Kingston Creek is flowing well below normal

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Kingston Creek is flowing well below normal and fishing is difficult except in the pools and on springheads. Small dry flies are the way to go here. As of September 30, Kingston Creek was flowing at 2.23 cfs which is about a third of normal.

As of September 30, the Bruneau River was flowing at a low 3.5 cfs

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Flows are very low and fishing is poor. Fish are occasionally hitting dry flies and with the low flows, fishing nymphs is almost impossible except in the pools and spring heads. Hoppers, yellow stimulators, yellow or tan elk hair caddis, ant and beetle patterns should all work where fish can be found. Expect poor fishing here due to low water all summer. As of September

As of September 30, Lamoille Creek was flowing at 3.2 cfs

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

As of September 27 the road was open above the Terraces Picnic area and we aren’t sure if they are going to close the road for much needed road repairs as stated in an earlier press release or not. However, if they do, foot traffic will be allowed access to the creek above the closure. Drivers will be able to turn around at the Terraces.

As of September 30, the East Fork of the Owyhee below the dam was flowing at 2.78 cfs

Owyhee River - East Fork

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

The water out of the Wildhorse just a trickle and fishing is difficult in much of the stream. Some of the larger pools have been productive for trout, with those closer to the dam having reservoir fish while those further down the canyon producing wild trout in the 10 to 15 inch size. Anglers report good fishing near the USFS Wildhorse Crossing Campground with dries.

Cleve Creek has poor flows

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Cleve Creek has poor flows. Fishing the small pools and springheads is the best option for anglers. However, even in these spots the water is warm and fishing is poor. Very small dry flies are the way to go. As of September 30, Cleve Creek was flowing at a low 3.54 cfs which is about half of normal.
