Algae is in Full Bloom With the Hot Sunny Weather

Nevada Department of Wildlife

Report Date:

Algae is in full bloom with the hot sunny weather.  The outflow continues to be about 100 cfs and the water level has dropped a foot in the last 10 days.  Expect poor fishing conditions starting in mid to late July.  Very little change at this time as fishing continues to be good for perch and bass and fair to good for trout. Surface water temperatures are in the high 60’s and pushing 70 degrees. Expect buggers, leeches and small nymphs such as copper Johns, hares ears and PT’s to all be working. Low light conditions may induce some dry fly action.  Bait anglers should be using worms fished off the bottom or suspended about five feet below a bobber.  Small spinners should also be effective. With the surface water temperatures heating up trout are moving into deeper water. Bass anglers have had success with orange pumpkin and green pumpkin soft plastics as well as perch-colored crankbaits. Orange or gold has also been a good color for perch, bass and trout. Probably imitates the color of perch fry. Expect to catch several perch between bass and trout hookups. Wildhorse was stocked with approximately 41,500 trout this spring.  No black bass may be kept until July 1.
