It has begun! NEW

by TROUT CREEK OUTFITTERS
  It has begun! While the opener this year maybe wasn’t as good as years past, there were still countless 20+ pound fish caught in just the first week alone and overall things are looking promising for another excellent year at the lake.

Topaz Lake Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY / Carson Now
Renee and I fished the lake just before our trip and caught 18 nice trout up to 14 inches. The lake level has dropped a little. We fished the whole lake and could see fish everywhere. I usually throw flies and have great luck on the lake. This trip, nada! Meaning, not a one would touch my flies. So we went to trolling perch and
