The river is full of fish. The county planted the river twice last fall and again for the opening day weekend. But the water is running fast, very cold and a little cloudy. Fishing has been slow for both lure and bait anglers. I walked 3.4 of a mile along the river last week and got not one hit.

I personally will wait for the water temps to rise a little. But I must say, we had the best time over the opening day weekend. We stayed at the Carson River resort Rv park. The owner, Phil, smoked up some brisket one day and some ribs another day. All anglers that stayed the weekend gathered around the wood stove and told fish stories for hours. I met new friends and saw old friends. For more information call the Carson River resort at 530-694-2229.
