The fishing is slow. A couple of anglers have picked up a few small ones in the Woodfords Canyon area. But if you want to see some beautiful fall colors, head up to Hope Valley and enjoy the aspen trees in all their splendor.

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.
