Northern Nevada
is often
overlooked as a fly fishing destination while actually our proximity to
outstanding fisheries is beyond compare. Our "Local Waters" extend
from Pyramid Lake to the north, to the high altitude lakes of Yosemite
National Park to the south. From Nevada's desert lakes, reservoirs'
and rolling rivers to the East and California's Salmon and Steelhead
rivers to the West. Giant historic Lahontan cutthroat to leery and
colorful Golden trout are all within reasonable driving distances of
The Angler's Edge.
The area
hosts numerous lakes, rivers, streams and creeks stocked by various state,
county and local agencies, as well as trophy catch and release wild trout
areas such as the East Fork of the Carson River just outside Markleeville,
California and the Rosaschi Ranch section of the East Walker River in
Nevada.
Crystal clear, glacier fed. high altitude
lakes holding Rainbow, Brook, Brown, Cutthroat and
Golden Trout are right here in our backyard. The solitude and scenic
beauty of the area is second to none and holds countless breathtaking
views awaiting personal discovery.
While the area entertains numerous "drive
up" accessible locations for great fishing, spectacular scenery and
phenomenal fishing awaits for those who are willing to hike 30 minutes (or
more) from their bumper. Whether you're an addict to fly fishing or
an all around outdoor enthusiast, the Eastern Sierra is sure to hold
something special for you. You'll certainly want to be sure and
bring your camera along to document the views as well as those once in a
life time catches you're sure to land while you're here.
Pack a 3 weight for creeks that have held
wild trout for a century. Gear up the 6 weight with a big bug for
long casts on Caples Lake for Mackinaw Trout (that's right, Lake Trout on
a fly rod) or lumbering logs laying deep in the East Walker River.
Witness crystal clear glacial lakes that struggle to become iced off in
July, holding Golden Trout waiting for a # 20 or smaller adams.
Fish for wild trout on rivers that shared stagecoach trails of by-gone
days and loose yourself in the history of the gold & silver rush, and the
hearty souls that settled the West.
