Nevada Fishing

I Recently spent two nights camping out NE of Pioche, NV at Eagle Valley Reservoir (10/24 to 10/26). Was told over 3,000 trout were stocked just two weeks before and I was excited to wet a line. Caught three 6/7 inch Brook trout the first afternoon releasing two. Fished a few hours before noon the second day and only caught one Brook trout.
Finally found a honey hole and caught about 14 trout. Caught three nice Rainbow that I kept, and several 7 to 8-inch stocked Brook Trout that I released. Then among the brook trout, I caught one strange trout I had never seen before. Snapped several pictures then released it.

I did some research when I got home and discovered it was a cross between a Male Brown Trout and female Brook Trout. Will be going back in the spring to try catching another one but one that has grown some.

Morning Camper. They stocked some of those around here about 15 years ago or so but I haven’t seen or heard of anyone catching one for quite a while but they are pretty fish

Nice little tiger trout. The biggest tiger I saw was about 20” and around 5 lbs. shaped a lot like a football!

Before you go target the Tiger trout, make sure that they are legit to retain. Here in Oregon they are stocked in lakes that have, or previously had, an invasive Chub problem. The Tiger is put in to predate the Chub and here it's C&R only on them. Your state's regs and reasoning for stocking might be different, but do check.....big fine for retention in Oregon.
Good luck, either way !
