The fishing has been slow and the water level has dropped, but fishing has been productive. The CDFW planted the river recently with catchable rainbows. But now hold on to your poles. There are still a lot of those bigger fish that the county planted earlier this year. Drifting a half a night crawler with a small split shot has proven to be successful. The Carson River resort is open for tent camping, cabin rentals and they have full hookups for RV's. With a fully stocked general store for all the things you may have forgotten to bring. For more information call the resort at 209-258-8888.
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.
