[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Boise/Jakes Reservoir[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Water level is good, it has been stocked, though carryover is minimal. Water is clear and fishing is fair using bait or artificials.
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Use the same as if you were at South Fork. Power bait and worms, gold blade spinners and rooster tails. Fly fisherman keep the flies dark and small to medium in size.
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2] [/size][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2][/size][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Carlin Pond
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Fishing is fair. Carlin has been stocked with 1000 fish and there have been some carryover fish from last fall.

[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Cave Lake
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Water is open. Fishing is fair.
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Try small flies such as adams and griffiths gnats. Small wooly buggers and cave lake specials work as well..
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Call before you head here. 775-289-1655 775-777-2305

[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Comins Lake
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Fly fishing in the south end has been fair to good. Bait fishing in the north end is only fair.
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Chironomid (midge) patterns in sizes 12 thru 16 are working for fly fisherman in the south end of the lake. Also try prince/pt/hares ear nymphs. Bait fisherman are using powerbait and worms.
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Call before you head here. 775-289-1655 775-777-2305

[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Crittenden Lake
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Fishing for trout is good. Water levels are in good shape and the water is fairly clear with not much weed growth yet. Bass fishing is slow, Avg bass around 12 inches. Trout up to 22 inches have been caught.
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Try silver rapalas with black backs and gold bladed rooster tails with brown or black. This is working for both bass and trout. Black and olive leech and woolybuggers are working as well. Bass are caught using same patterns on the bottom near the willows. Bass are also being caught with rubber gear also fished slow and on the bottom.This will be the case until the water warms up. Snail patterns are also working.
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Caddis or may fly hatches should be starting up soon. Still to early for the damsels.
[/size][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2][/size][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Dorsey Reservoir
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Fishing is fair, with fish 8 to 14 inches being caught. Good water levels.
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Mostly bait fisherman here, but wooly buggers, leaches, hares ear and pt nymphs are working.
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]The road is dry with a few ruts, but in fairly good shape. Lake will be drawn down by late June , please keep all the fish you catch up to the legal limit.
[/size][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2][/size][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Jiggs/Zunino Reservoir
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]The reservoir is half full and 1000 fish have been stocked. Early morning fishing is recommended.
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]No report on what is working.
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Water level is not expected to hold through the summer, so keep all the fish you catch up to the legal limit.

[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2][/size][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Illipah
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Fishing conditions here are good, with carryover fish in the 13 to 16 inch class being caught. Illipah currently is receiving little or no pressure
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Small midge patterns size 12 to 18.
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2] [/size][/font]

[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Mountain Lakes & Streams
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Mountain lakes in the Rubies and East Humboldt's are closed due to snow. Lower elevation streams are full and fishing is difficult. Tabor Creek north of Wells may be one possibility.
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2][font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][#000000][size 3][/size][/#000000][/font] [/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]May not open until late June early July due to snow pack. Mountain streams at lower elevations become more fishable after the snow melt slows down in June or early July.

[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2][/size][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Ruby Lake NWR
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]The best fishing is in the collection ditch for brood trout. Fishing the ditch downstream from the hatchery has been fair to good. Large rainbows have been caught off of the dock at the main boat landing.
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Anything black or olive in color, very buggy and with a bead head.
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Collection ditch is artificial flies and lures only. Brood fish have been stocked in the collection ditch in the 3 to 6 lb. range. Shore fishing only until July 1st. Float tubes are allowed off of the dock at the main boat landing out to the sign. Call the refuge at 775-779-2237 for more information.
[/size][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2][/size][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]South Fork Reservoir
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Bass fishing is good on the nests. Trout fishing is slow, though the fish being caught are 18 to 20 inches and well worth the effort.
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Trollers are using flashers with a worm trailer with some success. Also silver rapalas with blue or black backs. Black with yellow or Olive with yellow spinners do okay. Blood, olive or black wooly buggers, both with and without beadheads work well. Rooster tails in brown and black are working as well.[/size][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Bass is catch and release only until July 1. Please return the bass as quickly as possible to the water in the location they were caught so as to let them get back onto the nests. There is a 5 fish limit on catfish which is new this summer. With recent weather trends, boating has been shaky due to high winds. Please proceed with caution and wear your PFD.
[/size][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2][/size][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Wildhorse Reservoir
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Water level is is still rising and may reach 50% of capacity. Boat ramp and dock are both useable at the state park. Fishing is fair. Perch have spawned and the perch fishing is slow and will probably not pick up until mid-May. Catfish should be picking up in mid to late May. Trout fishing has been good for shore anglers.
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Power bait and worms are working for the shore fisherman.
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Will receive a complement of catfish and wipers this summer in addition to the normal stocking of trout. Bass is catch and release only until July 1. Please return the bass as quickly as possible to the water in the location they were caught so as to let them get back onto the nests.There is a 5 fish limit on catfish which is new this summer.

[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Wilson Reservoir
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Still spilling and has been stocked and weather permitting, more stocking will take place. This lake should get around 55,000 fished stocked this spring. Spillway fishing is good below the falls. Fishing is fair to good with shore fisherman having the best luck.
[/size][/font] [font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]Worms in the spillway and worms and power bait in the resevoir. Rapalas and small spinners are working for boat anglers. Try large dark patterns such as bead head wooly buggers in black, olive or blood colors.
