Current River Conditions:  56 CFS and clear

Fishing - Fair: We just received a report that the river was stocked by the county last week.  We also heard that the Alpine County Fish & Game Commission has been and is considering in the future to spread the stocking locations out to avoid the problem with crowds gathering to fish at the stocking site.  Additionally we were informed that they have been planting fish in riffle water which tends to disperse them further. They also feel that by doing so it will provide a higher quality of fishing experience particularly for the fly fishing anglers. The high country is beginning to see some low 30s in the evening which should improve things over time.​

AREA CREEKS AND LAKES

Indian Creek Reservor (updated 8/18/24)

Fishing has been slow due to algae and warm water. Now that weather is predicted to cool algae should start diminishing soon and fishing will improve.  

Wolf Creek (updated 10/1/24)

Our most recent report is that it's been fishing pretty good as it has cooler water thatn the Carson.  Try fishing between the campground and the river.  

​
Markleeville Creek (updated 10/1/24)

The creek hasn't been planted for over a month so it's not a good call.  

​

Henan Lake (updated 9/5/24) OPEN

We don't have any reports yet but will post them as soon as we can.
