Hey,

I currently live in south Florida, but I also will be moving to Reno Nevada / Carson City in May.

FRom the swamps/suburbia to desert/winter wonderland.

I have no clue about fishing there, but I will be following your thread.

d**n, didn't notice date.

Well if anyone knows a good place around carson city let me know ty.

Your are moving to the eastern slope of the High Sierra mountain range known for it’s trout fishing. The trophy fish in that area are Brown trout that will strike minnow profile bass lures like Rapala’s and swimbaits. 

The only bass lake I know of near Carson City is Washoe and Carson River. Walker river and. blue both bass.

Well...I don't know what the bass fishing is like around there, but your backyard is basically lake Tahoe, and that is a world class trout fishery. I wouldn't be surprised to find bass there, but I don't have any first hand knowledge about it. Your about 3 or 4 hours away from Clear Lake in California too, it's out of state with the usual inconveniences and requirements associated with such situations, but it's a solid fishery for bass no doubt.

In case he's still looking for places to fish (LOL), I would suggest Lake Lahontan, which is about 40 miles east of Carson City near Silver Springs. Tons of white bass and some largemouth back when I used to camp there a long time ago. A few trout too. No telling what the fishery is like today as it get drawn down quite low some years and this may have impacted the fishery.
