The Walker River offers some of the best fly fishing in America. Located north of Bridgeport near the Nevada border, the Walker provides plenty of action. Fly fishermen will find nymph patterns work best when the sun is on the water. Good fly patterns include Mosquitoes, Royal Wulfs, Black Gnats and Bead-Headed Prince Nymphs. The river has a two fish limit and anything over 14 inches must be released. Bait fishing is not allowed and only barbless hooks may be used.

Located south of Gardnerville, Nevada, and north of Walker, California, Topaz Lake is half in California and half in Nevada. This 1,850-acre lake has a shoreline that stretches approximately 26-miles. Both states stock the lake and the fishing is great. Both states honor each others fishing licenses at Topaz. The lake is closed during October, November and December, but otherwise fishing is excellent the other months. Trout in the 8 – 10 pound range are common. Topaz Lake has launching ramps, a full-service marina, private and public campgrounds and nearby casinos. You can expect to catch Rainbows, Browns, and Cutthroat Trout in Topaz. While shore fishing is good, the larger trout are caught by trolling.
