SPECIAL REGULATIONS FOR
CALIFORNIA WATERS

​

Current River Conditions:  47 CFS and clear. 

Fishing - Good : We fished the E Carson on Friday with poor results.  We could see plenty of fish but they had lock jaw.  If you go, I would recommend fishing between 8am and 10am and the key is to try different locations on the river as the fish are moving around looking for cool water.  Most fish are in deeper pools. ​

​

The special regulations section downstream from Hangman's Bridge has been fishing OK with fish keying on Hopper patterns.  Hopper dropper rigs work best when the water is low during this time of the  year.

AREA CREEKS AND LAKES  

Indian Creek Reservor (updated 9/25/25)

Planted by CDFW about a week ago​

Wolf Creek (updated 9/25/26)

The creek is now down to wadeable levels. Fishing for wild Brookies should be good up in the meadow.  Be careful not to trespass as some of the meadow is on private property. 

​
Markleeville Creek (updated 9/25/26)

Was planted a couple of weeks ago and CDFW will be again planting fish sometime this fall once the water cools off.  

​​

Henan Lake (updated 9/25/26) OPEN
Tahoe Fly Fishing Outfitters reports that the lake is in the process of turning over and that the fish are being found in the middle depths at the current time.  More information should be available within a week or two.
