Tiger Trout caught in Spooner Lake and identified as a Water Record Only. 2020 NEVADA TROPHY FISH PROGRAM Welcome to the Nevada Department of Wildlife’s Trophy Fish Program that began in 1968. This booklet recognizes the talents, or luck, of anglers for catching notable-sized fish from many of the over 800 waterbodies found around the state. This program allows anglers to catch 30 different fish species, each having a designated minimum weight for entry. To help us out, please include on the entry form the “specific location” where your fish was caught. Most importantly, add the “mountain range” or other location-identifying characteristics for stream caught fish, because there are multiple streams in the state having the same name. Additionally, it is important to include a clear photograph for us to make a positive identification. Several species look very similar, so holding the fish broadside with the mouth closed for example can be critical. Multiple photos taken at different angles may also help. It is essential that if you believe you have caught a state record fish, you must have it weighed on a scale that is “certified” and have an NDOW employee witness it. Although 2020 was an unusual year, it still was great for enjoying the outdoors in solitude. Anglers took advantage of the wonderful fishing the state had to offer and entered their catches into the Trophy Fish Program. Congratulation goes out to the 35 anglers that entered 274 fish in 2020. Of the total fish caught, 259 fish met the minimum weight, with 180 being Carp, 30 being Cutthroat Trout, and 21 being Rainbow Trout. The remaining fish were a mix of eight different species. The top angler was Brenden Burnham, entering 129 Carp (over 15 pounds) and 2 Channel Catfish (over 10 pounds). He caught the only state record for the year, a 35 pound 3 ounce Carp from Virginia Lake. Furthermore, he caught an unofficial state record Carp weighing 36 pounds 7 ounces from the same body of water. Steve Godsell came in at a distant second having entered 26 Carp and Louis Varela entering 13 Carp. These fish came from local ponds around the Reno area. Special mention should also go to Walter Ricci, catching 5 Carp out of Lake Mead ranging from 18 pounds to 22 pounds 10 ounces. Adam Garcia entered 23 Cutthroat Trout from Pyramid Lake all weighing over 10 pounds. His largest being a massive 20 pounds 8 ounces. Rick Gomez, fishing out of Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge, entered an amazing 11 Rainbow Trout and 7 tiger trout, with the largest weighing 6 pounds 5 ounces and 6 pounds 2 ounces, respectively. Entries for establishing “water records only” need not meet the minimum species weight requirements and many are caught from water bodies having no previous entry. This year, 35 new water records were established, mostly for streams. Nevada Department of Wildlife manages fisheries in over 600 streams and rivers around the state, many having remarkable fisheries but receiving little angling use. Additionally, some of the over 200 lakes, reservoirs, and ponds continue to be without records, especially for some species. Like last year, Bill Hammons continued his efforts to increase his angling resume by adding another 10 fish that established new records or broke existing ones. Great Job! Finally, in 2020, congratulation goes to Michael John Matus, the 21st angler to earn a Nevada Native Fish Slam, which he began in 2017. The Native Fish Slam is a great way to explore the diverse, but infrequently visited streams that overshadow the state. As usual, the following pages describe current and historical trophy fish catches from Nevada’s waters. We hope the great success that anglers found last year will excite you to head out and enjoy the great fishing Nevada has to offer.

    Tectonic Influences on the Spatial and Temporal Evolution of the Walker Lane: an Incipient Transform Fault Along the Evolving Pacific – North American Plate Boundary

    Arizona Geological Society Digest 22 2008 Tectonic influences on the spatial and temporal evolution of the Walker Lane: An incipient transform fault along the evolving Pacific – North American plate boundary James E. Faulds and Christopher D. Henry Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, University of Nevada, Reno, Nevada, 89557, USA ABSTRACT Since ~30 Ma, western North America has been evolving from an Andean type mar- gin to a dextral transform boundary. Transform growth has been marked by retreat of magmatic arcs, gravitational collapse of orogenic highlands, and periodic inland steps of the San Andreas fault system. In the western Great Basin, a system of dextral faults, known as the Walker Lane (WL) in the north and eastern California shear zone (ECSZ) in the south, currently accommodates ~20% of the Pacific – North America dextral motion. In contrast to the continuous 1100-km-long San Andreas system, discontinuous dextral faults with relatively short lengths (<10-250 km) characterize the WL-ECSZ. Cumulative dextral displacement across the WL-ECSZ generally decreases northward from ≥60 km in southern and east-central California, to ~25 km in northwest Nevada, to negligible in northeast California. GPS geodetic strain rates average ~10 mm/yr across the WL-ECSZ in the western Great Basin but are much less in the eastern WL near Las Vegas (<2 mm/ yr) and along the northwest terminus in northeast California (~2.5 mm/yr). The spatial and temporal evolution of the WL-ECSZ is closely linked to major plate boundary events along the San Andreas fault system. For example, the early Miocene elimination of microplates along the southern California coast, southward steps in the Rivera triple junction at 19-16 Ma and 13 Ma, and an increase in relative plate motions ~12 Ma collectively induced the first major episode of deformation in the WL-ECSZ, which began ~13 Ma along the N60°W-trending Las Vegas Valley shear zone.

It has occupied a criti- cal structural position in the western Cordillera since Mesozoic time. In the Cretaceous through early Tertiary, it stood just east and north of major fold and thrust belts and also marked the northern end of a broad, gently (~15o) north-plunging uplift (Kingman arch) that extended southeastward through much of central Arizona. Mesozoic and Paleozoic strata were stripped from the arch by northeast-flowing streams. Peraluminous 65 to 73 Ma granites were emplaced at depths of at least 10 km and exposed in the core of the arch by earliest Miocene time. Calc-alkaline magmatism swept northward through the northern Colorado River extensional corridor during early to middle Miocene time, beginning at ~22 Ma in the south and ~12 Ma in the north.
