Fishing has been best up on the north end for mackinaws around the McKinney Bay area or Dollar Point. Keep an eye on your depth finder. There are some sharp ledges up there, but that is what holds the fish in the area.

A dodger and a live minnow in 150 to 200 feet of water has been the ticket. Some anglers have been doing well with tube jigs off the Camp Richardson area. A few kokanee have been caught down on the south/southwest end of the lake.

Now, even though the holiday has passed, there is still a lot of boat traffic out there, so be careful of others—especially the ones not paying attention to where they are going.

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.
