Topaz Lake Fishing Report

The lake level has continued to drop, which makes the fishing just a little better in my book. There are a few spots that can be difficult to fish when the water is high. Most trollers have been doing well with silver/black or perch F3 or F5 Rapalas while toplining. The old standby flashers have also been doing well with a threaded half a nightcrawler. The shore action has been hit and miss—three or four fish one day and one the next. Inflated crawlers or salmon peach or sherbet PowerBait, fished with an 18-inch leader, have been productive.
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.
