| Nevada Trout Fishing | |
| Trout Fishing in Nevada The 5 primary trouts are the rainbow, brook, brown, cutthroat and lake trout. Brown trout are considered the most difficult to catch and brookies are the easiest. Pure cold water is key to survival of the trouts and the brook trout is the most sensitive to temperature. The others are comfortable in slightly warmer waters. Trout Fishing Lakes In Nevada You can find trout in many of the waters in Nevada, The major lakes with healthy populations of trout include Lake Lahontan, Lake Mead, Lake Mohave, Lake Tahoe, Pyramid Lake, Topaz Lake and Wild Horse Reservoir. Trout can also be found in rivers and streams in the northern sector of the state. Visit the Nevada Department of Wildlife website for details on trout stocking in Nevada.
