Fly Fishing

Here is the Northern Nevada outdoor calendar for the month of March:

By the Nevada Department of Wildlife
While it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to catch a fish, it obviously helps to be one to catch a 39-year old state record for the largest rainbow trout ever caught in Nevada.

Elko angler Mike Mott, who really has worked as a rocket scientist, caught the 16-pound, 8-ounce behemoth on Feb.10 at Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). It measured 30 1/2 inches long and its girth, according to Mott, is about 20 inches.

Here is the Northern Nevada Outdoor Calendar for the Month of March.

Saturday evening, March 5, will be the date of my all-time favorite fundraiser: The highly-popular and fun-filled, Carson Valley Chukar Club fundraiser, which will be held as usual at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.
More importantly, this year’s version will be its 25th.

Wow! 25 years! Congrats for all you have done for Nevada’s wildlife!

Yesterday, September 11, was the opening day for the new Fuji Park fishing pond. I was driving by and I saw a large crowd gathered on the banks of the pond, so I figured I could stop by and get some pictures. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. The Carson Fly Fishing Club was there handing out doughnuts.
