Baker Creek Details

You are allowed to fish anywhere between the Baker Creek trailhead and the Grey Cliffs Group Campsite. This area offers a selection of brown, brook, and rainbow trout - usually in large numbers. If you are looking to fish in solitude, this tends to be a quiet place. Remember that all fishing requires a Nevada state fishing permit that can be purchased online and printed out. If you are fishing, you must have your permit on-hand. The park does not sell fishing permits.
