People who fish in Nevada know many of the more remote spots that are some of the most special places to catch fish anywhere in America. Willow Creek, near Midas, is one such place. It's a man-made reservoir where you can catch crappie alongside Nevada staples, including trout. Sadly, Willow Creek dam had a catastrophic failure just a couple months ago, draining the water. Fortunately, NDOW was able to salvage some of the fish, while plans are underway to restore this unique fishery. This week Edwin sits down with Fisheries Chief Jon Sjoberg and Fisheries Biologist Pat Sollberger to talk about the future of Willow Creek Reservoir.
