Grass Valley Reservoir in White Pine County is a reservoir in Nevada.

No reliable acreage is listed for Grass Valley Reservoir, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; start beside the first useful break, then use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock.

Begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water; start beside the first useful break, then check both sides of the point.

How to Read the Water

Do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself; check a rocky edge, then keep a worm ready for a slower check.

Season by Season

Shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move; give shaded water a separate pass.

A Simple Tackle Plan

a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle; use a small lure when bites are scarce, then save the heaviest tackle for deep cover.

Record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce; use the same depth on the next similar feature.
