hello

Hello fellow anglers, Wishing you a warm and a happy holiday fishing season. Although many areas in our local area have closed for the season, we still have plenty of options to keep on fishing. The lakes in the higher altitudes have started to freeze and ice fishing will be upon us soon. I ask anglers to resist the urge to venture out on lakes and ponds until we have at least eight inches of solid ice.

Just another day in the neighborhood.

We usually find this guy in the back yard, but today he came to the front door to say hello. We have named him Arnold. He usually visits in the back yard to eat my apples and hang out with the chickens. He resides off East Nye Lane in Carson City.

A weak La Nina has arrived and may stick around through winter, NOAA announced Thursday. Forecasters say the climate phenomena will likely contribute to drier and warmer weather in the southern U.S. and wetter, cooler conditions in the Pacific Northwest and across to the northern tier of the nation this winter.

Hello fellow anglers, We only have a few days left to fish many of our local waters. On Tuesday, Nov. 15 the California fishing season will come to an end for the majority of the rivers and streams, as well as the lakes in Inyo and Mono counties.

Hello there, Carson City. Wednesday has arrived and brings several options to help get you over the workweek hump. Geeks Who Drink Trivia at Westside Pour House, an open mic and jam at Firkin and Fox, and Jazz with Judith and Rocky at Living the Good Life all prove to be a good time. The Mayoral and Board of Supervisor candidates take the stage at the Brewery Art Center Performance Hall for another voter’s forum; the ballot question on Gas Tax Indexing will be discussed as well.

It's a story that goes back nearly a century, when the silver screen drew as many starry-eyed dreamers to the film capital of the world as it did audiences to movie houses.

Hello fellow anglers, I can tell you where there will be plenty of fish this weekend. On Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 1-2, is the Kokanee Salmon festival at Taylor Creek located on Highway 89, a half mile north of Camp Richardson on the south end of Lake Tahoe.

Hello fellow anglers, fall is only a few days away. Snow was falling at Kirkwood this week. The time of year to bring extra gear such as warm clothing. The temperatures in our surrounding areas can change rapidly.

Hello fellow anglers, many have been asking, where is the Naw report? I have been fishing in Oregon for the last couple weeks and did quit well. We caught green and blue ling cod and a few black sea bass out of Brooking's.

Living in the dusty, dry high desert means that we escape cancerous car rot. Additionally, it’s probably the reason that Northern Nevada is a mecca for classic cars and the shows that celebrate them. The Silver Dollar Classic Car Show has long been Carson’s kick off to the hot, melty August nights that follow – the Max Casino is where it all begins. Head to Red’s Old 395 for an appreciation party to those who fight our wild fires and say a hello to Smokey the Bear. Trey Stone makes an appearance at Living the Good Life and Whiskey Tavern welcomes you to their karaoke stage.

Hello fellow anglers, it is hot hot hot. Even the fish are saying it is too hot to bite. This report will be brief due to a fishing experience I had last week. Renee and I decided to go up Highway 4 to camp along the river and fish.

Hello Everyone! I know things are tight for a lot of people so if you can help it will mean the world to our family. My nephew (2 years of age) was diagnosed with B-cell A11 Leukemia about a month ago.

Chayse Blackmon is his name and his mother is April LeBlanc. She is a single parent. They live in Washoe Valley currently and I live in Carson City.

Hello fellow anglers, I want to tell you of a place that has over looked by many for years. Many of us pass by as we journey through Hope Valley in Alpine County. Some may view it as a rest stop at Pickett's Junction. In 2001 the All Access Wildlife path was built in partner by the California Fish and Wildlife, Alpine County and the Friends of Hope Valley. It is located at the junction of Highways 88 and 89 in Hope Valley, Calif.

A 44-year-old Carson City man was booked into jail Monday on a felony warrant, failure to appear, a Carson City sheriff's deputy said.

Hello fellow anglers and welcome to Independence Day weekend 2016. The weather is hot and the fishing is picking up. The roads will be busy and patience will be thin. Take your time and watch for anglers jumping from hole to hole, especially around the rivers. With our dry and hot temperatures, a few things to remember:

Hello fellow anglers. We have had two successful kids fishing derbys in our area. The Lampe Park Kids Derby had 1,300 children attend this year and last Saturday was the Alpine County Kids Fishing derby at Indian Creek.

My hat is off to all the volunteers that came together to make this such a successful and fun event. Now it is time for the kids to take dad fishing. Father's Day is this Sunday and what better way to give back than to take your dad fishing. These events are the reason that most kids get hooked on fishing.

Hello fellow anglers. Hard to believe we are at Memorial weekend already. The weather this week has been a challenge but it is supposed to change for the better as we head into the long holiday weekend. Although the forecast may be warm and sunny with a chance of thunderstorms, remember the waters flowing in our rivers are just above freezing temperatures and can be dangerous.

Hello fellow anglers, I wanted to give you a small report on the higher lakes in the Alpine County area. Although down in the valley the temperatures have been in the low 40's to mid 70 degrees. The higher lakes are still in winter, spring mode. Temperatures are in the low 30's and not rising until after mid day and may only hold a mid 60 degree temperature for an hour or so. Be prepared when you travel to the higher elevations.

Hello fellow anglers, well the big kids have had there opening fishing day. Now it is time to the little kids to shine. On June 3-4, the 27th annual Lampe Park Free Kids Fishing derby will kick off the season for 2016. This event is open to all kids ages 3 through 12.

Hello fellow anglers. Its time to get ready to do some fishing. The general trout opener in many California counties will commence this Saturday, April 30. Most lakes, rivers and streams have a limit of 5 trout per day and 10 in possession.

Hello fellow anglers, my fishing partner Tom Blotter and I had a challenging time at the Hook Line and sinker Derby last weekend at Topaz Lake. On the lake by 6 am Saturday, and the fishing was on. We had 20 fish day for each of us.

Hello, Carson City. Don’t let the fact that it’s Monday get you down, there are still fun ways to kick off the work week. The Firkin and Fox hosts karaoke tonight; just remember to use the east or south entrances while construction continues on their new patio. Go searching for ghosts at the Gold Hill Hotel. Get your boogie on with the High Sierra Swing Dance Club at El Charro Avita. Their Spring Ball, Dinner, and Dance is this coming Saturday, and you can go here for ticket information.

MONDAY:

Hello fellow anglers, we're less than a month from opening trout season in Alpine County and throughout California. Many of you are beginning to plan ahead for the weekend of April 30. I just wanted to give you some info on the campground situation.

As we said hello to spring we also said good morning to a snow storm that wreaked havoc along Northern Nevada roadways. The snow began to fall and stick around 5 a.m. and did not let up until around noon.

The Nevada Highway Patrol began working crashes early Monday morning in the Reno-Sparks area. From around 4 a.m. until 12 p.m. NHP handled 25 crashes that did not require any medical response, eight crashes that did need medical attention and 45-plus motorists assist.

Hello, my name is CJ Gueldner. Several months ago I was driving down that Loneliest Highway that we all love from Mound House to Silver Springs when I caught sight of some adorable community garden style lawn art.

Hello fellow anglers, the rain is falling in the valleys and snow in the mountains. The month of March so far is being good to us. We need all the water Mother Nature will give us. Hopefully a lot of that water will flow into Topaz Lake.

Got kids? The Boys and Girls Club is where you want to be today for the Second Annual Early Childhood Expo. Curious George and Clifford the big red dog can’t wait to say hello. Take a trip out to the Dayton State Park to search for animal tracks and more with a park ranger. If you’re kid free today, then the Downtown Business Association Wine Walk is for you. The young and the young-at-heart will find something fun to do this weekend: just check out the whole list for your options and hit the town.

Hello fellow anglers, the weather has been beautiful, but a little scary. We need some more precipitation in the form of snow up on them thar hills. Right now our snow pack is at average for this time of year. Hopefully the month of March will add to our snow pack.
