With our recent weather, make sure you take in a few extra supplies for warmth. It has been getting a little cooler that way. The road is still open with some mud now mixed in. Fishing has been fair for shore anglers on the lower lake. Average rainbow has been 9 to 14 inches. The lake was recently planted by CDFW and is scheduled to be planted next week with catchable rainbow trout.

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.
