The gate is open on the paved side now. I fished it last week and tried lures and PowerBait without a single hit, but I got there later in the afternoon. I recommend early mornings for better fishing—or should I say, catching!


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.
