This is my annual reminder that a special window set aside for fishing begins on the Friday before Labor Day.
Sept. 2, 2011 is the Opening Day of the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout fishing season at Heenan Lake in nearby Alpine County, Calif.

If you’re interested and if you would like to enjoy a totally different fishing experience, plan to spend Sept. 02 at that easy-to-get-to location.
