Pole

CARSON CITY — Here is this week's fishing report for Northern and Western Nevada, Northern California and southern Oregon. This report is for the week of April 13-20:

ALMANOR LAKE, CALIF:
Brian Roccucci of Big Daddy’s Guide Service (539) 283-4103) www.bigdaddyfishing.com reports:
It is Game On at Lake Almanor. How fast things can change with a break in the storms and a little sun. A week ago the fish were in a solid winter pattern and now the weather has them acting like spring.

The sky was gradually beginning to get light in the east when I very quietly began to row my small, inflatable raft away from the Cave Rock boat launch on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe.

Just moments before, Elaine and I had neatly stowed our lunch, drinks, fishing poles, reels, tackle box, net, battery-operated fish finder and video camera into the bottom of the raft.

The World Dance Open Floor event at Comma Coffee on Friday, May 20, 2011, from 5 to 8 p.m., will be focused on our "Strings in the Schools" program.
The event, coordinated, by Starr Nixdorf is entitled "Fairies Dance." Strings in the Schools will be playing celtic tunes. The May Pole will be in the courtyard for various dancing designs.

Checking in with Sierra-at-Tahoe, bottomless is the word of the day. The resort reports a mountain of new snow, as La Niña has lived up to her name graciously delivering the biggest storm of 2011.

The resort reports up to 8 feet of snow and counting, so make sure you wear you pole straps or you might not find them till the spring.

You'll feel confident when you huck those tricks you weren't brave enough to throw on hard pack. Today is the day with the resort filled with pillow soft landings.

Well over a thousand people were in downtown Carson City tonight to ring in the Christmas season with the Silver and Snowflake Festival and Christmas tree lighting at the Nevada State Capitol grounds.

If you're having problems logging into Facebook this afternoon, you're not alone. A widespread outage has been reported, stretching well beyond Carson City and Lake Tahoe.

Ironically, Twitter users are tracking the developments.

 

Ely, Nev. – The Nevada Northern Railway is not your usual traditional museum with stationary buildings, equipment and trains that may not even tie to the history of the area.

In previewing the Northern 4A Regional Track and Field Championships, there might not be a more loaded event when it comes to sheer depth than the boys pole vault.

Seven athletes have cleared 13-9 or better -- including the Carson High tandem of Eric Garcia and Cameron Childers -- and on Saturday a jump of 12-6 was needed to advance past the regional prelims at Damonte Ranch High School in Reno. Garcia and Childers both made their attempts at 12-6 to qualify for the field of nine vaulters in the finals.

After yesterday's article about the freeway, and how Colorado Street was closing permanently on Monday, I got to thinking more about this final phase of the freeway. The Nevada Appeal today says that construction indeed is starting on Monday, and will continue in bits and pieces for the next two years. The first thing to go will be Clearview Drive, which will be closed for an extended time while a new bridge is built.

Carson High's Eric Garcia and Hannah Dudley did more than set personal records at the Thunder Invitational in Rocklin, Calif., on Saturday. They provided some thunder of their own with gold medal performances as Garcia won the boys pole vault and Dudley took the girls discus.

There's always something special about winning the 4x400-meter relay at the end of a track and field meet. A year ago, the Carson High girls celebrated when they won the 4x400 at the Fallon Elks Invitational, and on Saturday, the Carson boys took their turn when the quartet of Taylor Bradshaw, David McMasters, Brandon Buonacorsi and Nick Schlager won to cap off their day at the 37th annual Fallon invite at Churchill County High's Edward Arciniega Athletic Complex.

A woman with two kids in the car rounded a curve and took out a high voltage power line pole, shutting down traffic in both directions on Stewart south of Roop.

A hit and run driver headed south on Stewart and Roop left a power pole sheared off at its base, leaving the pole broken but still standing, held up by the high voltage wires running through it.

RENO — Mike Arnold just keeps raising the bar higher and higher.
