Some Areas With Open Water

Kirch Wildlife Management Area

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

There are some areas on the reservoirs with open water where rainbow trout fishing could be good. Nighttime temperatures are still dropping below the freezing mark, so anglers will have to contend with ice along the shorelines. Any ice is too thin to walk on. It is still too cold for bass.

Ice Fishing Remains Good

Eagle Valley Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Ice fishing remains good, but anglers should always verify conditions before venturing onto the ice. Rainbow trout have been taking night crawlers and a variety of PowerBait options.

Ice Conditions Vary Day By Day

Echo Canyon Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Anglers are still seeing ice along the edges. The water is starting to rise, which means ice conditions will vary by the day. Fishing pressure has been minimal, but those who get out are catching rainbow trout using orange and chartreuse PowerBait. The campgrounds and all facilities are open.

Striper Bites Are Hit and Miss

Colorado River - Laughlin

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Rainbow trout are providing most of the action on the river. Anglers fishing from boats and the shoreline are catching their 5-fish limits on PowerBait, night crawlers and spinners. Striper bites are hit and miss, but anglers have caught fish as large as 10 pounds on anchovies and trout swimbaits.

Reports Are Striper Are Coming In

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Reports of striper catches are coming in at both the north and south ends of the reservoir. Boaters have been most successful using X-Rap jerkbaits in shad and minnow patterns. Black bass action remains slow, probably due to cooler temperatures that have moved in. Kayakers at Willow Beach are catching rainbow trout on soft plastic worms in pearl and olive colors. Shore anglers are catching

A Few Catfish Are Biting on Warmer Evenings

Las Vegas Urban Ponds

Anglers Are Averaging 5 Fish A Day

17 Lb. Striper

Colorado River - Davis Dam

by RUSTY

We are still having a few anglers getting some stripers here along the Colorado river below the Davis Dam. From the reports I have been hearing about its in the casino area that has been producing the best. So far I would say from the bridge to just below Community park is a great area for both stripers and our rainbow trout. Our visiting angler

February Fishing at Pyramid Lake

by PYRAMID LAKE GUIDES

The weather on the lake has been all over the place, but the good fishing has remained consistent . We will start to see some pre-spawn action with more fish in the shallows soon. Despite popular belief, the recent full moon did not seem to affect the fishing at all. It appears that storms and barometric pressure have more of an effect on the lake

Flows Are Down And Bugs Are Out

by MATT KOLES

Mild weather on the Truckee River. Looks like this month may stay dry and mild. Hopefully, we can get some storms in March. Reno hit 70 last week. Most ski resorts are at about 80 percent of average on the upper mountains. We will need a good end of this month, or March to get back somewhat closer to average. There is water stored in the
