Boca: (31,200 Acre Feet) Inflow is at 117 c.f.s. and the outflow is 118 c.f.s. Shore fishing has been fair to good. The California Department of Fish and Game is now stocking Boca once again. Fly fishing near the inlet had been fair to good. Most anglers were using nymphs or streamers.

W. Carson/Canyon: Being stocked by Alpine and CDF&G. Water is getting a bit low. Olive and black buggers did well, hare's ear and PT's with a San Juan drop did well also. Dries: Adams, humpies, EHC in a 14 or 16, stimi's with a drop, PMDs. For the spin fishermen: Small kastermasters in silver and we heard that the buoyant (orange) still producing.

Lake Tahoe: Fishing has been fair to good for mackinaw. A guide is highly recommended if you are fishing for mackinaw for the first time. Toplining and shore fishing is fair to good. Most shore fishermen use inflated nightcrawlers.

Little Truckee River: Artificial lures with barbless hooks and a two-fish limit with a maximum size limit of 14 inches. The flow has been reduced to 117 c.f.s. Stealth and small flies are a must on this water.

Martis Lake: Zero kill. Catch and release only with barbless artificial lures or flies. Fishing is typically the best early and late in the season at this lake. Water has warmed up and the fish are deep or around springs. Try nymphs and streamers. Midges are also very good early season.

E. Walker Below Dam: It fished excellent this past week. Dry action on Para Madame X, olive caddis, humpies Could not keep them off of a BSB in size 14 or 12. Large streamers were promptly whacked at; not heard anything that they are not taking. A nice mix of yearlings and larger fish.

Little Walker River: Still fishing nicely. Up river isn't getting the cast and dash treatment, so you'll get into the little wilds a little better. Royal coachman, wulff, EHC adams all small. Small streamers in olive black and a crystal yellow.

Other Waters: Davis Lake and Frenchman Reservoir has slowed with the warmer temperatures. Fish still are being caught, but the fish are deeper with the warmer water temperatures.
