The lake still has 4 ft of ice and snow on it, but is melting fast. John Bartell caught a nice 8 lb mackinaw jigging a 1/4 oz gold Kastmaster. The rainbow fishing was slow to nil. We tried various jigs, spoons and bait, with only a few bites. I give it until mid to end of May to be thawed out and ready to troll. The Caples Lake Resort is open for lodging and dining. For more information give them a call or stop by the resort.



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.
