Prohibition Flat is a lake in Nevada, near Lincoln County.
Prohibition Flat is a lake in Lincoln County, Nevada and covers about 0.2 acres.
The small size of Prohibition Flat makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; keep the lure near the depth that produced, then give shaded water a separate pass.
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; follow a short creek arm, then give low-light water a slower bottom pass.
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; try the strongest cover, then keep the first route short.
Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again; work the best shade during bright hours, then return to productive water when light changes.
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 light bait when the water is clear, then keep line light around small clear-water fish.
At Prohibition Flat, record the wind, water color, depth beside the useful 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.
