Walleye
Walleye anglers near Reno, Nevada, should set their sights on reservoirs like Rye Patch Reservoir. Rye Patch is known for its walleye population and offers a good chance at landing a quality fish. Spring and fall are the best times to target walleye, as they move into shallower water to spawn or feed. Focus on areas with rocky points, submerged humps, and channels. Jigging minnows or using bottom bouncers with worm harnesses are effective techniques. Local advice: Be prepared to fish deep, especially during the day. Walleye tend to hold in deeper water to avoid the sun. A good fish finder is essential for locating structure and fish. The walleye in Rye Patch can be challenging to catch, but the rewards are worth the effort. Be sure to check the Nevada Department of Wildlife regulations for size and bag limits before you go.
