madison, 10, and Gabrielle, 8, Richards of Silver Springs caught a 5 pound Walleye on nightcrawlers at Beach No. 3, toward

Ruby Lake Fish Report 08-29-07

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Water levels are declining, though the water level is at the refuges objective for this time of year. The springs are producing very little water, so trout fishing has dropped off. Some fish are being caught from the dikes, but for the most part, they are too small to keep. Anglers who know the marsh are catching limits, while those new to the marsh are

Wildhorse Reservoir Fish Report 08-29-07

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Last week you could only see 12 to 18 inches in the water due to the heavy algae growth. This week you can see 5 to 6 feet after the algae die-off that contributed to this week's fish kill. With the warm surface temperatures and the lack of oxygen fishing is very poor here and probably will be for the next couple of weeks.

Wilson Reservoir Fish Report 08-29-07

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Little or no change here as bass fishing continues to be fair to good and trout fishing is fair, though anglers are catching trout. For bass, rubber gear in either very dark or very bright colors is the ticket as well as crank baits. Trout and bass have been mostly active in the early morning or late evening. Fly rodders should try damsel patterns, mayflies,

Angel Lake Fish Report 08-29-07

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The lake level has dropped quite a bit, though there is no recent report on fishing conditions. However, this time of year fishing in early morning before the wind picks up appears to be the best. Damsels, mayflies, midge patterns and small wooly buggers all work. Flies such as humpies, royal Wulffs and Kaufmann stimulators may make for some good surface action.

South Fork Reservoir Fish Report 08-29-07

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Not much change here as anglers continue to have to fight the weeds here, especially at the south end of the lake. Trout fishing is fair. Bass fishing is fair to good depending upon what time of day you fish. Early mornings and late evenings are still producing fish, especially along the dam and the rocky bluffs on the west side of the lake. For

Fishing is consistent as always, you just need to fish in the early morning to beat the heat. Small flies, worms and spinners are all working.

Lake Tahoe Fish Report 08-27-07

Some anglers have been catching rainbows trolling shallow near rock structure but be careful of shallow rock with your boat. Mackinaw or lake trout fishing has been producing some nice fish for those that have the right gear and knowledge. There are guides available for others. Shore fishing is fair for stocked rainbow trout. Cave Rock was last planted on August 3, 2007.
