Smallmouth Bass
Fallon, Nevada, might not be the first place that comes to mind for smallmouth bass, but the Lahontan Reservoir offers a surprisingly productive fishery. This high-desert reservoir experiences significant water level fluctuations, so the best time to target smallies is typically in the spring and early summer, as the water warms and they move into shallower areas to spawn. Focus your efforts around rocky points and submerged structure. As the water recedes later in the season, look for them holding in deeper water near drop-offs. Local tip: Pay attention to the wind, as it can pick up quickly on Lahontan and make boat control challenging. There's a well-maintained boat ramp on the north end of the reservoir, but be prepared for potential congestion, especially on weekends. The smallmouth here aren't giants, but you'll find a healthy population of fish in the 1-3 pound range, and the clear water makes for exciting sight fishing opportunities.
