Dennis Dunn at the Wild Horse Resort (775) 758-6472: We've got 8 inches of snow on the ground (Monday morning) and 2 feet of ice with no slush.

Trout fishing has really picked up and both the trout and perch fishing is red-hot, right now.

The fishing has been excellent and we've had a lot of ice fishermen. The perch are down on the bottom (18-25 feet) and the trout are shallow (in about 3-4 feet of water, along the shoreline). The best place is still by the island in front of the state boat ramp. The biggest Perch have been 11 inches, and the rainbows are running up to 20-21 inches.

Fish with small Kastmaster lures or small, white-colored, lead-head jigs with a plastic tail, together with a tiny piece of worm, mealworm or cocktail shrimp on the hook. Drop that combination down to the bottom, bring it up about 1-2 turns on the reel handle and slowly jig, up and down.
