Water Level is Low and Warm

Jiggs Reservoir (Zunino Reservoir) - Elko, NV (Elko County)

The water level is very low and warm.  These conditions resulted in a die-off of trout and expect trout fishing to be very poor. However, this combination has made fishing for bluegill good as they do well in warm water and the low level has them concentrated.  If you catch a trout and release it, while it may swim away, chances are it won’t survive the stress of being caught in very warm water, so please keep them.  Anglers have been catching keeper sized bluegill with a small bit of worm on a red hook suspended about 18 inches below the bobber.
