Fishing has still been productive

Fishing has still been productive. The fish are scattered up and down the river, so you will have to do a lot of river hopping like we did. You may catch a lot of small fish, but there are still many 2- to 5-pound rainbows in there. My best advice is to hit the headwaters with a small weight and half a threaded nightcrawler. Right now, the fish are a little spooked on spinners. For more information, go to carsonriverresorts.com or call 530-694-2229.
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.
