Wild Horse went off the radar for a few years. About three years ago I saw a few people ice fishing it again. I called Nevada Fish and Game, and after a lot of tries I got a Biologist in Elko that had worked on Wild Horse. The Res has both large Trout and Perch. F&G believes they now know how to manage for a good large Perch fishery. I got zip info out of Duck Valley Res. Covid really shut down most Motels and stores down there, a trip may be necessary to find info sources.
There's no motels down there.
The Nevada Dinner house... it's been like 25 years since I lived near Elko, and I still remember that place Do they still bring out soup and salad and bread and pasta before your main course?
Those must be new, wasn't any there when I was down there.

Yes they do, it's a great meal.
All good info. I prefer lakes in the Middle O Nowhere. If I don't Ice it Ill get there in my boat.
I like others have fished Wildhorse over the years. Been good times and bad. Perch are making a comeback! State record (small compared to Cascade -under 2 lbs) caught there in 2019. The state park does have 3 cabins to rent. You can reserve them 6 months out. However the Ranger has said the weekends book fast. They have rv hookups and heated restrooms. Be aware that they charge more for out of state rigs. Dunns reopened a few years ago but the rooms were in bad shape. Not sure if new owner fixed them up. Elko motels are 1 hour south. I took my boat there in June this year (2021). Lots of rb’s and lots of perch (6-10”). Will find out in a month or so if those perch have grown. Motel in mtn city looked closed.Cheers!
