Nevada Fish Reports

While access may be a bit tougher this week here in California due to this current storm, the lower river east of Sparks will not get hit as bad by this weather and should continue to fish well. This last week we saw river temps down here reach 45 degrees and the BWO’s have certainly responded with some great mid-day hatches. While we expect those

Ice as thick as 20″ has been reported at the reservoir. In some areas there may be up to a foot of snow atop the ice. New snow and strong winds have occasionally been causing access issues through the State Recreation Areas due to large drifts. Before heading out, check the Wild Horse SRA Facebook page for the most up to date road and parking

The southwest shore between Coyote Cove, Jet Ski Beach, and Fisherman’s Point remains at about 12″ – 14″ of solid ice. The areas of Tomera Cove and the Boat Ramp have 8″-9″  inches.  Expect several inches on snow atop the ice and some areas with deeper drifts. Rainbow trout fishing is fair. The bite is very light, be sure to have your rod in hand

Ice is covering 50% of the reservoir. Ice thickness was not tested and is high variable.  The road around the reservoir is not plowed so access is limited.  Anglers can expect to catch 8-to-10-inch rainbow trout and 8-to-10-inch tiger trout.

Comins Lake is 100% ice covered with a few small areas with weak ice present. Most areas that were sampled had 19-to-20 inches of solid ice.  Fishing has been good on both the north and south lakes. Anglers can expect to catch 14-to-18-inch rainbow trout and the occasional brown trout and possibly a tiger trout. Trout are being caught on a variety of lures, jigs,

As of 2/23/23, the road into Illipah Reservoir is snowed in.  Access may be possible with vehicles that are chained up but NDOW personnel did not reach the reservoir this week. The water level in Illipah Reservoir continues to recover from the lows of irrigation season.  At last report, the reservoir is covered with 10 inches of solid ice.   Anglers should expect to catch 8-to-12-inch

With good hatches of Baetis beginning to show in the lower river east of Sparks, the Skwalas nearing emergence here in California, and the big aggressive fish looking more regularly at a well presented streamer, there are a lot of good ways to find fish on the river right now. While using nymphs under an indicator will still remain the most consistent day to day,
