The CDFW has recently planted catchable rainbow trout in both the upper and lower lakes. The fishing has been good to fair. Most have been using Powerbait or inflated nightcrawlers. Early morning risers have done well with various flies. The campground area is open on a first come first serve basis.


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.
