The bite has been slow in the mornings but picks up as the sun gets higher. Trollers are using flashers and crawlers or various Rapalas. Shore anglers are having the best luck on the south end with salmon peach or chartreuse PowerBait. Inflated crawlers have also been working.
Use caution early in the morning — there’s been a little ice on the lake and at the launch area. Watch your step.


Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to nevada@fishreports.com. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
