Yes, you can pan for gold in the Carson River, but it is not currently considered a likely area to find placer gold. The Comstock Lode area downstream from Carson City through Dayton was mined thoroughly in the late 1800's and there is little accessible gold remaining. Most of the river there is privately owned but some BLM land is near Dayton and the Fort Churchill Road. Only a couple of miles of poorly-accessible public land are along this Comstock reach of the main river. Substantial gold deposits have not been found in other areas of the river.
