The lake level is rising very slowly. Fishing has been fair for those that don't give up too quickly. I recommend changing up your presentation. Colors and size does matter when fish are finicky. Some anglers have been shore fishing down past the bug station with powerbait or inflated nightcrawlers. Even in shore fishing. When fishing a floating bait. Start off with 12 inches off the bottom, then go to 18 or 24 inches. Some times when the fish are not feeding on the bottom. You need to bring your bait to their level. I have gone as far as 3 to 4 feet when needed. The boat ramp is open with all docks in the water.



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.
