Located 190 miles north of Reno, Boulder Reservoir was constructed in 1950 as a private reservoir for irrigation. At maximum pool, it is a little over 10 feet deep. Runoff and a perennial spring (southwest corner) feed the reservoir. The constant water flow provided by the spring keeps Boulder cool and oxygenated all year, allowing for good trout fishing even during the warmer summer months. Fishing from shore can be difficult when vegetation is thick … float tubes or small boats are recommended. Rainbow and bowcutt (rainbow x cutthroat hybrid) trout are the only fish found in the reservoir. Boulder Reservoir may look unimpressive at first, but it is a very productive lake and can offer some excellent fishing. Things to consider: Roads may be muddy in the spring or following wet weather. Check into the road conditions before traveling up there. Camping is unimproved. General regulations apply: Open year around, any hour of the day or night.
