    The east Carson is blown out also. Its at 950 today and its been pretty cold today so it should come down more but I won't start fishing it until its in the 500 cfs range. Indian creek will be a good option the lake gets double stocked just like the rivers. DFG plants the normal stockers and Alpine county chamber of commerce plants " trophy" fish in the 3-10+ range. I fished it with a buddy on my 2 man pontoon sunday best bite was 1-3 and all on the pheasant tail 8' down in 10-12 of water. Good luck this weekend.

    the weather should still be cool enough so the rattlesnakes won't be out yet.
    ICR can and does get very windy.

    This link shows ICR opens the 27th. I would contact them to verify before you go.

    If the campground at ICR isnt open try the carson river resort it's only 10 minutes from ICR. Just past markleeville.

    Default Truckee and E. Carson Flows

    Truckee topped out at 2200cfs at Farad
    E. Carson 1450CFS and rising
    The "T" looked like chocolate milk below Squaw this afternoon.

    The forecast for this weekend is 50-60s. Warm so expect the flows to rise as the day goes on. There is still snow

    Classic Opener, look for flat water or tail waters or go ski at Squaw for their closing weekend.
