 The river is running low right now, but very fishable. The CDFW planted the river a week ago with catchable rainbows. I have not heard back from Alpine County to see when they will be planting fish. A few anglers have been catching some nice rainbows up to 3 lbs using green or salmon peach powerbait.  A few fly anglers have been nymping the faster waters and doing well. As we get into August, they should be letting a little more water out of Kinney reservoir to raise the river up a bit. For more information stop by the Carson River Resort.


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.
