The river is running very low. Fishing has been slow, and if you want to find fish, you will have to take a long walk through Hope Valley. There are some areas in Woodfords Canyon that still hold fish, but prepare for a steep climb. As of November 15th, catch and release only with artificial lures or flies with barbless hooks.



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.
