I don't have to tell you how rare that is. How I found this place was to go into tiny little grocery store gas station things and ask the clerks or customers if they knew of any sweet fishing spots on the Carson. Two I bombed out on, the third was golden. This guy gave me directions for a side road, told me to go up until I saw a bridge, find a place to park and go up about a quarter mile and we'd see a nice pool, they said there were some really noce trout in that pool, and yes there were.

We make sure to hit this spot whenever we are at Topaz Lake now.

We take a bag in so we can pick up trash, it's always blown me away what pigs people are on private land that owners are good enough to allow people on. People will picnic with a small group and leave all their cans and paper plates behind, they leave it looking like a garbage dump.

I looked at a 25 acre property on a small river that had beautiful pools and waterfalls. It was a popular spot to hike to from the road. We looked into the legalities of liability for public access, and we were of the frame of mind to post and enforce trespassing for two reasons, one was that people had made such a mess that it was a cleanup project, we would have wanted to keep it pristine, the other was that a paramedic friend said they had to bring helicopters in to retrieve people with broken limbs from the waterfalls slipping into rocks in pools several times a year, and that most resulted in lawsuits against the property owner...get this, for not enforcing trespassing signs.

Wow! I wonder what a judge in Texas would do in such a case? Trespass and then sue! Just Sayin...RJS

I guess everybody is different. Whenever I'm out "in the middle of nowhere" (or ANYWHERE, for that matter) and see a "No Trespassing" sign and I don't know the landowner ahead of time; that's when I try to go right back the way I arrived at the sign.

Yeah, makes me sick when people given the privilege to fish someone’s land leave trash behind. I too take a bag to remove the beer cans, worm boxes and assorted what nots. What is wrong with these individuals?

Hello Woodgurr, I live in Carson City and fish Topaz Lake. Can you give me the location of this spot to mentioned? Would love to check it out. Thanks

On a similar note:
I had an uncle who farmed. There'd be quite a bit of vegetables still in the fields after harvest, and he let people go in and glean. Instead of walking in, they'd drive their cars into the fields. They crushed his aluminum irrigation pipes, damaged dirt berms that directed water, left a lot of trash, took shortcuts across planted fields, cut down fences, every problem you can imagine. His land was posted after that. You have to just let good food rot rather than deal with the problems.

I'll look at a map to identify the little bitty town a bit south of the California border, and it is a road to the left as you are going south on 395 just to the south side of town. I have a decent memory for where I've been when I see it, but not so much for street names, heck I can't even remember the name of that little town.

Could it be Coleville?

That sounds right
