WHERE IS THE BASS? NEVADA

[Btech]

Ok guys

I live in Winnemuca Nevada - Small town look it up if you can find it - We have a river called the Humboldt (VERY SMALL) but has a boat ramp which is now useless concidering the dam is open and the water droped to 3 -9 foot if your lucky to find a deep spot, There is a resivoir with " Wipers " cat and walleye, .... But this is all the information i kinow .

Can someone PLEASE tell me where bass are located in my area i know its gona be nothing like the bass im used to catching in North Carolina but i need to get my FIX.

Is it posible for bass to live in a little river like this ? How deep or vast does the water need to be for them to be decent size. (at least a pound) any help would be GREATLY appriciated.

Thanks

If you can get out to the Pioche Area around april/may there is a reservoir called echo canyon. Now the bass arent trophy by any means but when it comes to numbers, you will have a blast. Its possible on some days to catch bass on every single cast during those months. Fish it at night for some amazing topwater action also. I took my wife and my sister there 2 years in a row now and both weekends had to be 200+ fish days for the 3 of us.

well id say rye patch is your best best theres some good fish in there if your going reno way there isnt much i love fishing im from reno and there just isnt much bass around

Try Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge. It's not to far from you. Also, if you want to go North into Idaho, C J Strike Reservoir is not to far from Winnemuca.

I know it's a ways away but Lake Mead and Lake Mojave are worth it!

Well thanks guys - I think it would be less money just to move back to the east - Thinking of Tenn. or NC / SC area again. - Anyone have a job opening.

Rye Patch is a cool place and Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge is must do. Take bug spray and search out the hot springs. During this season I'm not so sure of either. Although if you aren't fishing, Ruby is still a great place to visit.

To the locals or anybody in the know,after it warms back up how is Stillwater for bass.

Thanks for the help guys it just hurts knowing I must drive thee hours just to catch bass. I miss NC. I have heard of Willow Resivoir in battle mountain holding bass but have only caught trout and yellow perch. Anyone from this area hit me up please

Lake Havasu, a little farther downstream is even better for Bass. But getting pretty far away from you and also doesn't quite fit into the where is the Bass in Nevada question.

I know it's a ways away but Lake Mead and Lake Mojave are worth it!

Havasu will be the ticket for you. It's a little drive, but well worth it.

Amazing it has been over a year since I have hooked a bass!

Still I have that craving looking for somewhere to fish here in the middle of no where lol. Are there any members around this area that would like to plan a roadtrip to somewhere with bass and not dinky trout I have been catching out of a 2ft wide creek?

Send me a message

Finally! I found Bass ... and although the trip was short, I caught 2! total weight probably less than half a pound (IDK) lol but it was fun.

I did alot of research and the closest thing to Winnemucca was 1.5 hours away in Denio Junction called Dufferina ponds, and finaly after casting on my Quantum UL, 4lb with a cheep walmart 1/8 oz jig caught my first Northen Nevada Bass on the first cast!

I know to everyone this sounds lame but its been over a year and finaly have a place to go to - after 40 bucks in gas, hours of packing, setting up camp and 30 degree weather, I caught TWO!

Anyone who needs help locating Bass in Northen Nevada please contact me Via PM

I just accepted a job about 15 mins away from Lake Cachuma in Santa Barbara Ca, so I wont be fishing in NV anymore. But I have found some decent spots in the reno area. Up from Pyramid lake there is a couple lakes with good bass fishing, called Squaw creek and wall canyon. Wall is mainly smallmouth, but I have seen some 4-5 lbr's come out of Squaw. Getting closer to your neck of the woods, South Fork Reservoir near elko has some really great fishing. State record smallmouth came out of there last year. NDOW website is great for info sheets.
