The lake is now ice free and is sitting at approximately 90% of capacity. Anglers will do well on nightcrawlers, spinners, and PowerBait. Fly rodders should be using olive or black wooly buggers, black leeches, red copper Johns, GR hares ears, PT nymphs and prince nymphs.
The road is closed, and the lake is ice covered. There will be no fishing reports for this lake until late spring or early summer depending upon the winter.
With snow on the mountains only the most experienced backcountry travelers should attempt to reach the lakes. The lakes are frozen, and fishing is done until summer. There will be no more fishing reports for the high alpine lakes until late spring or early summer depending upon the winter.
Snow, ice, and muddy bank conditions are making fishing difficult. Stream flows are up a bit over the past week. In northern Elko County, where the snow pack is the best, stream flows have increased significantly and some are unfishable. However, most streams in eastern Nevada are still well below normal. As of April 15, the East Fork of the Owyhee was flowing at 81 cfs, the Bruneau River at 82 cfs, the Jarbidge is flowing at 27 cfs (access through Idaho), Salmon Falls Creek at 152 cfs, Lamoille Creek at 12.5 cfs, the South Fork up a bit at 32 cfs, Cleve Creek at 5.5 cfs, Steptoe Creek at 2.8 cfs and Kingston Creek at 3.5 cfs.
