The fishing has been good. As you may see from the pictures. Jerimaiah and Andrew had good luck. Renee and I ventured up for a day or so. We did not catch any large fish, but we caught plenty of fish. Talked with a few anglers and they were doing well also. Orange power eggs from those fishing on the bottom. I used a yellow and silver Panther Martin spinner. I fished in the flat waters as well as the faster waters and we both caught fish. One other thing that was working very well was salmon peach Powerbait. Just a small amount to cover your hook with 16 inches between your pinch weight and the hook. Note: do not use too heavy of a weight or you will get stuck a lot. For the fly anglers, copper johns with a trailer were working well. The Carson River resort is open for RV and tent camping. They alot have log cabins for rent and a fully stocked bait-tackle and grocery store. For more info call 209-258-8888.
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.
