We made one recent trip here mainly to see what’s up after not fishing it since spring, resulting in a good number of browns and rainbows up to 18” while lure fishing Panther Martins. The brush and reeds are thick in some spots after their summer growing season, making it difficult to access some of the sweet bends. However, there’s still plenty of open areas to fish. As we get into winter, the brush and reeds will go dormant, making access easier, and we’ll fly and lure fish more as a warmer, milder option to the Upper Owens.

 



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.
