Fishing Information: You can fish from shore or boat to catch crappie, wipers, white bass, channel catfish, black bass, walleye and Sacramento Perch. Catfish also can be caught in the Humboldt River. Most anglers use worms or liver for catfish, minnows for bass and walleye, and jigs for crappie, perch and bass. (Be sure to bring your own bait since it often is not available in the area.) Fishing is usually best in spring and early summer, with fall being a good season for catfish. A Nevada fishing license is required
