Comments:

The East Fork of the Carson usually fishes well this time of year. Fly patterns vary as do methods, depending on the water, time of day, hatches, etc. Lakes are near by (1/2 to 1 hour), including Red/Caples/Blue/Silver Lakes, etc. Cabins, campgrounds, and RV hook-ups are right there at Carson River Resort or in Markleeville (2½ miles away) and various spots along the river. Food is also available in Markleeville. The weather should be nice during the day and cold at night. If you plan on staying in the cabins at the resort, make reservations early!
