Topaz Lake Fishing Report

I braved the heat and left my boat at home. I fished the shore a few places and the fishing was slow, but productive. I caught a 2lb rainbow and a 1lb rainbow using rainbow Powerbait. I fished from 7am until noon when I ran out of shade on the south end of the lake. I talked with a couple trollers that said they had only had a few hits and a few small rainbows. This time of year, you need to get there early and fish in deeper waters. Now if you want to have fun with some smallmouth bass. Use a small spinner on the west side of the lake right off the shore. I also noted that the lake has dropped about 4 to 5 feet.
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.
