Trout seasons open Saturday; bad roads

(AP) - State wildlife officials are warning that northern Nevada anglers may be the ones who get caught if they venture onto rutted, muddy roads on the way to some popular trout fisheries when the season opens Saturday.

NDOW spokesman Chris Healy says the snowy winter and wet spring will make it difficult for even four-wheel drive vehicles to get to parts of Humboldt County's Pine Forest mountains around Denio near the Oregon line.

He says road conditions are best described as "tenuous" on the way to the Onion Valley Reservoir, Blue Lakes and Knott Creek Reservoir.

Campgrounds at Onion Valley are still partially covered in snow and drifts block parts of the access roads. Healy says you can't get to Blue Lakes without driving to Onion Valley, so that's even worse.
