East Carson River, CA Fly Fishing Report **September 15, 2010**

Date: 9-15-2010, 1 to 5:30 PM
Results: Two rainbows 14" and 12"
Method: Two fly nymph rig and caught both fish on the bottom fly, #16 bead head Prince Nymph.
Location: On highway 4 just north of the of the hwy 89 split.
Fishing was unexpectedly slow this afternoon, even when I switched to my dry-dropper set-up, which was successful on the 13th. After catching the two fish within the first 45 minutes I expected a more productive afternoon. Guess I should have caught the two fish and then taken a nap!

East Carson River, CA Fly Fishing Report **September 13, 2010**

Date: 9-13-2010, 2 to 5 PM
Results: Four rainbows, 8 to 12" and one brown 15".
Method: Dry, royal stimulator #14 and dropper #18, bead head green sparkle emerger.
Location: I fished the section just about the highway 89 and 4 split. This section is known to hold large stocked rainbows up to 27", but competeing with spin casters intent on "taking fish" is a challenge at times. The river below the bridge just east of Marleeville is restricted to catch and release single barbless hooks only. Having fished that area on a previous trip I know that it can be productive also. I recommend that a visit to the Tahoe Flyfishing Outfitters in S. Lake Tahoe for the latest info and river conditions.
