Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Fri, 10/11/2013 - 12:44amHello fellow anglers. I would like to start out by telling you of a friend of mine. I started writing this column in 1992.

The most influential and most informative was Dave Zellmer from the Alpine County Fish and Game Commission.

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.
