West Carson River (Non-Yak)

Did a solo trip to the West Carson on Sunday Sept. 30.  Beautiful day with afternoon temps in the low 70's, am temp when I first arrived at o'dark thirty was 32.  Aspen trees are changing color and the fishing was HOT....HOT.........HOT!  Ended up catching and releasing 66 in the same spot.  4 or 5 were Alpine County planters which went 3 to 5 lbs. and the rest were DFG stockers 10 to 12".  The DFG planters would jump almost all the way across the pool and then make multiple jumps.  I caught about half the rainbows on Micro-lite spinning gear and the other half on 2 wt. fly gear.  One bow that would have gone 3 to 5 lbs. snapped me off on the 2 wt. after I managed to fight it around 5 minutes.  Had one rude dude arrive and set up and start fishing directly across from me in the same hole.   

nice fishing,you shouldve went home and grab your pa and dump it in there then you ask him hows the fishing two things that are missing in todays society common sense and common courtesy

Awesome! 66 in the same spot!?!? That's amazing! Good for you, a day to remember for sure.

I am sure I caught a few multiple times, it was not until late in the day that they finally realized the strange looking bugs might not be good to eat!   
DFG did a hellacious plant, there were a LOT of fish in that area and there are still a LOT of fish there. 

Sweet vid. Man that's a small section of water. I didn't get any trout fishing in this year so thanks for sharing
