The river up past Hangman's bridge is perfect for fishing right now. I spoke to a couple fly anglers that had good success for nice rainbows in the 2 to 3 lb class. They were using a copper jon or a hare's ear. The road is closed about 4 mile up from the Carson River Resort over Ebbetts and Monitor Pass. But now that gives you a couple options here. You can bring your snowmobile and your fishing pole, stay at the Carson River resort and make a nice weekend out of both worlds. But if you want to stay in the 100 year old river cabin right next to the river. I would call ahead and make a reservation quickly. For more information call 530-694-2229 or go to carsonriverresort.com.
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 [email protected]. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
