Coyote Hole, Nevada: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Coyote Hole is listed under Elko County, Nevada. The water sits 5,374 feet up. It covers about 8 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. The nearest town is Elko, 79 miles away. The nearest city of size is Boise, 117 miles away. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout. There is enough here to keep coming back.

• Where to Fish on Coyote Hole

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Open biodiversity records for Elko County list brook trout, rainbow trout, tahoe sucker, great basin cutthroat trout and mountain sucker. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Coyote Hole repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 26°F in January and 67°F in August. In milder years the surface never sets. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. That shapes the year on Coyote Hole. The first frost of the year slows things for a few days.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Should this one be busy, Spencer Reservoir is 3 miles off. None of that is settled for Coyote Hole in what we hold.
