The great weather of last weekend is not going to happen this weekend, though Sunday may be okay for fishing. However, some of my best days of fishing have been when it was either raining or snowing. South Fork is wide open, so if you do plan to brave Mother Nature and go fishing, it is probably the place to go.
With the warmer temperatures and precipitation in the forecast, many of our area reservoirs have either opened up or have unsafe ice. The few that still have safe ice include Wildhorse, Cave Lake and parts of Comins Lake.
When in doubt, don’t venture onto the ice. This is the time of year when ice conditions can change very quickly and what may be safe one day, may not be the next. If you want to get out on the ice, you better do it soon as the forecast for the next 10 days calls for daytime highs in the 40’s an 50’s and overnight lows at or slightly above freezing in the much of eastern Nevada.
The Ruby Mountain Fly Fishers, Trout Unlimited and Kinross Gold are once again sponsoring the Fly Fishing Film Tour on April 5th at the Great Basin College Theatre. Doors open for happy hour at 5:30 and the movies will start at 6:30. Free appetizers while they last and lots of great prizes given away just for showing up.
There was a great turnout last year and everyone had a good time. Tickets are $15 and available from any RMFF club member, the Elko Fly Shop or online at https://flyfilmtour.myeventscenter.com/browse/. All proceeds will be used to bring the event back next year.
