The river is low but still vey fishable for those that do not mind a little walking. Drifting salmon eggs into the deeper areas has been productive. Down in the Woodfords canyon area I saw a few small rainbows in the faster deeper waters. I spoke with one angler using a copper jon and a prince nymph and had been doing fair. The CDFW planted the river last week with catchable rainbows.

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.
