Nevada Fish Reports

George and Carla Molino of the Pyramid Lake Store at (775) 476-0555: Boat fishing has been pretty good. Don Zinser of Reno caught a 15-pound, 13-ounce cutthroat, while trolling 30 feet deep at Pelican Point. He was using a silver spoon with green and orange flash tape. George (Pyramid Lake Charters) turned back a number of 6-7 pounders this last week. It seems as if

Andy at The Gilly Sporting Goods Store: The Truckee has been on fire, especially in the downtown area where NDOW planted a ton of fish. Try yellow Sallys or yellow Stone Flies in the early evenings. ?Į

Ideal conditions: Clear and low water. Lots and lots of fish.

odd Sodaro and Chad Machado of the Carson River Resort (877-694-2229): Fishing has been pretty darn good. The water is still high. The fish are hitting everthing: Bait, lures and flies. There is not a lot of fishing pressure due to the big fire at Tahoe. Tuesday, Dean Besone of Camino caught a 3-pound, 11-ounce rainbow on Salmon eggs. The state is planting pretty heavy

Chuck and Linda Fields at the Topaz Lake Marina (775-266-3550): Not much going on. It's pretty darn quiet out here. The trollers are catching fish in the middle of the lake at a depth of 25 feet with flashers and nightcrawlers. The lake is going down, it has dropped about 4-5 feet. Shore fishing has been pretty quiet, some fish but no limits. The water

Dennis Dunn, Mark, Rocket and Scott at the Wild Horse Resort (775) 758-6472: Fishing is excellent both from shore or in boats. Trolling has really turned on in the early mornings and late evenings. The trout have gone deeper due to the warm weather. Perch fishing is red hot. They are being caught on the bottom with nightcrawlers as fast as you can reel

Not a lot of change here. Fishing is in limbo as the water temperature is such that the trout fishing is slowing down and the bass fishing hasn't quite picked up yet. However, if these 70 to 80 degree days continue, which they are forecasting for the next week or so, then bass fishing may start to pick up by Memorial Day weekend. The ditch

Fishing has been good for trout especially in the Hendricks Arm using large(4"-6") minnow imitators. The best type of pattern appears to be a perch pattern and fish in the 10 to 17 inch range were mighty hungry. Even some 8 to 10 inch perch were hitting the 4" rapalas. Perch fishing is spotty, though once you find them fishing for them is fair to good

The road to Angel Lake is now open, though the lake is about 85-90 percent covered with ice. Some of the shorelines are opening up and the fish are always hungry after the long winter here. Bring small spinners, PowerBait, worms and small streamer and nymph fly patterns.

Fishing has been fair to good here also with wipers being caught by boaters trolling rooster tails in the area by the buoys at the south end of the lake. The best color appears to be brown. Trout fishing has been fair for shore anglers and fair to good for boaters with most fish being caught when trolling minnow imitators. Flyrodders should break out the

Illipah and Cave Lake are both fishing well. Night crawlers, PowerBait and spinners have been taking plump trout at each waterway.

Angler use at Comins Lake has dropped significantly along with the trout population in the reservoir. During recent years, illegally planted northern pike have decimated this world-class trout fishery. Some anglers are making the best of a bad situation and have been fishing for pike, but word is that most would like to see the trout fishery come back. The Nevada Department of Wildlife is

Illipah and Cave Lake are both fishing well. Night crawlers, PowerBait and spinners have been taking plump trout at each waterway.

Fishing has been fair to good for some anglers and slow to fair for others, said Pete Gill, supervisor at Spring Valley State Park where the reservoir is located. The key to success is knowing when to fish. Early mornings before it gets too hot and late evenings after the heat begins to drop are the most productive times. There was a pair of big

Trout are still biting at this Lincoln County reservoir with the best action coming in the early morning and late afternoon to early evening hours. Night crawlers and PowerBait are a good bet. Anglers are also catching largemouth bass and even a few crappie, though crappie action has slowed during the past couple of weeks. Fish the shady side of weed beds with a small

As a rule, the action for striped bass on Lake Mohave picks up in the spring. So far this year that has yet to happen, and has many anglers scratching their heads. The number of anglers on the lake dropped as daytime temperatures increased.

Fishing has been slow of late, even for anglers participating in a recent bass tournament. Participants had only one good day of fishing during the multi-day event. Striper fishermen are keeping an eye out for boils and the exciting top-water action that comes with them. Some boils have already been seen in the Overton Arm. Boils occur when shad leap from the water in huge
