Fishing at Verdi Mill Pond near Reno is currently good for stocked trout, mainly rainbow trout with some holdover fish depending on recent stocking and conditions. Fish are typically spread out but tend to concentrate around shoreline structure such as weed edges, docks, brush, drop-offs, and any shaded or protected areas. Because its a smaller pond, fish often cruise relatively shallow water and can move around a lot during the day. Early morning and late afternoon remain the most consistent feeding windows, with activity slowing during the warmest part of the day.For bait fishing, PowerBait in bright colors like chartreuse, rainbow, garlic, or orange is very effective when fished on the bottom or suspended a few feet under a small float near structure. Nightcrawlers, salmon eggs, and small dough baits also work well when drifted naturally along the shoreline or placed near weed lines where fish are cruising.For lure fishing, small spinners such as Rooster Tails or Mepps in silver, gold, black, or bright patterns are productive when retrieved slowly along the edges of cover. Tiny spoons like Kastmasters or small crankbaits can also trigger bites, especially when covering water to locate active fish.Fly fishing is effective with small nymphs like pheasant tail, hares ear, and midge patterns fished under an indicator near deeper edges or vegetation. Woolly buggers and leech patterns worked slowly can also produce, especially when fish are slightly deeper or less aggressive.Overall, success at Verdi Mill Pond comes down to focusing on structure, fishing slowly, and adjusting depth until you find where the fish are actively cruising.
