• Where to Fish on Hobart Creek Reservoir

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Carson City records list brook trout, rainbow trout and cutthroat trout among the fish reported. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Hobart Creek Reservoir responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 28°F in January up to 62°F in August. In milder years the surface never sets. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. On Hobart Creek Reservoir that shapes the whole year. Early and late in the day beat the middle for most of the year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Marlette Lake sits 2.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Treat Hobart Creek Reservoir as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
