As of 03/19/24, officials at the State Park measured an average 12″ of ice near the boat ramp, with the edges of the reservoir just beginning to soften. Expect another week or so of suitable ice fishing conditions before we transition to the ice off. Remember, ice thickness is variable throughout the reservoir. Always sample the ice for yourself and come prepared with safety equipment. For a trout bite, try worms, jigs or PowerBait a few feet under the ice in depths up to 20 feet. For perch, jig a few feet off the bottom.

The new Nevada State Record for yellow perch was caught on 12/13/23. The fish weighed in at 1lb 9oz and measured 14.125 inches. Even with a catch this big, perch fishing will remain slow and fish will be small due to the die off last year.
