The fishing has been hit and miss. Half a night crawler or salmon eggs have been the best options when the bite is on.


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.
