Due to rapidly changing weather conditions in the Sierra and northern Nevada, anglers are urged to call ahead to the sources at the end of each area description for reports on the latest road and water conditions. Fishing has been pretty good this past week, especially in the area of the Spring Creek campground. Nightcrawlers and Powerbait still working well for bank fishermen. Frog pattern lures are productive for trollers. Good turnout for the opener despite windy weather.
All campgrounds are open.
Fishing rated fair overall, however some anglers are doing very well. Trolling and flyfishing consistently improving with shore fishing spotty. Water temperatures on Tuesday were running 53 to 55 degrees. Wind can be a problem, however most days the mornings are calm. Jack Miller from Verdi who was fishing at Mallard Cove last Wednesday caught four fish, but at noon Tuesday he had just gotten his first bite.
