Located off of US 95 in Yerington NV. They offer many ponds to choose from to fish for trout, crappie, catfish and bass. And yes, a river runs through it. The Walker river is open to fishing year round. They have rustic dry camping in a few areas. But one of my favorite things to do is, Visit the hatchery and see all the varieties of trout they plant throughout Nevada. Check each pond for any special regulations.

Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to [email protected]. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
