When snow has fallen here in the high desert, Ely’s Winter Season is in full swing. Our backcountry terrain has already become legendary to snowmobilers and skiers, but did you know that White Pine County is the southernmost point in the state for consistent ice fishing? It also happens to be home to some trout and pike populations. If you’ve never given ice fishing a try, there’s no better time to get outside and drop a line.
There’s Illipah Reservoir, which covers up to 70 surface acres with a maximum depth of 50 feet. Illipah actually receives the most ice in the area, even in drier winters.
Of course, there’s Comins where this year’s Ice Fishing Derby takes place. At capacity, it covers 401 surface acres, has a maximum depth of 14 feet, and an average depth of about 8 feet.

Elks Annual Crab Crack
2025-03-08 17:00 - 22:00 | Ely Elks Lodge, 694 Campton St., Ely, NV, 89301, United States
Elks Annual Crab Crack
Make sure you’re not wearing your Saturday best during this year’s Crab Crack on February 1st and March 8th at the Elks Annual Crab Crack, because attempting to be dainty is a losing strategy at this type of event. For most people, this is another great gathering at the table with some friends and family.
This event serves 500 pounds of crab that is shipped to Ocean Beauty Distributors in Salt Lake from Fisheries in Astoria, Oregon. Volunteers from the lodge drive to Salt Lake to pick up the frozen crab on Wednesday before the event. The crab is thawed and served at just the right temperature. Along with the crab, 60 pounds of coleslaw and 50 loaves of garlic bread, cocktail sauce and 39 pounds of melted butter is also served with dinner.
You arrive to your seat, and plate of crab legs, a “crab cracker”, and bib awaits each guest.
$60 per ticket
$85 for steak and crab
You see many guests holding a conversation while cracking open crab legs, pulling the meat off with their hands popping it in their mouth and continuing on their journey of disassembling a crab leg for all of the meat it has to offer. Some choose to wear the bib that is provided, and others try to maintain their fashion trend by opting out on the bib option.
Contact the Ely Elks for more information and tickets at (775) 293 – 2736.
