About Fishing at Cleve Creek

Cleve Creek is a public river in White Pine County, Nevada, managed by Nevada Department of Wildlife. You can fish it on a Nevada fishing licence — there is no separate trout stamp for general fishing. Nevada follows the federal navigability test for public river use; on non-navigable reaches over private land, fish from public land, at bridges and road crossings, or with the landowner’s permission. About 85% of Nevada is federal land, so most of these waters are BLM or Forest Service access. Lahontan cutthroat conservation streams carry their own rules, and tribal waters such as Pyramid Lake need a tribal permit. Public access confirmed via NDOW Fishable Waters listing.

A Nevada mountain trout stream (the Sierra front, the Ruby Mountains, the Jarbidge and Santa Rosa ranges, the East Humboldt) — wild and stocked rainbow, brown and brook trout, native Lahontan cutthroat under conservation regulations, and tiger trout; the Jarbidge River holds Nevada's only bull trout (catch-and-release).

It runs roughly 13 miles through the Eastern Region region. Anglers here mostly fish for brown trout, rainbow trout. Live flow and gauge height come from the Cleve Ck Nr Ely, Nv USGS station shown below. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Stephens Creek and Bastian Creek.

Access & Rules at Cleve Creek

Night fishing: No statewide night-fishing closure in Nevada; Pyramid Lake and some tribal and urban waters set their own hours and seasons, and a few trout streams close seasonally for spawning — check the current Nevada Fishing Regulations or the tribe's rules.

Boats: Most Nevada streams are wade access; the big reservoirs take trailered boats via a park or BLM ramp. Every boat needs an AIS inspection, and any craft off Lake Mead or Mohave must be decontaminated and dried before launching elsewhere (quagga mussels).

Bank & bivvy camping: About 85% of Nevada is federal land -- dispersed camping is allowed on almost all BLM and Forest Service ground along these waters, plus developed campgrounds at the state parks and national recreation areas.

Tackle: The general Nevada trout limit is 5, but many waters carry reduced limits or special rules -- the Jarbidge River bull trout are catch-and-release, Lahontan cutthroat conservation streams have their own regulations, and Pyramid Lake follows Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe rules (2 fish, protective slot, barbless). Check the current Nevada Fishing Regulations.
