Topaz Lake Report and Week 1 Derby Results

by DOUG BUSEY
Hello fellow anglers, Fishing at Topaz Lake is off to a good start for 2019. The weather cooperated, with the only drawback was that the morning temperature on January 1st was 9 degrees at 6:30 am. But warmed up to a nice 38 for a high.  There were many boats on the lake and most drove respectful of fellow trollers.  You can tell some were

Eagle Valley Reservoir Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Ice along the north side of the lake has finally thickened up enough for angler access in some areas. Nevertheless, use extreme caution.  Along the dam and in front of the fishing dock, the ice is still too thin to walk on.  Holes can be drilled through the ice along the fishing pier.  Angers can remain on the structure while fishing.  A good bait option

Echo Canyon Reservoir Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
Action has been a little slow, but one lucky angler caught rainbow trout with a crappie jig that had a chartreuse and white tail. Ice along the dam was 3- to 4-inches thick. For up-to-date ice conditions contact Echo Canyon State Park at 775-962-5103.  

Shad Patterns are Working Best for Striped Bass

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
One lucky angler caught a 7-pound striper while throwing a swimbait from his kayak.  Shad patterns are working best for striped bass.  Rainbow trout plants have been put on hold until the Willow Beach Fish Hatchery reopens. The trout are biting on night crawlers and PowerBait. Anglers should keep an eye on the weather and pay attention to wind advisories.  

Stripers and Trout are Biting About 40 Feet from Shore

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The few reports we have gotten from Lake Mohave are saying stripers and trout are biting about 40 feet from shore.  Stripers are hitting swimbaits along shorelines with drop offs.  The Willow Beach National Fish Hatchery will not be releasing trout until the federal government reopens.  

Las Vegas Urban Ponds Fishing Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The Nevada Department of Wildlife planted rainbow trout just after the New Year at the Beatty pond, Hafen Park in Mesquite, and at the Floyd Lamb and Lorenzi Park ponds.  If the weather holds, Sunset Park and Veterans Memorial Park are expected to receive a load of rainbows sometime this week.  Anglers have been catching the fish with PowerBait or small spinning lures.  

Stripers are Biting on Live Shad & Shad Imitations

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE
The water level is down nearly a foot from this time last year but is expected to increase gradually over the next month or so.  Whether fishing from the shore or from a boat, be prepared to make adjustments in your technique as that change occurs.  Stripers are biting on live shad as well as shad imitations.  Look for shad in the Government Wash and

Rusty's Colorado River Fishing Report

by RUSTY
Slow is all I can say for now, I am not getting any word on our local striper bite.  We tend to get some of our larger fish coming in this time of year.  The water release and our weather is making it trying to get out there to even try and catch a fish.  Our local angler Jackson Maki had some luck at rotary

Fishing is Good Though

by MATT KOLES
Big snows for the Truckee River. We got almost 2 feet here in the Hirsch over the weekend. Much more on top.  A good old fashioned Sierra storm system.  More on the way too.  Looks like systems should be coming in all week.  Storm door is open I guess for now.   Just have to time your fishing and traveling accordingly.  Trouts like rain and snow.

Rusty's Lake Mohave Fishing Report

by RUSTY
Well I am not sure what's up with the stripers here along the Colorado river.  The bite is on the slow side or it’s the cold and wind that is keeping our anglers indoors.  Our local angler Steve Pugh (Or Hot stick Steve owe) was able to take his Kayak out up on Lake Mohave and land a 6.94 pound striper at 26 inches.  He
