No Name Reservoir is a reservoir in Nevada, near Elko County.
No Name Reservoir is a reservoir in Elko County, Nevada and covers about 1.2 acres, reaches about 8.3 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 4.4 acre-feet.
The small size of No Name Reservoir makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in No Name Reservoir, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; use a slow bait after the search lure, then watch water color during the day.
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 slow down after the first bite.
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; check a protected pocket, then use the old channel as a guide.
Spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search; check the clearest edge before moving, then use a moving lure to search.
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; let wind choose the first bank, then fish the windy and calm sides differently.
At No Name Reservoir, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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.
