Located in the Great Basin and Mojave Desert, Nevada is the driest state in the nation, but it's also home to over 200 lakes and reservoirs and 600 streams and rivers that provide nearly 400,000 acres of sport fishing opportunity. There's a long list of fish species that swim in the best fishing waters of Nevada, from brook, brown, rainbow and cutthroat trout to large, smallmouth and striped bass, walleye, catfish and even kokanee salmon.
So where are the best places for Nevada Fishing? Lake Mead, only 30 minutes from Las Vegas, is the largest manmade body of water in North America, home to 15 million hungry fish. The lake provides 550 miles of shoreline and a multi-species lineup, from largemouth bass to crappie, carp, bluegill, catfish and rainbow trout. Pyramid Lake, located 35 miles northeast of Reno within the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation, is a 188 square mile salt lake and one of the largest lakes in the United States.

One angler, who believes it's the best place for Nevada Fishing, said, "Fishing at Pyramid Lake is an experience all its own. The water is unlike most lake water and is a startling pastel blue." Two species of fish are unique to the lake, the cui-ui and Lahontan cutthroat, but they are endangered and shouldn't be caught. But there's plenty of cutthroat trout, including the state record 41 pounder that was recorded there.
In the Western region of Nevada, one of the best places to fish is the Lahontan Reservoir, which has 65 miles of shoreline and some rocky islands that provide great bass and walleye action. Squaw Creek Reservoir is a great place to catch largemouth and spotted bass and rainbow trout.
In the Eastern region, the Wilson and South Fork Reservoirs are renowned as largemouth bass fisheries and Comins Lake, just south of Ely, is a trophy-trout fishery with Northern pike available, too.
In the Southern region, the Colorado River and Lake Mohave are two of the best places for Nevada Fishing and good striper fishing.
As you can see, there are plenty of great places to fish in Nevada, which prompted one angler to say, "There's more to Vegas than neon and nickels." If you plan to fish in Nevada instead of gamble, make sure you're equipped with the best fishing lures.
