Little Fish Lake is a lake in Nye County, Nevada and covers about 152.2 acres.
Little Fish Lake can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
Fish and Baits
The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; use water color to choose the first lure, then keep the first route short.
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; cast across the point tip, then use wind to narrow the search.
How to Read the Water
Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break; cast across the point tip, then keep line light around small clear-water fish.
Season by Season
In spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace; use a smaller lure in clear water.
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; start with the cover closest to deep water, then save the heaviest tackle for deep cover.
Record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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; try natural colors in clear water.
