Sheep Creek – Fly fishermen have been catching .5-1 fish per hour (trout) and bass fishermen have had some success here (Sheep Creek had the Nevada State Smallmouth Bass Record in 2009). Overall fishing is rated as “fair” at this reservoir. Green, black and brown leeches are recommended.
Mountain View – Fish the deep spots at this reservoir for best results. Brown woolly buggers should do the trick. Fish have been averaging 14-18 inches and catch rates .5 to 1+ per hour. No report from bait fishermen this weekend. Lake Billy Shaw – No report. Attention Anglers: Please stop at the Bruneau inspection station and have your boat inspected for Quagga/Zebra Mussels. Hold on to your receipt as you will need to show it to our game wardens when they stop by to check fishing permits. If you have not had your watercraft inspected prior to arriving at the Reservation you will be required to have it inspected prior to launching. Thank you for assisting the Tribes in protecting your favorite fishing hole! |

Looks like another beautiful weekend on tap at the Reservation. Highs in the upper 80s with lows a comfortable 58-60 degrees.
Mountain View – As has been the case for a good part of the season, fly fisherman still have the edge. Not terribly busy at the reservoir the last few days but today one angler caught 10 fish in 1.5 hours, with all being in the 17 – 19 inch range. He was using black leech w/a flashy tail. His buddy however, only caught two in the same amount of time. No creel survey yesterday but on Tuesday catch rates were 3+ fish per hour. My lone bait fisherman on Tuesday caught 2.5 fish per hour. Sheep Creek – Bass fishermen were out there today and one harvested a 17 ˝”, 4.14 pound bass. Another angler harvested a 16 incher. Fishing was slow for fly fishermen at this reservoir today. Lake Billy Shaw – While it was pretty quiet over the weekend, the anglers that did hit Billy Shaw were not disappointed as they reported high catch rates and feisty fish. A 20 incher was caught on the 4th. |

It’s shaping up to be a beautiful weekend on the Duck Valley Reservation. Highs will be in the low to mid seventies through Sunday with cool, comfortable nights. Looks like we’ll have some wind on Friday, but it is forecasted to calm down for Saturday and Sunday.
Bait fishing has been slow but Clayton reports that some of the harvested fish were 17 to 18 inches in size at Mountain View, with others 14-16 inches. Fly fisherman were reporting catch rates of 1-2 fish per hour last weekend but Tuesday and Wednesday the fishing was off. Today’s creel survey indicated catch rates at Sheep Creek again in the 1 to 2 fish per hour range. Try leeches and Sheep Creek Special. One angler hauled in a 17”, 3.25 pound large mouth bass. Mountain View is getting a little mossy – just so you all know, we are going to try a little aquatic weed management this summer at this reservoir to see if we can knock back the weeds and improve fishing conditions. We’ll keep you posted. ******************************************************** Bring the family down and enjoy the Tribes’ 4th of July weekend Rodeo and Pow-Wow.

| Fished Mtn View June 5-7. Very cyclical. Slow for a couple hours then quite fast for an hour. Olive sparkle bugger and small brown canadian leeches worked best. Most fish were in the 12 to 17 inch range. However I did catch one 24 inch, very fat male rainbow. |

Fishing Report for Duck Valley Reservation – June 7, 2010
Lake Billy Shaw – Anglers reported very high catch rates over the weekend…..to the tune of 3-5 fish per hour. As reported on Friday’s fishing report, the majority of the fish are in the 12-18” range. Try fishing early evening for the best shot at some of the bigger fish as they seem to be active at this time. Black leech, Sheep Creek Special and Stayner ducktail are all working well. Sheep Creek – Fly fishermen continue to do well here, with catch rates ranging from 1.5-4 fish per hour. Try a brown leech, black leech, or Sheep Creek Special. Mountain View – Wind was a factor here over the weekend with Saturday being a better fishing day. Catch rates were along the lines of Sheep Creek at 1.75-4+ fish per hour for fly anglers. Try a green leech or black woolly bugger here. Bait fishing has been slow and we are getting similar reports from Wildhorse Reservoir, located south of the Reservation. The week ahead is a mixed bag as far as the weather. The best day of the week looks like Tuesday, so head on down and enjoy a day of sunshine and great fishing. |

DUCK VALLEY INDIAN RESERVATION
Fishing report for the week of 10/16/09 to 10/22/09 Fishing at Mountain View has really picked up this week. Anglers were reporting excellent catch rates with fish ranging from 12 to 16 inches. Some anglers caught trout up to 18 inches. At Billy Shaw, catch rates were high but many of the fish reported were small planters. Three anglers the biologist interviewed stated that they were getting into some larger fish hanging out in the shallower areas on the edge of the weeds. No anglers were reported at Sheep Creek. All three reservoirs have been stocked and there should be an abundance of trout available to be caught. The weeds have really receded well and the water is opened up again. If you catch yellow perch, please do not release them back into the water. Weather 10/22/09 Thursday : Mostly sunny, with a high near 57.

3/16/09
Shoshone-Paiute Tribes Duck Valley Indian Reservation Mountain View Reservoir We checked the ice on 3/13/09. The ice is still very firm and about 14 inches thick but as the days become gradually warmer, the ice may develop some softer areas. Be cautious when on the ice. While checking the ice, we talked with two anglers ice fishing near the dam. The two anglers said that fishing was very slow with only one or two bites in three hours. However, while interviewing the anglers one of them caught two fish in 5 minutes. Fish activity may be based on time of day. The anglers also stated that several relatives fish several days prior and had excellent fishing. |

Duck Valley Indian Reservation Mountain View Reservoir 2/19/09 Due to the stormy weather earlier in the week, Mountain View Reservoir hasn’t seen too many anglers. Today (Thursday) we came upon two anglers that had been out at the reservoir fishing for two to three hours. They said that they were getting a good number of bites but the fish were biting very cautiously. They caught two fish up to that point, one being a nice, fat 18 incher. The ice is about 15 to 16 inches in depth. Due to the warmer afternoons, there is about 5-6 inches of slushy snow on top of the ice, so be sure to wear waterproof boots. It looks like the weather will be beautiful over the weekend. Here is a look at the forecast: • 2/20/09 Friday: Partly cloudy. High 42F. Winds light and variable. • 2/21/09 Saturday: Partly cloudy. High 38F. Winds E at 5 to 10 mph. • 2/22/09 Sunday: Times of sun and clouds. Highs in the upper 30s and lows in the upper 20s. • 2/23/09 Monday: Cloudy. Highs in the low 40s and lows in the low 30s. |

Duck Valley Indian Reservation Mountain View Reservoir We checked the ice on Thursday (2/12/09) near the dam. The ice was 10 to 12 inches with about two inches of snow on top. A few nights have been below zero and that has helped to harden the ice. Not an angler in sight…these are the days reserved for the hardiest of anglers. Looks like maybe it might be a little unsettled for the weekend, but the winds will be dying down. So, if your planning on coming down…..bring some extra layers and don’t forget to stop by the deli for a cup of joe when your finished at the lake. Weather • 2/13: Mostly cloudy with snow flurries and snow showers, especially in the afternoon. High 31F. Winds ESE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 60%. • 2/13 night: Snow showers. Low 24F. Winds E at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 70%. • 2/14 Saturday: Scattered flurries and snow showers. Cold. High 27F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 30%. • 2/15 Sunday: Snow showers at times.

Duck Valley Indian Reservation
Mountain View Reservoir as of 1/14/08 Three anglers were at MVR ice fishing. In a matter of two to three hours they caught 8 fish. One angler stated that late afternoon is the best time to catch fish. They were using corn for bait. The ice was about 18 inches at their spot and despite the warm days, the ice is staying hard from the colder nights. |

Duck Valley Indian Reservation Mountain View Reservoir as of 1/1/09 We checked the ice at MVR reservoir on Wednesday December 31st. About 20 yards from the dam, the ice was 7 to 8” thick. The previous week we checked the ice near the boat ramp and found the ice there was only 3 inches. This indicates that the thickness differs over the entire reservoir, so use caution when walking on the ice. In terms of fishing, two locals went ice fishing at Mountain View for an hour and a half. The two gentlemen caught 12 trout in that time period. They said the fish seemed to be hungry and feisty. The fish all were between 14 and 16 inches. The weather has been somewhat warm lately with temperatures as high as 45 F on sunny days. It has also rained here at times. |

Duck Valley Indian Reservation Fishing Report for 12/5/08
There have been a few anglers out fishing in the last week or two. Verbal reports indicate that the fishing was very good at Mountain View Reservoir during this period. Currently, the ice has not formed on the reservoir except for the edges of the water and in some of the smaller bays. There is plenty of open water to fish and put boats in. If the weather becomes colder, we could see more ice forming. We will continue checking the ice once or twice per week. |

Duck Valley Indian Reservation Fishing Report as of 11/4/08
The season at Lake Billy Shaw and Sheep Creek Reservoir is now closed. Mountain View will remain open throughout the year for fishing opportunities but the campground with the electrical sites and water spigots has been winterized. Anglers reported decent fishing during the last week of October. The few anglers out there were mostly trolling in small boats using flies such as leech patterns. Their catch rates were about 5 to 6 fish for the entire morning. Most of the fish they were catching were modest sized fish but they also reported catching some brood stock fish that were over 24 inches in length. We expect ice to begin forming on Mountain View towards the end of the month but probably will not be thick enough for ice fishing until late December. |
