The past six weeks or so have seen a rotation of browns and rainbows in the 18” to 22” range coming and going from Lake Crowley. The past week has seen the largest quantity, resulting in 5- to 6-big-fish days along with a smattering of smaller fish. We’re targeting those bigger fish by nymph (mainly beaded Yellow Spots and Flashback Pheasant Tails), fishing the deeper, slower bends. Hopefully, these bigger fish will hang around awhile.



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.
