Honeybee Reservoir Fishing near Moapa Valley, Nevada

• Overview

  The Clark County entry here is Honeybee Reservoir, in Nevada. The country round it is open dry country from end to end. At about 25 acres, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. Ground here is low by Nevada standards. Some 4.4 miles away sits Moapa Valley, the nearest settlement. Sunrise Manor sits 42 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. Others close at hand: Bowman Reservoir sits 7.4 miles out and Lake Mead at 25 miles. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Honeybee Reservoir

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Species logged across Clark County include common carp, striped bass, green sunfish and channel catfish. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. On Honeybee Reservoir the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 93°F on average, January about 47°F. Fish stay active all year, but they move with the heat. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Honeybee Reservoir fishes to that pattern most years. As the season turns, fish follow food rather than temperature alone.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Bowman Reservoir sits 7.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Honeybee Reservoir should be assumed from this page alone.
