The river is running low but very fishable. The county is planning to stock some rainbow trout before the opener. If you fish the Woodfords Canyon area. Bring a warm coat. The sun does not shine in that area for most of the day this time of year.

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.
