Fishing Report - March 08, 2026

The California side of the EW is closed for Winter, just the Nevada side is open now. The flows on the East have been fluctuating quite a bit with the warmer, then colder weather we've been having, today the flows are at 115 cfs. Based on the few reports I've had from down there it sounds like the fish have been pretty tight lipped lately with just a few anglers reporting just a fish or two per day. This might be because the water temps are still very low. I think that if the water temps come up just a bit the stones will start to hatch pretty good and the action should pick up at that time. I'll try to keep you informed on the goings on down there as best I can. If I was going to hit it up I'd be packing some stonefly nymphs, zebra midges, perdigons, pheasant tails, hare's ears, worms and the like. 

We had a few clients on the river this weekend but unfortunately were unable to get any reports back from them. As soon as we hear anything we'll pass it on. 

The Pond is closed for the Winter, we'll let you know when it warms up enough to fish!

Closed for Winter, opening day will be April 25, 2026

California Boater Card

I had a customer call today asking if they needed a California Boater Card if they are not a resident of California, I didn't know the answer at the time but I looked it up, here is the wording in the FAQ section of www.californiaboatercard.com : 

According to California law the following persons are not required to have a boater card to operate a motorized vessel on California waterways:

• A person operating a rental vessel.
• A person operating a vessel while under the direct supervision of a person 18 years of age or older who is in possession of a California Boater Card.
• A person who is a resident of a state other than California who is temporarily operating a vessel in California for less than 60 days and meets the boating requirements, if any, of his/her state.
• A person who is a resident of a country other than the United States who is temporarily operating a vessel in California for less than 90 days and meets the boating requirements, if any, of his/her country.
• A person operating a vessel in an organized regatta or vessel race, or water ski race.
• A person who is in possession of a current commercial fishing license.
• A person who is in possession of a valid marine operator license, for the waters upon which the licensee is operating, issued by the United States Coast Guard, or who is in possession of a valid certificate issued pursuant to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, as amended.
• A person who has successfully completed a boating course approved by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training Post.

Hope this helps clear up some questions!
