Walleye
Walleye aren't native to all Nevada waters, but certain reservoirs near Sparks hold populations worth targeting. Rye Patch Reservoir, about an hour and a half northeast, is a popular destination. Walleye prefer deeper water with structure, so look for submerged humps, points, and drop-offs. Jigging with minnows or artificial lures is a classic walleye technique, especially during the day. Trolling crankbaits in the evening and at night can also be very productive. Spring and fall are prime times, as walleye move shallower to spawn and feed. A local tip: wind can be your friend when walleye fishing. A moderate breeze can stir up the water and create a feeding frenzy. However, be cautious of strong winds, as Rye Patch can get rough. Also, be aware of the size and creel limits for walleye in Nevada. The walleye population in Rye Patch can be somewhat cyclical, so check local fishing reports for the latest information on their abundance and size.
