The lake level is still high. The boat ramp is a little low, but usable. I spoke with a couple anglers this week while I was up there and they caught their limit of nice rainbow trout. They were using small cowbells and a worm. The upper lake was not open to traffic but is accessible to hike into. The CDFW recently plante the upper lake with catchable rainbows. If you have never been up there. I would recommend taking a drive up and enjoying the beauty of the area. From Highway 88 it is about seven miles in on a paved road. Each turn is a picture postcard through Faith valley and along the west fork of the Carson River. There are a couple small campgrounds along the road, but also has many private primitive camping areas.
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 [email protected]. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
