Outdoors with Don Q: A few more days left to fish many California waters
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Wed, 10/30/2013 - 11:18pmThis is my annual reminder that many California waters will close to fishing on Friday, November 15. So if you want to fish any of them, you better hustle because you are rapidly running out of time.
Those waters will not re-open until the last Saturday in April next year (April 26, 2014), and that is a long, long time to wait to wet your line. Here is a partial list of some of the nearby waters that will be closing:

Submitted by admin on Thu, 09/26/2013 - 1:59pmIt’s now officially Fall and it's that unique time of the year again.
This is when the days are very noticeably shorter, the weather is much crisper and Old Man Winter is lurking just around the corner, with all of his cold, frost, snow and ice.
If you were not aware of it, The Sierra Nevada Mountains got their first snow of the year this last Saturday! Winter is on its way!
So, if you would like a last try at fishing some of our higher altitude lakes before they freeze up or are closed for the 2013 season on November 15, here are some suggestions on where to go:

Don Q Outdoors: Go high to have fun, fish and stay cool
Submitted by admin on Thu, 07/25/2013 - 8:39amSigh, it’s that time of the year again.
This is my annual reminder that if you’re someone like me, summer’s sweltering heat is not much fun. I do not like summer months.
I am an outdoors person who dearly loves the cold, frost, ice and snow of winter, and I absolutely and totally wilt at this time of the year.
And, especially, right now, with our record-setting temps in triple digits.
I am miserable and grouchy during hot weather months.
To be honest, I dislike the weather anytime it gets past 80-85 degrees.
Don Q's Fishing Report for the week of July 24
Submitted by admin on Wed, 07/24/2013 - 8:18amANGEL 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.
