Wildhorse is ice free. Shoreline anglers are having moderate success with trout up to 20 inches. Try flashy spinners or bait a couple of feet under a bobber. For fly anglers, try indicator fishing with small nymphs or stripping streamers in the shallows.

The new Nevada State Record for yellow perch was caught on 12/13/23. The fish weighed in at 1lb 9oz and measured 14.125 inches. Even with a catch this big, perch fishing will remain slow and fish will be small due to the die off last year.
