The river is running low at 53 CFS, but very fishable for those that do not mind a little walk. Power eggs or salmon eggs and a split shot have been most productive. James Blume from Pioneer CA was staying at the Carson River Resort with family and caught a nice 2.36 lb rainbow using a Mepps spinner. The CDFW and Alpine County Fish and Game planted the rivers heavily a couple weeks ago with nice rainbows. Special note; from Hangman's bridge downstream to the NV state line. There are special regulations. Artificial lures or flys only with barbless hooks. You can keep two fish 14 inches and bigger. 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.
