I grew up in Fallon and always found fishing Lahontan to be hit or miss but there are some big fish in there. I know a lot of people fish near the damn and also on the silver spring side where the river comes in. Live bait is always a good way to fish but i havent known anyone that fishes it enough to help. I caution you not to eat anything out of there though, the mercury content in the water and fish is a little high.
If you want some good LMB and trout action i would recommend going 20 minutes South and hit up Mason Valley just over the hill south of silver springs near the power plant. We were there about a month ago and pulled in about 12-15 3 to 4 lb trout and a couple good sized LMB. Message me and I will give you the scoop on where they hide.
