Due to the Cottonwood Peak wildfire, the Wilson Reservoir campground is temporarily closed. Nevada Highway 226 is open to local traffic only. For most up to date information about this fire visit.
Water levels are in good shape and water clarity is still decent despite some algae growth throughout the lake. The road is also in good condition. Trout fishing has slowed some with warmer temperatures but catch rates remain fair. PowerBait and worms are always reliable, or try throwing a rooster tail or small spoon. Small nymph, midge and leech patterns should work for fly anglers. Bass are hitting soft plastics in green pumpkin or watermelon, as well as a variety of crankbaits.
