Explore Nevada’s trout water: the Truckee, the East and West Walker and the Carson forks, the streams NDOW stocked this year, Lahontan cutthroat streams in the Ruby Mountains and northern Nevada, NDOW’s fishable trout streams, and the lakes and community ponds stocked this year, with public land, access and river gauges.
Check before you fish. Access, stocking and regulations here come from Nevada's own data and can be out of date. Posted signs and landowners' wishes come first, and private land needs permission. The rules that apply are in the Nevada fishing regulations, and you need a valid fishing license.
Bold where the stream crosses public land; faint and dashed across private land. Gauges are measurement stations; a nearby gauge may be on a different stream.

Bold where the stream crosses public land
Streams come from NDOW’s Fishable Waters layer (last edited in 2017) and list the trout species NDOW recorded there; that isn’t a current survey. Streams marked stocked this year match an NDOW water page with a 2026 trout stocking; NDOW stocks named sections, and the line shows the whole stream.
Lahontan cutthroat streams are NDOW’s 2023 occupied-population layer: conservation data, many of them small headwaters. Some are closed or catch and release; check the rules for each water.
Lakes, reservoirs and community ponds stocked this year are points at their location on NDOW’s FishNV map, with this year’s totals. Waters on tribal land, such as Pyramid Lake, follow tribal rules and permits.
Access points are sparse: NDOW wildlife management area launches and parking, BLM boat ramps and Forest Service fishing sites. Check the current regulations before fishing.
Highlighted banks adjoin mapped open-access public land, with a roughly 20-meter bank tolerance. Dimmed water has no adjacent open-access parcel recorded in this source. Neither determines legal entry, rights of way or permission to cross private land. Check signs, property rules and the current fishing regulations.
Access markers are source facility locations within about 800 meters of mapped water, not verified parking spaces or guaranteed entry to a particular reach. River-gauge readings describe the gauged location; a nearby gauge on another stream is shown as context.
