Located on top of Monitor Pass on Highway 89. The lake is open now until November 30th. The fishing has been good, but there are a few rules to abide by. Artificial lures or flies only with barbless hooks. Zero limit—catch and release only. They do allow boats and float tubes on the lake, but no gasoline motors. Electric trolling motors are allowed. It is a small lake, so I wouldn't be taking any boat larger than an 8 to 12 ft aluminum. Or you can shore fish. But remember that all fish must be released unharmed.



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.
