Even though Nevada is one of the driest states, it is home to some of the best fishing lakes, reservoirs, streams and rivers in the West. Nevada’s game fish species include mountain whitefish, trout, bass, sunfish and catfish. Popular Nevada fishing spots include Lake Mead, Knott Creek Reservoir, Lake Tahoe and the Truckee River in Western Nevada—known for its abundance of rainbow, brown and Lohantan cuttroat trout.
