Outdoors with Don Q: Lahontan cutthroat trout fishing in March

This is my annual reminder that if you are a trout fisherman and are new to our area, you may not be aware that some of our best Lahontan Cutthroat Trout fishing is at Pyramid Lake in the month of March.
Pyramid Lake, which is roughly the same surface size as Lake Tahoe, is about 30 miles north of Reno-Sparks, and it contains Lahontan Cutthroat Trout that can weigh more than 20 pounds.

Doug 'Mac the Naw' Busey's Lake Tahoe and Sierra fishing report for Feb. 27

Hello fellow anglers, someone asked me the other day, when does fishing season open? I told him, I fish all year around. The rivers and streams in Alpine County are closed until April 25, 2015, but the lakes are open all year. As for ice fishing, that has come to a close for this year.

Due to our unusually strange winter, the higher lakes have started to thaw out. I talked with John Voss from Caples Lake last week. John said he has not seen such an early thaw in 40 years.

Hello fellow anglers, the fishing report this week will be a little different.

I will give you what reports I have and give you personal tips on other waters. I will tell you one thing though. I will be fishing this weekend somewhere to rid myself of fishing withdrawals.

UNR professor joins scientists to reveal global patterns of specialized feeding in insects

Insects are picky eaters, and not the voracious eat-everything-in-sight bingers that devour all the plants in your garden. After decades of field work from dozens of sites around the world, and after two years of combing through and analyzing data, Matt Forister, associate professor and ecologist from the University of Nevada, Reno, and an international team have reported on global patterns in the diets of insect herbivores.
