The fishing has been very good for good sized rainbows. Remember it is catch and release with artificial lures or flies with barbless hooks. If you want to take a picture, keep the fish in the water in a net. Do not handle the fish as it will remove the protective coating they have on their body. Plus the regs state, released unharmed and alive. The Carson River Resort is open all year long for cabin rentals, and for those with a little gumption. They have a tent right on the river. If you plan on wanting to stay, I would make reservations quickly, as they do fill up fast. For more information go to carsonriverresort.com or call 530-694-2229.
