Largemouth Bass
Carlin, Nevada, while known for its rugged landscapes, actually has some decent largemouth bass fishing opportunities in nearby reservoirs and smaller impoundments. Rye Patch Reservoir, though a drive, is a notable spot. The best time to target largemouth here is during the spring spawn as water temperatures rise, pushing the fish into the shallows. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation or rocky structure. Summer can be productive during early morning or late evening hours. Try using jigs, Texas-rigged worms, or crankbaits. A local tip: fluctuating water levels can impact the fishing, so check conditions before you go. The bass in this region tend to be opportunistic, so experiment with different presentations to see what they're biting on.
