The lake level has dropped about 5 feet. A couple weeks ago, they had the first annual Caples Lake Kids Fishing Day. The lake was planted with 1800 lbs of 1 to 5 lb rainbow trout. Courtesy of Alpine County and the Alpine County Fish and Game Commission. Also a great thank you to Mike and Gwen Niccoli, the owners of the Caples Lake Resort for their support. There were a couple hundred kids that fishied and there were some nice fish caught up to a couple lbs. Trolling has been good for anglers on toward the spillway using flashers and worms, or a small silver spinner with a ball bearing swivel. Shore anglers have been doing fair off the dam or near the spillway with inflated nightcrawlers or yellow powerbait. The EID day use and boat ramp will remain open until the first winter weather heads our way. For more information stop by the Caples Lake 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.
