Northern Pike
While not widely known as a pike destination, the Yerington area offers limited but potentially rewarding opportunities for northern pike, primarily within the Walker River system and associated irrigation canals and reservoirs. Pike are not native and are present due to unauthorized introduction. Focus on larger, slower-moving sections of the river or reservoirs with abundant vegetation. Spring, after ice-out (if applicable), and early fall are the best times to target them, as they'll be actively feeding. Use large lures such as swimbaits, crankbaits, or spoons, and consider using a wire leader to prevent bite-offs. Pike fishing in this area is a bit of a hidden gem, and success often requires patience and persistence. Be aware that pike are considered an invasive species, and regulations may vary. Check with the Nevada Department of Wildlife for current regulations and any specific guidelines regarding pike management in the Walker River system.
