Fishing has still been good. Prepare yourself for a lot of walking from ripple to ripple and hole to hole. The fish are scattered, but there are still plenty of nice fish in there. On my last trip, I used a pinched nightcrawler in the deeper holes and a Panther Martin spinner across the ripples. I saw a nice 3- to 4-pound rainbow follow my spinner twice, but never got a taker.

On November 16th, the regulations change to zero limit, artificial lures or flies only, with barbless hooks. The Carson River Resort is open all year for tent or RV camping. They also have cabin rentals and a fully stocked store with a very nice wood stove that never goes out. For more information, call 530-694-2229 or go to carsonriverresorts.com.
