[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 3]Pete Gill from Nevada Division of State Parks said that the reservoir had 14 inches of ice and that conditions are still good for ice fishing.[/size][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 3]Fishing continued to be slow, but anglers did catch a few stocked rainbow trout. The fish were taken with PowerBait and worms.[/size][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 3]Daytime temperatures were in the low 40s, while the nights dropped down as low as 0 degrees.[/size][/font][font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 3] [/size][/font][/indent]

[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]Due to ice and snow melting, the reservoir water level is rising. The ice is too thin and not safe for ice fishing; however the shore areas are accessible for fishing. No one fished this past week.[/font][/indent]

[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 3]Stormy weather and poor fishing contributed to the low fishing pressure throughout the lake. Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) creel census clerks said that there was minimal activity to report in the upper basin.[/size][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 3]A boater fishing near Sand Island landed a few small striped bass that ranged from 12 – 16 inches. The fish were taken with anchovies. [/size][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 3]Two shore anglers fishing Hemenway Harbor and North Saddle Coves on Monday (3/1/04) told NDOW that they had no luck fishing the area.[/size][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 3]Jim Heinrich, NDOW Biologist, said the lake’s water level may be dropping this spring, which could adversely impact the largemouth bass spawn. Bass need stable water levels in order to keep their nest under water during the spawn.
Hemenway Cove, Horsepower Cove, Pumphouse Cove and North Saddle Cove are scheduled to be stocked with rainbow trout on Friday (03/05/04).

Weather conditions had a significant impact on fishing pressure at both Cottonwood Cove and Willow beach.
A few anglers fishing from shore at Willow Beach landed trout that averaged 12 inches. The fish were caught using PowerBait.
A boater fishing the Cottonwood Cove area last Thursday (02/29/04), landed two striped bass that weighed in at 20 and 26 pounds. The fish were taken with an AC plug.
Placer Cove, Willow Beach, Aztec Wash and Cottonwood Cove are scheduled to be stocked with rainbow trout on Friday (03/05/04).

[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]Dana Johnson, Installation Supervisor said that fishing has been good to excellent. Anglers fishing from the shore and dam were catching rainbow trout that averaged 14 inches. PowerBait was the most popular bait. [/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]Despite last weeks rain and snow, both Haymeadows and Cold Springs are ice-free with the exception of a little skim ice. The boat launch areas are now accessible. Johnson advised that due to the rain the roads are very slippery and anglers should exercise caution on the area.

[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]Weather conditions contributed to the significant drop in fishing pressure. Anglers were successful landing rainbow trout that ranged from 10 – 12 inches. The fish were caught using PowerBait and worms.[/font][/indent]
