Which is now... Green Lake!

This time of year, the lake turns over and takes on a nice shade of green. The lake is still quite fishable, and I have reports from a couple of anglers who caught a few small rainbows and a brook trout.

They were using inflated nightcrawlers.

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.
