by KENS SPORTING GOODS STAFF
The ranch is still fishing very well for most of the anglers who've fished it this past week, as with the CA side it's mainly been nymphing with a few anglers doing well with streamers. The streamer action seems to be the best early in the day.

The lake is full and the fishing has been good to fair for small rainbows

by DOUG BUSEY / Carson Now
The lake is full and the fishing has been good to fair for small rainbows. Trollers have done well with Rapalas on the road side and the south end.
