Common carp fishing rules in NV

Common carpUnprotected

No daily or possession limit — common carp are an unprotected (non-game) species in Nevada. They may be taken by hook and line, bow and arrow, dipnet, cast net, seine, or spear (spearfishing is not allowed in Lake Tahoe or Topaz Lake). A fishing license is still required for hook-and-line, bow, or spear. In the Colorado River system (Lakes Mead/Mohave), release any look-alike bonytail or razorback sucker immediately — both are endangered.
