Fishing at Lahontan remains very good. Two anglers were checked Sunday fishing 6 hours and catching 31 white bass, 5 crappie and one largemouth bass. Although not large, 6 to 12 inches, the fish were abundant and hungry. The walleye, although not as numerous, are still being caught. A few anglers are targeting "boils" near shore for 5 to 10 pound wipers that are feeding on the yellow perch young-of-the-year. Fish with lures, flies or bait slow and close to or on the bottom. All parts of the reservoir are good, although the majority of the action is taking place in the dam side of the reservoir. Night fishing for catfish should start picking up. There is an over abundance of small white catfish. Two potential State Trophy Certificates arrived at NDOW Headquarters including a 3-pound white crappie and a 22-pound wiper.
