The river is still running high for this time of year at 120 CFS, it is usually around 70 CFS in October. The Alpine County Fish and Game planted the river a couple weeks ago. Fishing was furious for a day or so, then the fish just shut their mouths. Not sure if it was due to a temperature drop or change in water conditions. You can find and see many fish still in the river. But are reluctant to bite. Puma Costuros from San Rafael CA caught a 5.1 lb rainbow using a nightcrawler. I fished from 7am to about 1pm last weekend and caught two nice rainbows. But you do have to work for them. Russ Morones Manager for the Nevada Fence company from Carson City caught a 3 lb rainbow using a Panther Martin spinner. For more information stop by the Carson River Resort.
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.
