​

Current River Conditions:  264 CFS and clear. River upstream from Hangman's Bridge is catch & release only with barbless hooks from November 16th to April 26, 2025.  

Fishing - Fair:  The section upstream from Hangman's Bridge received a 1500 lb trout plant in December and many of those fish probably have spread out by now.  John Smith who coordinates the stocking for the Alpine County Fish & Game Commission reports that another 1800 lbs of fish will be stocked between now and the April 26 opener.  Markleeville Creek and Silver Creek will be stocked too.  While water temperatures are cold, look for fish in the deeper holes that receive sunlight or reflected light off of bluffs.  Good flies are midge larva or any other dark patterns under #18.  Worms and egg patterns can be good this time of year too.  ​​
