Mountain View Park Pond - Yerington, NV

Fish Spot Details
Fish Species: | Channel Catfish, Rainbow Trout |
Mountain View Park Pond, situated within Yerington, Nevada, functions as a highly accessible urban community fishery. This impoundment is managed primarily by the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) to provide consistent angling opportunities, particularly for youth and novice anglers. The pond's principal target species is the Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), which is regularly augmented through a comprehensive stocking program. Ancillary warmwater species, such as Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and various panfish (e.g., Bluegill, Lepomis macrochirus), may also be present, offering additional seasonal opportunities.
Angling methodologies are predominantly straightforward and highly efficacious due to frequent stocking. Bait fishing with PowerBait, worms, or salmon eggs, presented on the bottom or suspended under a bobber, is the most common and productive technique for trout. Spin casting with diminutive artificial lures (spinners, spoons) also yields consistent results. Light tackle is generally sufficient for this managed environment. Fly fishing with small nymph or streamer patterns can be effective, particularly for more selective fish. Optimal fishing periods are perennially available, contingent upon stocking schedules and ambient temperatures, with peak trout activity during cooler months. Winter ice fishing is also popular when conditions permit. Access is excellent, characterized by paved parking and designated fishing areas within the municipal park, making it a critical local recreational resource. Anglers are unequivocally mandated to consult current NDOW regulations concerning specific bag limits and any area-specific provisions for urban fisheries.
