For the first time in nearly 6 years, Cave Lake is at capacity and spilling. Water levels reached normal pool on 3/14/25.  With recent storms, shoreline access will be muddy until the snow melts and everything begins to dry out.  Anglers can expect to catch hatchery-reared rainbow trout stocked into Cave Creek in June 2024 that ended up in Cave Lake as the water levels increased.  Anglers will catch trout on nightcrawlers, PowerBait, spinners (Mepps and Panther Martins), and a variety of wetflies behind a bubble.  Spring stocking will begin as soon as water conditions allow.  The boat launch and dock area is closed to public access while Nevada Division of State Parks and NDOW staff work to replace floats on the dock.  Float tubes, kayaks, and canoes can be launched at the eastern end of the lake.
