Was it because someone had a serious injury? Nope.
Was it because there had been some bad news? Nope.

It was time to do something I’ve been putting off for months. Reinstalling the tubeless tires on my mountain bike. Not only is the task time consuming compared to a simple inner tube installation, but you also need an air compressor, a piece of equipment I don’t have. So as is customary, I picked up some quality beer, and headed over to my friend’s house to get this project done.

Here are some examples of what I have experienced around Carson City – Do any of these sound familiar to you?

ANGEL LAKE, ELKO COUNTY, NEV:
The Nevada Department of Wildlife (http://www.ndow.org) reports:
Fishing varies from day to day, with some days being good, while others being slow. Best time of day is from about 6:00 am to 10:30 am and then again after the shadows start to hit the water in late afternoon.
Best conditions seem to be with a 5 to 10 mph breeze, putting a small chop on the water.
A few fish are being taken with small dry flies, mostly yellow in color, but most of the luck is still coming with nymphs below an indicator or dry fly.
