On the opener I saw a few angler with rainbows up to 4 lbs. The average fish were in the 14 to 16 inch range. Most were caught on a nightcrawler ro power eggs and a couple pinch weights. The river was running at 1050 cfm and calmed down a little to 825 cfm as of this week. The water is stained but still has a good bit of clarity. Bradley and Chloe Brubaker from Orangevale CA caught a nice 2.5 lb rainbow in front o the Carson River resort using a nightcrawler. Fishing has been good along the river from Hangman's Bridge to the second bridge. For more information or to get your picture taken for this report, stop by the Carson River Resort.
