Fishing has been fair. Not many people are up fishing due to both ramps being closed for the season. Some anglers are fishing on the west side of the lake by the road and doing fair using inflated crawlers or PowerBait. The Caples Lake Resort will open on December 18th.

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.
