Approximately 500 pounds of fish were planted in Rough Creek on March 2 with the help of local community members and the Mineral County Advisory Board.
It was a sunny day in Nevada on March 2 as members of the community along with members of the Mineral County Advisory Board to Manage Wild life came together to help the Nevada Department of Wildlife plant fish in Rough Creek.
They met at the turn off to the headwaters of Rough Creek by Carl Glasow, NDOW Fish Hatchery Technician II with the truck loaded with approximately 500 pounds of fish to be planted in Rough Creek. They ranged in size from six to nine inches in length.
Local fish historian, Frank Barcellos filled Glasow in on information about Rough Creek who was there for his first time. He enjoyed all the information Barcellos gave him.
As a reminder, new fishing licenses were available for purchase starting March 1. Before fishing any waters in Nevada you must have a currant fishing license in your possession.
Thank you to those who took off from work to join the fish planting project.
Where exactly are the headwaters of “Rough Creek” ? Or , better yet where was the picture taken.Without the exact location, this story is …
Heidi Bunch wrote an identical story that appeared in 2014, and almost the exact photo. Heidi…can YOU tell me where the plant spot is on Rough Creek ? Most of the entire creek is on Flying M Ranch property and inaccessible (lawfully).
The plant spot for Rough Creek is in Mineral County. The headwaters are not on the Flying M Ranch. My Dad, Frank Barcellos, traveled to Rough Creek by way of Lucky Boy Summit. They planted fish only in Mineral County. The lower end of Rough Creek is in Lyon County. I hope that answers your question

Your answer is not an answer…”By way of Lucky Boy Summit” ? Lucky Boy PASS covers a lot of territory, and “they planted fish only in Mineral county” ? WHERE at in Mineral County ? Is it in the general area of the creek ABOVE the Flying M ranch house, (where you have the water crossing) or is it downstream from the Ranch house crossing ? Did they plant the fish in the meadow area near Fletcher , before the turn-off to Yerington , where the wooden sign is ?. Did they plant the fish in the creek where it runs parallel to the road to Bodie ?
The County line is 2 and one half miles north of the water crossing and everywhere south of that is PRIVATE PROPERTY , so that means the area has to be somewhere south of the ranch crossing. probably and before the road to Bodie. I’ll find it …I HAVE to…
