Yep its still hot here. Our fishing has slowed just a bit mostly due to the heat. It seems only the hardy are out there. But the good news we have a good striper run going on.

Fishing Will Likely Continue to be Great!

Hobart Reservoir

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing has been excellent. Although, fishing did slow slightly during the mid-summer heat. Hobart has been very popular this year which has demanded lighter lines and tippets to catch fish. Dry fly fishing has been excellent when the wind is calm with small terrestrials and a few callibaetis mayflies in the afternoons. Small parachute Adams are an excellent choice for matching the callibaetis at Hobart.

Fishing has Been Good this Season and it will Pick-Up

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing has been good this season and it will pick-up with the cooler temps on the way. Recently, burnt orange leech and sheep creek specials slowly retrieved on sinking or sink tip lines have been the best bet. Fish will likely spend more time in the shallows and on the surface with the season change. Small terrestrials and midge patterns will likely draw a strike

Fishing continues to be excellent on the East Walker. It did slow slightly due to extended high temps but will bounce back quickly with fall nearly here.

Chimney Dam Reservoir Report

by NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE

Fishing is fair to slow for walleye, crappie, wiper and catfish. A few walleye are being caught slowly trolling minnow imitations or worm harnesses. Trolling faster with rapala minnow imitations is a good method for walleye as well. For crappie use bright colored jigs in the flooded vegetation. The few that fly fish Chimney Reservoir tend to stick with the chartreuse and yellow Clouser minnows.

Early Morning Rapalas or Thomas Buoyants

by DOUG BUSEY

Water level is way down. For boaters, watch those willow bushes on the north end. They are just visible above the water line. Make sure to keep an eye on the depth finder as those places you fished a month ago, are at least 10 feet shallower. Early morning Rapalas or Thomas Buoyants have been producing fish. Flasher and a worm have also been productive.
