The water level is low, but there are plenty of areas that are still holding fish. Mel Hall from Paradise CA caught a couple nice cutthroat trout this week. A small pinch weight and a salmon egg have been most productive in the deeper pools. Most areas are too low to use a spinner. For more information stop by the Carson River Resort. They are open all year for cabin and camping.

Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to nevada@fishreports.com. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
