UPDATE: Carson City School District’s Aberasturi Center, a support services, early childhood program adjacent to Bordewich Bray, has flooded and school is closed today.

School staff discovered the massive water leak at around 7 a.m. this morning, said Carson City School District Superintendent Richard Stokes. More than two inches of water flooded the entire building.

It is undetermined when classes will resume. Carson City Early Childhood Center at 710 West Fourth Street, is a preschool that serves children ages 3-5. Carson City Early Childhood Center is Independent and has a capacity of 90 children. The center offers instructional programs in reading and math.

The district's operation department has hired an emergency team that goes in to help with flooding and cleanup, which is underway now.

"Part of the goal for us is to get the place dried up so we can chase down where the leak is," said Stokes. He said it is suspected to be part of an old boiler system but that still hasn't been determined.

As far as classes, Stokes said the district is weighing its options and working on alternative plans.

"I would encourage parents to be alert to the fact that we will be notifying them about what the next steps are in getting their children to school and ask that they be patient," said Stokes.

Classrooms, staff rooms, offices are flooded, with water damage seeping into carpets, papers, and equipment close to the ground. A damage estimate is unknown at this time.

The second suspect in a Sept. 19 armed robbery of Harbor Freight in Carson City has been arrested, according to the Carson City Sheriff's Office.
Kristafer Robinson, 37, was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon after detectives met with him at the Carson City Sheriff's Office, said Lt. Brian Humphrey. On Saturday, detectives arrested Chase Henderson, 25, of Carson City on armed robbery charges, plus charges of being an ex-felon with a gun and three drug charges. Go here for the story on Henderson's arrest.

Robinson was identified as the second suspect involved in the armed robbery of Harbor Freight located at 2749 North Carson Street. During the robbery two suspects entered the business with guns and demanded money from the employees who were closing up at the time.

There may be other charges forthcoming, said Lt. Humphrey. His bail is currently $40,000.

The investigation is still on going and anyone with information about the robbery is encouraged to contact the Detective Division at 775-887-2020.

CARSON RIVERS, CALIF:
Dave Kirby of the Woodfords Station (866) 694-2930 www.woodfordsstation.com reports:
West Carson River: The river opens to fishing on Saturday, April 30.
Today (Tuesday), the water level is really up due to the runoff from the snow melting. We are going to get more and more runoff as more snow melts, and then the river will really be roaring.

DAVIS LAKE, CALIF:
Jim and Jeanne of the J & J Grizzly Store (530) 832-0270 www.grizzlystore.portola-ca.com reports:
As of April 6: Fishing has been slow, but nice fish are being caught. 
Mepps spinners at Honker Cove, and Chartreuse Power Bait at Coot's Bay.  A nice 3 pounder was caught at Coot's Bay on April 3. 
Lake level is 73 percent and rising.
There is ice still in the dam area, but it is NOT safe to go on.
You will have to walk through snow to get to the lake. Access by vehicle only on the East side, the road is clear up to Mallard Cove access road.

EAGLE VALLEY RESERVOIR, LINCOLN COUNTY, NEV:
The Nevada Department of Wildlife www.ndow.org reports:
Spring runoff is causing murky water conditions. Though fishing has slowed down, anglers are still catching tiger and rainbow trout.
Tigers seem to prefer flashy hardware while the rainbows are hitting night crawlers, a variety of Power Bait flavors and lures. Typically, Super Dupers, Panther Martins, Rooster Tails and Little Jakes are all good choices.

ECHO CANYON RESERVOIR, LINCOLN COUNTY, NEV:
The Nevada Department of Wildlife www.ndow.org reports:
The water is murky due to spring runoff but anglers are still catching rainbow trout along the dam. Some fish are in the 1- to 1.5-pound range. Crappie have shut off and the bass have yet to become active.

FRENCHMAN RESERVOIR, CALIF:
Wiggin’s Trading Post at Chilcoot (530) 993-4683 reports:
Fishermen are doing well at Frenchman's. Around the dam seems to be the best place to put your pole in the water.  Using nightcrawlers and catching limits of rainbow trout weighing 1 to 2 pounds and are 16 to 22 inches in length.
You can get up to the dam with no problem, but getting around the lake you need a big four-wheeled drive or snow shoes or a snowmobile. 
The boat ramps are NOT accessible at this time. 
If you do try to go around the lake BE CAREFUL! There is still plenty of snow on the ground past the dam.

HOT CREEK, CALIF:
Steve Osterman of Performance Guide Service (760) 934-6101 www.performanceanglers.com reports:
Water flow is 12 CFS. Fishing here is good. The Mayfly hatch has been a bit off and on. Nymph fish with FB Pheasant Tails, gray WD-40's and Caddis larva. BWO patterns on the surface.

HOT CREEK, CALIF:
Tom Loe of Sierra Drifters Fly Fishing Guide Service (760) 935-4250 www.sierradrifters.com reports:
So far, so good. Water clarity and flows remain great. You will see the trend change shortly and don’t be surprised to have some high water/off color days in the near future here when the air temps begin to warm.
Although HC is a small ground fed spring creek, it has the confluence of Mammoth Creek near its headwaters and is greatly influenced by Mammoth Creek’s conditions. MC is a freestone creek and it will begin to swell as the huge snowpack starts to melt and run-off.
Nymphing with PT’s # 18-20, broken back and standard Crystal Midges # 16-22, SJ Worms # 12-16 (red or brown), egg patterns # 14-18, BWO adults # 18 for surface action in the afternoon, Stonefly Nymphs and adults # 12-16, Baetis emergers # 18-20 (great to fish in the weed channels) are good selections currently. Try chucking some streamers # 8-12 if the water gets high and off color.
“The Forest Circus" gate remains closed as of this report but expect it to open soon. The snow is gone save for a few accumulations on the northern exposures; access into the canyon is good.

HOT CREEK, CALIF:
Kent of The Trout Fly and Troutfitter (760) 934-2517 www.thetroutfitter.com reports:
Water Conditions: Good. Flows are at 29 CFS as of 4/7.
Paved road to entrance of Hot Creek ranch is plowed and dry. 
Access to the canyon section and Interpretive Center sections are a walk over patchy snow. Gate should be open soon.
Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Excellent. Some big early spawners have shown up in the Interpretive Center section.
The formula for the canyon section is pretty much the same ol', same ol' - small midges early and BWO's later in the morning.
It gets going by 9 am, sometimes earlier.
Throw streamers if you want to try it during bad weather.

INDIAN CREEK RESERVOIR, CALIF:
Dave Kirby of the Woodfords Station (866) 694-2930 www.woodfordsstation.com reports:
Fishing at the reservoir was slow last weekend compared to the previous weekend, probably due to the wind blowing. Both of the roads to the reservoir are now open and the snow is pretty much gone back there.

LAKE MEAD, CLARK COUNTY, NEV:
The Nevada Department of Wildlife www.ndow.org reports:
Anglers looking for a good fight may want to try their luck with carp. These hard-fighting fish are moving into shallow areas to spawn. Sweet corn fished on a number four hook is generally a good bait option.
Reports of anglers catching large stripers have trailed off in recent weeks, but they are still managing to catch a few reaching three or four pounds.
Largemouth and smallmouth bass have moved into shallow areas and are hitting plastics and crankbaits. This is a good time for shore anglers to try their hand at bassin'.

LAKE MOHAVE, CLARK COUNTY, NEV:
The Nevada Department of Wildlife www.ndow.org reports: Fishing remains fair overall but is good for black bass.
Stripers have been a rare catch of late but anglers are fooling some fish by drifting cut baits such as anchovies.
Catfish action has been good round the clock for anglers fishing on the bottom with a variety of commercial catfish baits or cut anchovies.
Largemouth and smallmouth bass are moving shallow. Anglers are finding success with plastics, jigs and crankbaits. The big fish caught during last weekend's Ultimate Bass tournament tipped the scale at 7.3 pounds and the winning five-fish bag weighed more than 21 pounds.
Anglers hunting for large stripers are still catching double-digit fish in the area south of Willow Beach. The fish seem to like slow sinking swimbaits in trout patterns.
Trout anglers are finding good fishing for rainbow trout following weekly trout plants by the Willow Beach National Fish Hatchery.
Power Bait, worms and hardware such as Panther Martins or Little Jakes are generally effective baits.

OREGON PACIFIC OCEAN AND BEACHES, ORE:
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (800) 720-ODWF www.dfw.state.or.us.com reports:
Fishing for rockfish and lingcod has been good when the ocean has been “calm.” Concentrate your fishing near rocky outcroppings and drop-offs. Fishing for rockfish and lingcod outside of 40 fathoms is closed from April 1 – Sept. 30.
A few lingcod and rockfish are being caught along the jetties inside the bays. Effective baits to use for lingcod are bouncing a jig with a big plastic tail or bouncing a herring near the bottom.
There have been a few reports of surfperch being caught. To fish for surfperch look for places that have riptides or areas that has steeper beaches. Best fishing is usually on an incoming tide with ocean swells less than 6 feet. Sand shrimp or sand worms are great baits to use for surfperch. 

OWENS RIVER, CALIF:
Steve Osterman of Performance Guide Service (760) 934-6101 www.performanceanglers.com reports:
Upper Owens River: Water flow 66 CFS. Closed from Benton Crossing downstream to Crowley Lake. Open to fishing up stream from the Benton Crossing Bridge.
Barbless artificials only. Zero limit.
Fishing is slow .A few Mayflies and Midges hatching sporadically.
Parachute Adams on the surface and WD-40's and small flashback Pheasant Tails under the surface.
Lower Owens River: Water flow 445 CFS.  Fishing is poor due to high water flow.


OWENS RIVER, CALIF:
Kent of The Trout Fly and Troutfitter (760) 934-2517 www.thetroutfitter.com reports:
Upper Owens River Water Conditions: As of 4/7 flows are still down at 70 CFS above the Hot Creek confluence.
'Cold water so get those nymphs and streamers down to where the fish are.
Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good to Excellent. There are still some big Crowley fish in the system.
Ice out just happened so get those big Crowley fish before they head for home soon.
Dry action is excellent with good hatches midday on days with no weather.
Nymphing, streamers, Midges early and Baetis midday.
Owens River Gorge Water conditions: Great. Flow: 45 CFS. This is a permanent flow required to be maintained by LADWP. Water is clear and cold.
Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Excellent. Pat has been plying these waters last few days and says stinging nettles are not going yet and fishing has been great.
Good place to hide in bad weather.
Lower Owens River Water Conditions: Flows are still raging at 455 cfs as of 4/7. Wading not recommended.
Watch out for crumbling bank. Water is still cold but warming fast.
Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Fair to poor. Try to find areas of slower moving water, and stay subsurface until the flows subside.
Also try more towards Big Pine as river is wider with no banks.

OWENS RIVER, CALIF:

Tom Loe of Sierra Drifters Fly Fishing Guide Service (760) 935-4250 www.sierradrifters.com reports:
Lower Owens River: It has sucked here recently. The increase has really dampened fishing with these high release rates in all sections. Fish reports are based on what is-and what was, for the most part.
There is going to be a change for the positive before long. You will see a DRAMATIC DECREASE in the flows when the Southern Sierra begins to run-off. The aqueduct will not accommodate all the run-off and the high release rates at one time so flows will be cut down for an extended period to allow for the lower areas to drain.
Crowley is currently lowering at a very fast clip and I expect fishing to get good on the Lower Owens within the month, so don’t count this area out.
Wading in the wild trout section will be difficult and in some instances dangerous for crossing so exercise caution.
Heavily weighted Nymph rigs using lots of flash in your # 14-18 patterns will still get grabs in the accessible areas here.
The drift boating has also been slow but it will pick up as the fish acclimate and adjust to the higher levels. Clarity and silt are improving as well.
The streamer fishing can be sensational this time of year and I fully expect to have some great days in the near future. We used to say "make the news, don’t hear about it" when I was commercial fishing. Here is your tip for this area. I have posted an on-the-spot video on YouTube that is recently updated.
Upper Owens River: The War Wagon snowmobile has been stored for the season and access into the UO above Benton Crossing has improved. You may take your vehicles in on the north side main dirt road, but I DO NOT suggest you proceed further along the two track feeder roads right now. They are a mess and the tow trucks are making a fortune pulling out those who try to drive in on the mud to the walk through areas.
Fishing is very slow here and not worth the effort right now. There are a few scattered big fish here and there but it is a long while and a lot of casts between fish as of this report.
The "snow bows" have gone back to Crowley.
We had an incredible winter this year and strongly suggest you try this trip out next season for a shot at these awesome winter run rainbows.

PAHRANAGAT WILDLIFE REFUGE, LINCOLN COUNTY, NEV:
The Nevada Department of Wildlife www.ndow.org reports:
Anglers are finding some success at the upper marsh for panfish and catfish.
Mealworms or night crawlers below a bobber will catch fish.

PLEASANT VALLEY RESERVOIR, CALIF:
Tom Loe of Sierra Drifters Fly Fishing Guide Service (760) 935-4250 www.sierradrifters.com reports:
Tubing PV is a good bet trolling streamers near the launch ramp, and right near the transition from the river into the lake.
There are very high flows in the river when the turbine is on so position yourself where the water slows down and there is less debris.
The Gorge is fishing great and flows here are stable. If you don’t mind the hiking and rock hopping this is a good area to get into fish on the surface. Mayfly and Caddis fly imitations # 14-18 are good choices. Dry/dropper bead head nymph rigs work well also for the deeper runs and pools.

PYRAMID LAKE, WASHOE COUNTY, NEV:
George and Carla Molino of the Pyramid Lake Store (775) 476-0555 www.fishpyramid.com reports:
The fishing has been pretty good if you can get out on the lake.
I’ve got a charter this afternoon (Monday) but they are calling for winds from 25 to 40 mph.
There has been a lot of fishermen at “The Nets,” since they re-opened.
The water is still not that warm: It’s in the low 40’s.
The guys from shore have been doing good with lots of catch and release.

PYRAMID LAKE, WASHOE COUNTY, NEV:
The Truckee River Outfitters (775) 853-7368 info@renoflyshop.com:
As of April 6, the water temps have come up about 6-7 degrees in the past week. The fishing over that time has been really good.
Rob Anderson and Chris Evison, guides for Truckee River Outfitters hosted a club outing over the weekend and had 13 anglers from Idaho catch and release over 300 fish including a 12 pound and a 14.5 pound Cutthroat. The 12 was caught on a Maholo Midge and the 14 was caught on a Loco Beetle. There have been reports of 20 fish days on at least 10 different beaches in the past week. What that means is there are fish spread out all over the lake. Fish are being caught using all the normal techniques including Nymphing and retrieving flies with a shooting head on the bottom.
Pyramid is a strange lake to figure out. We find new spots and give up on old spots every year due to change in water levels.
This year is no different. The great thing is if you move around and try new areas you can fish alone on beaches that are on fire and have few anglers. What a great place to fish. The techniques remain the same (if you know what they are) but the beaches change.
The next month or more should be awesome. Nymphing with a floating line and retrieving flies with a shooting head will all be working.
The fishing should be good through May this year.
Hope to see you catching a fish of a lifetime at the lake!
We have plenty of guide availability if you give us some notice. We also still have all the Reno Fly Shop fly patterns for sale.

SACRAMENTO RIVER, CALIF:
J.D. Richey of www.fishingwithjd.com (916) 388-1956 reports: Report updated April 4, SLOWLY DROPPING…STRIPERS SOON!
The river is still huge and muddy for much of its length, but reservoir releases are starting back off now. The river is running clear through Redding, but is picking up lots of color not too far downstream.
This past week, striper fishermen tried to poke around near Colusa, but Ward’s and the State Park were still underwater, so there weren’t a whole lot of launching options.
With all this high water, expect a good and long striper season…but we’re probably going to have to wait a bit for conditions to improve.

SAN JOAQUIN AND RED’S MEADOWS, CALIF:
Steve Osterman of Performance Guide Service (760) 934-6101 www.performanceanglers.com reports:
Road closed.

SMITH RIVER, ORE:
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (800) 720-ODWF www.dfw.state.or.us.com reports:
The Smith will close March 31 for adipose fin-clipped Steelhead and Chinook from mouth to Spencer Creek and North Fork from mouth upstream to Johnson Creek. This area is open to striped bass year-round, two fish per 24 hours, 24-inch minimum size.
Fishing for stripers in the upper tidewater area should be good for the next several weeks.
Fishing on the mainstem Smith from Spencer Creek upstream to Sisters Creek and the North Fork from Johnson Creek to Bridge 10 open for adipose fin-clipped steelhead thru April 30.

LAKE TAHOE:
Gene St. Denis of Blue Ribbons Charters (530) 544-6552 www.blueribbonfishing.com reports:
North Shore: We’ve been getting our limits of average-sized (2-6 pounds) Mackinaw (Lake) Trout with larger Macks running up to 10-12 pounds.
We have been trolling at The Tavern Hole, Cal Neva Point, Dollar Point and Sugar Pine Point, 110-220 feet deep, with either Dodgers and minnows or Dodgers and large Trophy Stick lures.
East Shore: Shore fishing at Cave Rock Landing has been slow for small rainbows and an occasional brown or Mack.

TOPAZ LAKE:
Chuck and Linda Fields of the Topaz Lake Marina (775) 266-3550 reports:
It’s a beautiful day (Tuesday morning) and there are a couple of fishermen out there on the lake already.
Fishing has been pretty good.
We had three fishermen from San Diego out there every day over the weekend. They caught fish every day by trolling with Rapala lures.
A couple from Reno caught fish using orange-colored Needlefish lures.
A couple from Auburn even caught fish over the weekend and they had never fished here before.

TRUCKEE RIVER:
The Truckee River Outfitters (775) 853-7368 info@renoflyshop.com:
The stretch of the river between the town of Truckee and Boca Bridge is fishable and has been really good. Reports of a Caddis hatch as well as some Winter Stones. The water is a little high and off colored and could change at any time so be careful, especially if you do not know the river.
Nymphing with a dark Stonefly Nymph in about a size 12-14 and a Caddis dropper in a size 16 is a good bet right now.
Fish the seams and the edges out of the main current.
Everything downstream of the Boca Bridge is blown out right now. The flows are over 1000 CFS and are extremely dangerous. If you must fish the Truckee River right now do not wade in it at these flows. We have had a huge winter and the Truckee could remain in this situation for a while.
Here are the current flows as of April 6th.
(Safe fishable flows in parenthesis).
Town of Truckee 305 CFS (100-350) Boca Bridge 1240 CFS (anything below 650) Farad 1310 CFS (400-600) Mogul 1390 CFS (300-500) Reno 1400 CFS (350-500).

LITTLE TRUCKEE RIVER:
The Truckee River Outfitters (775) 853-7368 info@renoflyshop.com:
Flows are 136 CFS. The road is still covered with snow and not accessible by car. The road does not get plowed in the winter and will open up when the snow melts. There are still snow drifts over the guard railing on the road in some places so it could be a few weeks before it clears up. If you have a way to get in the fishing has been pretty good.
Baetis and Midges have been hatching mid day and the few anglers who have fished are doing pretty good.

WALKER LAKE, MINERAL COUNTY, NEV:
The Nevada Department of Wildlife www.ndow.org reports:
No fish have been reported or seen at Walker Lake so far this fishing season. Mineral County Road Dept. has done some work on the State Parks Launch. Launching is improved but you still need four wheel drive.

WALKER RIVERS, NEV:
The Truckee River Outfitters (775) 853-7368 info@renoflyshop.com:
East Walker River: Flows have been all over the map. Currently they are 200 CFS. There has been a flood warning issued for the valleys in and around the Walker and Carson drainages as the warm weather approaches. Bridgeport reservoir is full and I would imagine upper and lower Twin lakes are as well.
At some point in the near future they will be forced to run those river systems pretty high. There is just nowhere to put all the water.
The East Walker is fishable right now but it could change anytime.
Be careful wading there are not too many spots that you can cross with the current flows.
Nymphing with a Stonefly and a smaller dropper like a Baetis or a Midge along the edges and out of the main current is a pretty good way to fish the East Walker when the flows are high. Streamers can also be effective.

WALKER RIVERS, CALIF:
Jim Reid of Ken’s Sporting Goods Store in Bridgeport (760) 932-7707 www.kenssport.com reports:
East Walker – West Walker – Sceirine Ranch - Hunewill Pond:
East Walker River: The flow on the river today is 235 CFS.
The fishing overall has been good, though there has seemed to be a couple tough patches here and there this past week.
We're starting to see some action on streamers this past few days, bellyache minnows, Zuddlers, mini leeches and dead-drift crayfish patterns have been good. For Nymphs, we’ve been hearing about small Princes, silver streaks, GT Emergers, Pheasant Tails, Flashback Emergers and San Juan Worms.
There been a couple good reports from the Nevada side with dries, but we haven't heard much about dries on the Cali side. Most anglers seem to be getting into 10 to 20 fish per day with usually a few in the 20 inch range.
West Walker River: Opens on Saturday, April 30.
Sceirine Ranch: The ranch has been fishing good also, it hasn't been too crowded yet but bookings are starting to increase.
Streamers and Nymphs have been the best, with some dry action and dry/dropper action as well.
Access is limited on the ranch so often these fish tend to be a bit more grabby than more heavily fished waters.
Hunewill Pond: The Pond is thawed out now but I haven't had a chance to get out there to fish it, as soon as I do I'll let you know how it's going!

WALKER RIVERS, CALIF:
Tom Loe of Sierra Drifters Fly Fishing Guide Service (760) 935-4250 www.sierradrifters.com reports:
East Walker River: I have to give credit to the water lords here this season. They have managed the EW very well and performed a "flushing flow" of 900cfs early on in March so that we could enjoy some great fishing this spring.
The EW is in the best shape I have seen in recent years and is fishing very well in ALL sections.
Flows will vacillate from time to time as demands increase in Nevada, however they are currently holding between 200 & 300 CFS give or take. In my opinion these are ideal for this river during the spring season.
Tandem Nymph rigs loaded with Pheasant Tail imitations # 14-18, Stonefly Nymphs # 10-12, Midges # 16-20, broken back Midges # 16-18, San Juan Worms # 12-16 are all effective currently.
Streamer fishing is also good and you will have a better shot at hooking one of those legendary monsters that hold in the dark water. # 6-10 use them with a light to moderate sinking tip.
There are BWO hatches # 18 in the afternoon.
The fish are spread out much better this spring than in years past and not stacked up in the "mile" which makes a better fishing experience for all.

WALKER RIVERS, CALIF:
Kent of The Trout Fly and Troutfitter (760) 934-2517 www.thetroutfitter.com reports:
East Walker River Water Conditions:  Flows are bouncing around but now steady at 202 CFS for the last three days as of 4/7. Perfect.
Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Good to Excellent. The fishing is excellent now that the flows are back down to perfect levels for a while. Good hatches mid-morning on with recent warm weather but snow tonight so check weather forecast.

WALKER RIVERS, CALIF:
Steve Osterman of Performance Guide Service (760) 934-6101 www.performanceanglers.com reports:
East Walker River: Water flow 237 CFS.  Fishing here has been good. Suggested flies are golden Stonefly Nymphs, Copper Johns, Prince Nymphs and gray or black Midge pupa.

Director Clint Eastwood's film about J. Edgar Hoover, currently showing at the Fandango Galaxy cineplex in Carson City, shows the real creator of the Federal Bureau of Investigation with all of the faults and strengths clearly shown.The movie, "J. Edgar," follows the man from his early days with the U.S. attorney general's office to his days as ruler of a giant bureaucracy of lawyers and police.

Leonardo DiCaprio stars in impressive style, able to reflect the strengths with a quick smirk that made Hoover so powerful and at the same time depending on his mother Anna Marie (Judi Dench) and all of the other quirks that went into his persona. DiCaprio is the figure on which all rests and he carries off a powerful portrait of a man going from youthful enthusiasm to adult strengths and weaknesses.

He is ably assisted by Naomi Watts as his worshipful and loyal secretary Helen Gandy and Armie Hammer as Clyde Tolson, Hoover's No. 2 and a stalwart friend and associate and in the later stages of the movie as a possible homosexual companion. Tolson and Hoover become close, dining together, going to the horse races together. Hints of a close relation are dropped. And highlighted.

As Hoover takes over the corrupt and incompetent FBI, he moves to clean out the dead wood and establish the first real scientific crime lab in America. He does so at a moment in history when bombs were being planted at major American officials' homes and offices. Hoover develops a mania about the threats to America from communists and anarchists. And a demand that all FBI agents are above reproach.

Along the way Hoover begins compiling a "secret" file about potential enemies such as presidents and congressmen. He finally runs up against Bobby Kennedy, his boss as attorney general, and he loses.

When his mother dies, Hoover weeps and dons her necklace and her dress in mourning. He dies after having Grandy promise to destroy his "secret" files on his death, and she does so just as Richard Nixon's operatives come barging in seeking those files.

DiCaprio turns in what his finest performance yet, aging and thickening into the final Hoover image. Watts is dependable and understated in her role, and Hammer convincing as a Hoover loyalist to the end.

One can be ambivalent about the depiction of Hoover as a closet gay; hard evidence is not there, but the script by Dustin Lance Black is definite in its conclusions.

This is a movie of some quality, happily not a car crash or chase, just the development of a biography. Eastwood continues to enhance his reputation as a dependable, intelligent director. Rate it as a good movie, no more numbers on ratings. Just good or bad.

A man who had reportedly flashed a gun and a knife at patrons inside a Carson City bar led authorities on a chase early this morning into Lyon County. It ended with the suspect being tasered and detained at about 1:45 a.m.

The pursuit began at about 1:10 a.m. in the 3500 block of Highway 50 East and continued to State Route 341 in Lyon County. That's when Lyon authorities picked up the pursuit of the suspect's vehicle, reportedly a white Ford van. The suspect finally came to a stop but then initially refused to get out of the vehicle. Traffic on the highway was stopped in both directions as officers began to negotiate with the man, who was reportedly suicidal.

For several minutes the suspect had declined to cooperate with authorities and would not put his hands in view of officers. The situation came to an end when the man was hit with a taser, detained and placed into custody.

While the initial pursuit began in Carson City, Lyon County authorities picked it up just past Mound House after the suspect crossed the county line. As Lyon County was notified, Carson City authorities de-activated its part of the pursuit, while Lyon County patrol officers continued with it as it went into Six Mile Canyon and past Iron Mountain, according to police scanner traffic.

At least one Carson City patrol officer did follow about one-half mile distance length behind Lyon County sheriff's officers and was at the scene during the brief standoff with Lyon authorities.

The pursuit, considered mostly low-speed through the Carson City limits, picked up through Lyon County ranging between 70 to 80 mph, according to scanner traffic. The suspect was apparently unable to maintain lanes during the Carson City part of the pursuit, failing to yield to traffic and going through stop signs and lights.

It was the second vehicle chase involving Carson City authorities in an eight-hour stretch. Officers on Wednesday arrested a Carson City woman after a brief pursuit. The woman, Laurie Ann Hancock of Carson City, who had four felony arrest warrants, crashed a car in the area of Northridge and Roop streets at around 5:30 p.m. She was taken to the hospital and then to jail.

A 27-year-old Carson City man was arrested Thursday for suspicion of felony probation violation and a gross misdemeanor warrant alleging conspiracy, after stealing merchandise from Walmart and then running from officers, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.

Isai Ramirez was taken into custody at 7:28 p.m. in the 3200 block of Market Street. He also faces misdemeanor charges of violation of bail conditions, petit larceny, obstructing an officer and a petit larceny warrant.

According to the arrest report, deputies were dispatched to Walmart where Ramirez was running from the store’s loss prevention employee. The officer located the man, announced himself as an officer and told him to stop running, which he continued for about a 100 yards before the deputy caught him.

Loss prevention informed the officer that he saw Isai walk out of the grocery store area with a bag of clothing that he hadn’t paid for. He said the man admitted he took the items but refused to cooperate. He ran out of the store and dropped the merchandise, valued at $72.48.

He was arrested on the charges and turned over to jail staff. He’s being held without bail in lieu of a hearing for the probation violation charge with the remaining bail at $5,264.

In other arrests:
— A 22-year-old Dayton woman was arrested Friday, 5:40 a.m. in the area of Adams and North Carson streets for a misdemeanor failure to appear warrant, driving on a suspended license and speeding. According to the arrest report, the woman was stopped for driving 41 mph in a posted 25 mph zone near the area of Carson and Bath streets. Officers learned of the warrant during the traffic stop. Bail: $2,344.

— A 26-year-old man was arrested Friday, 12:31 a.m., in the area of Fairview and Kansas streets for misdemeanor possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, having fictitious license plates, driving without a valid driver’s license, no insurance and driving an unregistered vehicle. An 18-year-old man with him also faces charges of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

According to the arrest report, a deputy observed a blue Volkswagen driving in the area of Fairview and Industrial. The plates on the vehicle came back as surrendered. The officer stopped the vehicle and learned the man did not have a driver’s license, registration or insurance in the vehicle. The officer smelled the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle and requested a K9 unit to respond.

The officer was going to write a citation but the man would not provide information for the citation, including a phone number and address. He was arrested. While speaking, officers conducted a pat down search of the 18-year-old and located marijuana in the man’s pants pockets.

Meanwhile the K9 alerted to the vehicle, which was searched where marijuana and a pipe were located. Both the driver and passenger were arrested. Bail for the 26-year-old: $2,980. Bail for the 18-year-old: $1,874.

— A 22-year-old Carson City man was arrested Thursday, 10:40 p.m. in the 100 block of East Telegraph Street for misdemeanor suspicion of obstructing an officer, resisting arrest and violation of bail conditions. According to the arrest report, a deputy was called to a bar responding to an unwanted subject at the establishment.

Upon arrival employees pointed out the man who was causing problems and they wished to have him trespassed. The deputy made contact with the man and requested he come outside to speak. The man stepped outside and then ran from deputies who were inquiring his identity. He was apprehended at Musser and Valley streets. The man was found to be on Alternative Sentencing and was booked on the charges. Bail: $3,764.

— A 42-year-old Carson City man was arrested Wednesday, 8:30 p.m. in the 1600 block of Medical Parkway for misdemeanor contempt of court, failure to appear warrant issued Nov 8. out of Carson City Justice Court. Bail: $500.

The film "Unknown," currently playing at the Fandango Galaxy multiplex in Carson City, is the kind of movie one wonders if anyone really read the script before proceeding.

It's such a mishmash of plot that one hardly knows who's what and what's what. If there is any quality to the movie it is thanks to Liam Neeson who plays a doctor coming to Berlin for a conference. He forgets his valise and rushes out to catch the cabbie but instead takes a dunk in a river when the cab goes off the street. He winds up in a coma for four days, rushes off to the hotel (the famed Ablion) where he left his wife. He sees her there but she doesn't recognize him as her husband and in fact introduces him to her real husband.

OK, with me?

Things get complex here. Dr. Harris (Liam) tracks down the driver of the cab he was riding in that plunged in the river (Diane Kruger), who reluctantly agrees to help him. Two car chases ensue, neither making much sense but I guess you gotta have a car chase in an A movie. A German private eye gets involved and dies of self-administered when confronted by a supposed friend of Dr. Harris. Of course, he's a bad guy.

From the plot takes us to a banquet at the hotel, where Dr. Harris' supposed wife is planting a bomb to kill a scientist who has come up with a superior kind of corn seed. Turns out Liam has been an assassin in Berlin for a couple of months and never was Dr. Harris. He somehow forgot about it. But it all works out with Liam and Diane catching a train to freedom under new names.

Well, there's not much sense to it all and the production is shoddy with, for instance, Liam's facial injury switches from one side to the other for no reason other than casual makeup artists. Many other holes, such as Liam fleeing a hospital in dressing gown and emerging from a police car in clothes that he had with home. Don't German police wonder about such things? Not here.

Harris pseudo wife is a baddie; you can tell by the sexy dress she wears before blowing things up. Kurger is an attractive taxi driver and waitress (why both jobs? she's an illegal alien apparently and they need money).
In sum, I've explained things a lot better than the movie will to viewers. This is another movie made just so we could get two car chases for the price of one.

Liam's OK as the stolid know-nothing and the rest of the cast acceptable, even if they apparently don't know what's going on. Direction is shoddy, script something someone should have read carefully before proceeding.
But I fear I carp. Berlin looks good, much different from when I stood watch with other journalists as Check Point Charlie. Or is it Charley? I've forgotten, but I'm sure you recall that gateway to the East in Berlin. I think we had better stories there than "Unknown" offers.

LAKE TAHOE — Visitors and locals alike can head to the shoreline of the Tallac Historic Site for some of the area’s most unique and diverse entertainment. The Valhalla Arts, Music, and Theatre Festival is bringing down the house with its July line-up and it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Rhythm and groove will be the sounds on Saturday, July 10, when the Folsom Lake College Afro-Cuban Funk Band take the Boathouse Theatre stage at 7:30 p.m. The concert will feature the music of West-Africa and Cuba with influences from funk, rhythm and blues, jazz, ska and reggae.  The energetic and innovative musicians have coalesced around the idea that "going global" is not a phenomenon limited to the economic and geo-political realms. Take a journey to various parts of the Globe with ACF and its international fan base in 35 countries. Familiar instruments such as the guitar, bass, drum set, trumpet, trombone, saxophone, piano will combine with the less familiar such as djembe, didgeridoo, guiro, cabasa, shekere, cajon and others.  The heart of ACF's musical performances is improvisation. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children.

On Monday, July 12,Ann Thennes returns for the Summer Trans Dance Series with her expression and meditation through dance. It’s a free event and starts at 6 p.m. at the Grand Hall.  “My classes have morphed from teaching traditional fitness classes to working with movement/meditation and dance energy,” Thennes said.  “It’s one thing to talk about mind/body/spirit connection and another to dance it,” she said. Thennes works with the elements, energies, rhythms and animals that surround the Tahoe basin and has experience in classical ballet, West African dance and free form dance meditation.

Tahoe Improv Players take the Boathouse Theatre stage on Tuesday, July 13 at 7:30 p.m. Skits n' bits are made up and on-the-spot themes suggested by the audience. Described by the North-Tahoe Truckee newspaper as ‘Mensa on Acid’, the Tahoe Improv Players have been entertaining audiences with laughs and good clean fun for years. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children.

For Celtic, classical and folk music with some Renaissance and pop sprinkled on top, head to Dream Spirit Baroque Band on Wednesday, July 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the Boathouse Theatre. The folk chamber music is easy listening music representing different cultures and eras.  “The music of Dream Spirit Baroque Band perfectly complements the serene, natural setting found at the Tahoe Tallac Site,” said Lori Cramer, executive director of the non-profit Tahoe Tallac Association. Haven’t seen a hammer dulcimer in some time? Then you don’t want to miss Dream Spirit Baroque Band. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5emO-K8fLk

Sold Air performs Friday, July 16 at 7:30 p.m. with its Americana/Folk-Rock band music. Solid Air is a music group based north of San Francisco, led by founders Allegra Broughton (vocals, guitar, songwriter), and Sam Page (vocals, bass, baritone slide guitar, co-writer), native Californians who have been performing together for 20 years at fairs, festivals, clubs, concert stages and coffeehouses. They have eight albums to their credit, including the excellent Grammy-nominated album on Jackalope Records (Aug. 2007.)

Don’t be afraid to visit Tahoe Mystery Writer Todd Borg who’ll be hanging out at the Twin Cabins from July 16 – 22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (no charge to talk with Todd!). The Tahoe landscape gave him the idea for a series of award winning novels with a detective protagonist who lived in Tahoe. The result was Owen McKenna, an ex-cop with a tragic background who moved from The City (San Francisco) to the mountains to study art and earn a slightly more genteel living as a private detective. Tahoe Deathfall was the first novel in the series and Kirkus Reviews called it "A thrilling, extended rescue/chase" while Midwest Book Review called it, "A tremendous read from a great writer." The second book, Tahoe Blowup, received equal raves. The subsequent books in the series have received many accolades and awards and have been praised in major newspapers and magazines from coast to coast.

This season, the Valhalla parking lot will be available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. Parking will be limited to two hours to allow visitors to visit the cultural art store, view the Valhalla Grand Hall and the Boathouse Theater or to buy tickets for upcoming events. Limited parking is available for all scheduled events and we encourage car-pooling.

The Tahoe Tallac historic 74-acre setting is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was a favorite getaway in the late 1800’s for Northern California’s elite members of society.  The Valhalla Boathouse Theatre is a structure that dates back to the turn-of-the century distinguishing it as one of Tahoe’s earliest preserved buildings.  It’s located right on the shores of Lake Tahoe at the historic Tallac Site, a 74-acre setting listed on the National Register of Historic Places. For more information and tickets, please call 530-541-4975 or visit www.valhallatahoe.com

For a complete summer festival line up, visit www.tahoevalhalla.com or call (530) 541-4975. The annual Valhalla Arts, Music and Theatre festival is in its 31st season with a summer-long entertainment series including theatrical presentations, an entire series of classical, jazz, Celtic, ethnic, and popular music; the return of the Wa She Shu It Deh Native American Festival. Guests to the site will find visual arts exhibits; an artists-in-residence, children’s art workshops, youth theatre camps and a Cultural Arts Store.

Tahoe Tallac Association was formed in 1979 as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with the goal of assisting the Forest Service in restoring the three estates on the Tallac Historic Site, developing the site as a historic center, and sponsoring/producing the Valhalla Arts & Music Festival held annually on the Heller Estate of the Tallac Historic Site.

A person who recognized a Honda he had recently seen posted to Facebook as being stolen discovered the vehicle Monday night across from a McDonald's drive-thru and called 911 to report it, resulting in the arrest of a person of interest for attempted homicide, a Carson City sheriff's sergeant said.

Deputies located the vehicle, occupied by an adult male, across from a laundromat and the fast food restaurant in the 2100 block of North Carson Street. Officers attempted to box the stolen car in with their vehicles. The suspect instead jumped out of the stolen vehicle and took off running. He was captured on Sage Street after a brief foot chase, said Carson City Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Daniel Gonzales, who chased the man.

The suspect, who was uncooperative with officers and would not give a name, was arrested and is a person of interest for attempted homicide in Washoe County, auto theft and drug charges. Deputies also recovered burglary tools. His name has not been released.

The citizen who reported finding the stolen vehicle called Carson City dispatch at 5:07 p.m. saying that he saw a post on Facebook with the picture of the older model Honda that resembled a vehicle near the McDonald’s drive thru. He provided a description and license plate number, which had been entered as reported stolen, said Sgt. Gonzales. The suspect was taken to jail.

For the weekend arrest report, which also includes an unrelated arrest for a stolen vehicle, go here.

Here is this week's fishing report for rivers, lakes and streams in Nevada, Northern California and the Sierra. This report is for the week of June 19-24.

BISHOP CREEK AREA, CALIF:
Rick and Patti Apted - Lake Sabrina Boat Landing (760-873-7425) (www.lakesabrinaboatlanding.com) reports:
Lake Sabrina:
Don’t forget to pick up your license before hitting the Lake.
Watch out for the Deer – they are on the move!
The Lake continues to rise, but very slowly.
Ma Nature was once again up to her old tricks on Monday when a bit of weather blew thru – some lightening, some thunder-boomers and even a few sprinkles, oh, and can’t forget that darn w-i-n-d.
It got pretty chilly, and after it was up in the low 80s over the weekend, 46 degrees with the wind chill was definitely on the chilly side. And as the weather was on the cool side, that means the run-off slowed considerably.
Lake Sabrina received the first stocking of Department of Fish and Wildlife on Monday – they used the smaller truck so they could get down to the water, so not a huge load of fish, but we did get 50# of tagged trophy-sized fish – now the DFG (or they might say DFW) tag is to just let you know that the Department of Fish and Wildlife are putting in some mighty fine fish.
Fishing is still great at Lake Sabrina – it’s the catching that has slowed a bit for some – we’ve had people catch their limits in a few hours and then there are those that only caught a couple all day.
It’s Nightcrawlers that are working best, Salmon Eggs are running second and Power Bait, well, if you must you must.
Not much action trolling with lures. We’re thinking it may have been the warm weather last week or it could be the Lake filling and as there’s more water, there’s more room for them to hide.
Team Hwang – Chris and Jonathan - of Chatsworth worked as a team should and nabbed a 3-1/2 pound Alper on a Nightcrawler. Quinlan Uyeda of Granda Hills snapped up a 2 pounder also on a Nightcrawler. 
Temps look to be again in the normal range – low 70s for the highs and low 40s for the lows. Sounds like the perfect weather to be on the Lake – not too hot – not too cold. You can check www.weather.gov and enter ASPENDELL, CA on the site and it will give you a fairly good hint at the weather or check in with Howard at www.MammothWeather.com.
As Summer is just around the corner, we thought it appropriate to go to our summer hours.
We are now open Sunday thru Saturday from 7:00am to 7:00pm – we serve Breakfast from 7:00am to 11:00am and Lunch from 11:00am to 4:00pm – Homemade Pie and Vanilla Ice Cream from 7:00am to 6:45pm.
Looks like they’re moving right along on the bridge – they’re even working weekends. The abutment was poured last week and we understand they plan to put in 80 foot beams which is the framework for the forms where they’ll eventually pour the slab for the bridge (I think that’s what Rick said) - they’re not quite sure how they tend to put those 80 foot beams in place – we do understand a humongous crane is in the plans.
The tentative date of completion has been moved from July to sometime in September. Stay tuned!  
We’ve just got the normal size skeeters now, although every once in a while an enormous skeeter is seen lurking – so don’t forget the juice – Remember when using the bug juice and SANITIZER you need to really wash your hands before fishing - then rub some Salmon Egg juice, worm dirt or Anglers Bros Trout attractant to take that smell off.
Also, remember your polarized dark glasses and sunscreen.
And, of course, we'll have HOMEMADE pie & ice cream, sodas, beer, wine, coffee, tea and hot cocoa!

BISHOP CREEK AREA, CALIF:
Jared Smith - Parchers Resort (760-873-4177) (sierrasmitty@cebridge.net):
South Lake:
Much lighter traffic at the lake this week as windy conditions dominated mid week and even though the weekend weather was much improved, it was still pretty quiet in the canyon.
Fishing definitely slowed down a bit this week with most anglers reporting some fish but not necessarily limit style fishing.
The bite in Boiler Cove and at the Inlet continues to be primarily a bait bite and even the jig guys are resorting to tipping their jigs with a piece of crawler or mealworm to entire a strike.
There are still a ton of fish cruising the shore but these fish have been seeing the same stuff since opener and now that the spawn is winding down, they're getting a case of lockjaw.
Lure tossers are having a tough time getting fish on the hardware with only a few folks fishing from boats reporting much success using metal lures.
No trolling reports this week.
South Lake Landing will continue with spring hours for another two weeks, open Friday, Saturday & Sundays from 7am to 5pm.
Folks wishing to rent a boat Monday through Thursday should check in at the Parchers Resort office anytime after 8am.
The net lake level rise this week was at least a few feet but we're still a good 10 to 12ft from launching the docks, and more importantly, stocking fish. The lake actually dropped a bit over the weekend which was a surprise but I suppose we're all just riding the drought roller coaster at this point and keeping our fingers crossed that we stay on track with the runoff forecasts.
Stay tuned for updates.
According to SCE's lake level forecast, the lake will peak below the end of the launch ramp this year so private boaters are out of luck in 2013.
We ask that folks please avoid blocking the launch ramp however because Kayakers and South Lake Landing staffers still use the launch ramp area.
South Fork Bishop Creek:
Lots of happy anglers around the fish cleaning station this week, most of them reporting good to excellent fishing with the moderate creek flows on the South Fork. Jigs, spinners and salmon eggs are working best. DFW stockings near creek crossings and at campgrounds are making those areas the most dependable.
Weir Pond:
Great reports out of the Weir this week, mostly from spin fisherman fishing bait or working plastics like Berkley Micetails or mini-jigs.
Intake II:
Stocked by DFW but no first hand fish reports from our guests this week.
North Lake:
Stocked by DFW but no first hand fish reports from our guests this week.
Lake Sabrina:
The lake is finally up enough for our friends at Lake Sabrina to get some of their boats on the water and the DFW has already stocked the lake with pan sized rainbows and with some hefty brood stock fish as well.
Trail Report:
All that's left is a 50 yard section of snow on the approach to Bishop Pass and it's melting fast. The first JMT thru-hikers picked up their resupplies over the weekend and reported that the pass is mostly free of snow and it's pretty easy going for this early in the year.
All of the popular day-hike trailheads are snow free and wide open.

BOCA RESERVOIR, CALIF:
Mountain Hardware and Sports of Truckee (530-587-4844) (mountainhardwareandsports@gmail.com) reports:
Boca is holding steady at about 68 percent capacity and has been quiet on action.  Always a sleeper of a lake that no one wants to talk about.  
Best action by shore fisherman has been the dam and at the deeper troughs outside the inlet, especially with the flows starting to drop coming out of the LT.  If you pinch your barbs and fish lures only one can work the Little Truckee River that flows into Boca but be cognizant that you may be fishing besides a fly fisherman. Please be courteous to each other's space. 
Also, concentrate off points as large fish will be suspended here. 
Shore fisherman can be successful by throwing all sorts of bait and lures such as large spinners and small stick baits that will imitate kokanee, rainbows, or baitfish.

BRIDGEPORT RESERVOIR, CALIF:
Jim Reid of Ken’s Sporting Goods Store in Bridgeport (760- 932-7707)
(www.kenssport.com) reports:
June 16, 2013:
Bridgeport has still been fishing excellent.
Trolling with small rapalas, thomas bouyants and needlefish, bait fishing with crawlers, power bait and power eggs have both been doing great.
We haven't talked to any fly anglers lately but stripping small streamers and fishing midges under an indicator should do the trick.
Rainbow Point has been a great area to bait and fly fish and the trollers are either trolling the flats out from Paradise Shores or down near the dam.  

CONVICT LAKE AND CONVICT CREEK, CALIF:
Convict Lake Resort (800-992-2260) (www.convictlake.com) reports:

Tactics/Bait: 
Rainbow, orange, and green Power Bait all had good success this week on the lake. Red/gold Thomas Bouyants, Power Worms and Power bait Mice Tails were also very productive. 
Inflated night crawlers are always a great choice of bait.
Salmon eggs have been working both in the creek and the lake.
The hottest spot this week was the Inlet and South Shore. The Jetty and North Shores have also been fishing well.
Other locations to try are the Outlet, West Shore, Creek,  Handicap Pier and Hangman's Tree. 
Here is a list of other baits/lures that can be productive:

CROWLEY LAKE, CALIF:
Steve Osterman of Performance Guide Service (760-934-6101) (www.performanceanglers.com) reports:
The algae bloom is building. Sandy Point is still the most productive. Stevie's Wonder in gray/black or tan in 12 -15 feet of water.


DAVIS LAKE, CALIF:
Don Rotsma of Fly Fish With Don (775-722-8418) (www.flyfishwithdon.comn) reports:
Lake Davis - Thursday June 14,15,16th- Damsels are still active in some areas. We have experienced some great fishing at times with fish in the surface and lots of sight fishing with damsel patterns.
Only lasts for a couple hours though and then things are back to blind casting and retrieving. It is hard to go back to fishing subsurface when you have had a taste of good surface activity.
Lake temps were in the mid 60s and started at 64 this Sunday Morning.
Lots of anglers because of Father's day and the yearly trout tournament this weekend. Some ugly times at the boat ramps with the crowds and inexperienced boaters not knowing how to get their boats ready quickly and get in and out of water quickly.
Even waited 10 minutes while a guy waited for his motor to run out of gas while 5 other boats waited to get out! Grrr....
On a more fun note, the weeds are growing quickly and fish are definately attracted to the damsels that are migrating.
Things should just get better over the next few weeks.
There are early caddis hatches and some good midge hatches during the day along with callibaetis in the afternoon. I would just concentrate on the damsels right now though with nice fish and some outstanding action.
Fish are on average large and healthy, but seeing a few fish with markings.
If you are not seeing fish working the surface near weed beds and along the edges from 9am until about 11:30, you are in the wrong place and need to move until you find fish.
We have spent a lot of time this spring scoping coves and points for fish and it is remarkable how many anglers are fishing spots that are almost void of fish. Be flexible and move around trying different spots if you are not productive where you are fishing.
Fish still responding best to very slow retrieves casting sideways to the wind and keeping in touch with your line and bug.
Use the right bug, find the right depth and retrieve and pay attention, you will be rewarded.

DAVIS LAKE, CALIF:
Shasta Cascade Wonderland Association (530-365-7500) (www.shastacascade.com) reports:
Conditions have made this lake slower than normal at the moment, with weather being especially troublesome.
However, there are still plenty of fish in the shallow areas of the lake, meaning it is still a viable option for a fishing excursion.

DONNER LAKE, CALIF:
Mountain Hardware and Sports of Truckee (530-587-4844) (mountainhardwareandsports@gmail.com) reports: 
Donner is still fishing well a week after its first stocking of the year! 
Get the kids out there or your buddy who has a difficult time catching fish and have a good time!  
Remember to be a steward and keep just what you can eat! No need to fill your freezer with multiple trips and leave some fish for the kids to catch! Power bait will be the primary bait one will be using along with small shiny lures such as 1/12 to 1/8 Kastmasters, Roostertails, or Panther Martins.  Kokanee fishing has picked up here and one will be targeting 50 to 65 feet of water now between the area of Loch Leven and China Cove. 
Pink, Orange and Chartruese have been the best color choices. 
A large brown measured at about 30 inches was caught over the weekend.  The angler who caught it was trolling at a depth of 30 feet. 
Catching minnows can be deadly this time of year for the Macks as they are within casting distance.
Also, for those trolling for Macks action has been good.  Trolling the usual suspects that will imitate small Kokes and Rainbows will be the top producers.  Early morning off the boat launch one can troll some larger imitations of rainbows because some big Macks always come in to feed on these stockers.

EAGLE VALLEY RESERVOIR, LINCOLN COUNTY, NEV:
The Nevada Department of Wildlife (www.ndow.org) reports:
The Free Fishing Day crowd found good action on Saturday with over 100 fish entered into the largest fish contest. While none were the much sought after tagged fish, all those who participated in the annual fishing derby had a great time. Anglers caught both rainbows and brown trout with Power Bait, spinners and various flies.

ECHO CANYON RESERVOIR, LINCOLN COUNTY, NEV:
The Nevada Department of Wildlife (www.ndow.org) reports:
Fishing for largemouth bass and crappie has been good for the persistent angler. Most of the bass are one- to two-pound range and hitting on a variety of plastics. A couple of fishing buddies who set up near the mouth of the reservoir found excellent action for feisty crappie. Anglers are seeing a few brown trout measuring about 11 to 12 inches. Rainbows in a similar size range are plentiful.

PROSSER LAKE, CALIF:
Mountain Hardware and Sports of Truckee (530-587-4844) (mountainhardwareandsports@gmail.com) reports:
From the dam down to the section where the two inlets meet fishing has been fair at best. Trout in the 14 to 18 inch range and now Smallies have been caught on Kastmasters in 1/4 oz to 1/8 oz in Perch, Watermelon, Brook trout, and Gold early and late while Firetiger, Chrome/Blue, and Chrome have produced better during the mid day hours.  Look for similar colors in Roostertails, Panther Martins, and Thomas bouyants. 
This lake will be continue to fish worse as the season progresses because it's level continues drop to the 40 percent capacity mark and will not see the halfway mark this summer. 
Smallmouth fishing will be better this summer than trout fishing here as the water temps will be like a bathtub. 
For those who have more patience than me throwing nightcrawlers, Power bait, or Salmon eggs will certainly be a sure bet when the schools come by. 
Trollers should concentrate along drop offs by the shoreline and through the Prosser Creek arm with needlefish, Dick Nites, and Sierra Spinner (there just not for Kokes!) tipped with a nightcrawler.

STAMPEDE RESERVOIR, CALIF:
Mountain Hardware and Sports of Truckee (530-587-4844) (mountainhardwareandsports@gmail.com) reports:
Mack fishing has slowed a touch here but that doesn't mean that you won't hang one. Fish under or around schools of Kokes now if your targeting the Macks. Word is from Keith Zenker that the Koke bite is great and that you'll be fishing 40 to 65 feet down for them and that the larger ones are being taken by bumping the bottom in about 60 to 70 feet of water. 
Pink, Chartruese, and Orange in hoochies and squids have been go to's. 
Spinners will also work in these colors so don't dismay if these lures are your go to's. 20 to 40 fish days for the Kokes are here for some!  
See Mr. Z at our store or give him a call to find out the latest news.  He's got us stocked with some great Kokanee gear!  
For the shore fisherman spoons, large spinners, and stick baits will work and of course if you're throwing bait nothing beats an inflated nightcrawler drenched in your favorite scent. 
Action here has been better for the boater, but with the upcoming stock of trout this week it should pick up considerably. 

TRINITY LAKE, CALIF:
Shasta Cascade Wonderland Association (530-365-7500) (www.shastacascade.com) reports:
No current fishing report, however good news: March through June are the favorite months for experienced bass anglers there. The lake has good populations of both largemouth and smallmouth bass. It also holds the California record for small mouth bass! A dredger piles at the head of the lake, as well as other structures found in the coves and points throughout the lake provide excellent bass fishing for most of the year. Spring always provides the hottest action, as both species move into the shoreline to spawn. Courtesy of Fish Trinity Lake.

TRUCKEE RIVER, BIG:
Mountain Hardware and Sports of Truckee (530-587-4844) (mountainhardwareandsports@gmail.com) reports:
California:
Flows are coming down but with water being drawn off the top of Tahoe water temps have risen. 
Caddis have become prolific on certain stretches of the river in the evenings now. Unlike Mayflies, one should skate or dance there Caddis dries a bit as Caddisflies are fast emergers. Other hatches include PMD's in the late mornings, Little Yellow Stones, PED's and the occasional Green Drake emergence in the evenings with the Caddis. 
Rolling big Stoneflies during the day with imitations of Mayfly crawlers and Caddis Pupa behind them can be effective. 
Look to fish the pocketwater more now as the water temp rises along with outside temps. 
The flying Carpenter ants have gone for the time being but there is a lot of ant activity along the river's edge so don't discount the use of these patterns. 
Crashing one of these tasty morsels over an area that is seeing a lot of ant activity can bring on a splashy rise that will get your pulse up! 
Even though water temps are on the rise one should note that sometimes it's necessary to have good repeated drifts! 
Nymphing will consist of large primary flies such as Pat's Rubberlegs, Buggers, large Copper Johns(reds!), Prince Nymphs, large Caddis pupa and Stonefly imitations trailed behind 16-18 inches with Caddis, PMD, PED, Midge and General nymphs such as Copper Johns, Pheasant Tails, Hares Ears, and Birds Nests in sizes 14-18.
Gilligan and a few others have spotted adult Green Drakes but numbers have been limited to say the least. Fish this pattern more down toward State line where flows are bigger. 
Don't overlook streamers as some nice fish are still being taken this way and with water temps inching towards the 60 degree mark fish are more apt to chase your offerings. Sculpin imitations have been the best. Streamer fishing will be best in the wee hours of morning now or into dusk. 
Soft hackle imitations of Caddis and Mayfly's work well when fish are feeding just under the surface. 
Nevada:
If the California side of the Truckee is getting you flustered maybe a trip to the Nevada side will turn your luck around.  
Caution!  If you do fish the Truckee in Nevada please be aware that New Zealand Mudsnails have been found in sections of water there so please clean your shoes and gear accordingly to avoid aquatic hitch hikers!  
Study the water and turn rocks and see what is going on, also seine for what is in the drift.  Little things like this and slowing your approach to the river’s edge will greatly increase your chances of being successful. 
Again, make sure your box is stocked with every conceivable stage of bugs that are present now!  (x) = drawer number.

VIRGINIA LAKES, CALIF:
John and Carolyn Webb of the Virginia Lakes Resort (760-647-6484) ( HYPERLINK "mailto:vir@qnet.com"vir@qnet.com) report:
Mother Nature had a bit of the stomach flu for a couple afternoons and provided wind that emptied our parking lot, but no storm arrived with it. 
Fishing improved greatly after the double stocking (Alpers and DFW). 
The wind hampered some of the catching but died Thursday afternoon around 4pm, and the trout went bonkers on just about everything. 
Lake had a good chop making dry flies a good evening choice, and then leveled off a bit on Friday, and the lake was a bit flat on Saturday, but the weather was incredible.
Bait for the week: 
Nightcrawlers held the number one spot with garlic power eggs either orange or red. Trout were also hitting Garlic power bait, and various other home mixes of the dough. White mouse-tails, rainbow glitter, garlic sage and Captain American power bait.
Lures still working:
Were mainly Red/Gold Thomas Buoyant, Kastmasters, Hot Shots red/gold panther martins, and lip ripperz and various unsundry metal objects.
Fly action:
Picked up on olive woolly buggers, Olive Matuka, VL Special, caddis Emergers, Rickard’s AP emerger slowed, but Loeberg’s did the trick. 
Some belly guys were trying 3-fly rigs and pulling in some nice fish but were releasing most of them.
Big fish for the week: 
Hoyt Yee of Rosemead, 3lb 3oz Alper on Garlic Power Bait June 11
Michael Tucker of Lemon Grove, 2lb 7oz Alper on Thomas Buoyant June 12, Big Virginia
Grant Nichols of Temecula, 4lb 6oz Alper on Thomas Buoyant, June 12, Little Virginia
Dick Iceman Ginise of West Hills, 6lb 5oz Alper on Power Bait, June 14, Little Virginia

Trail:
Is clear to dry pond, there is still some snow just below the pass, but it is hanging on.

--Police chase suspect seeks medical care out of stateJune, 29 2011 12:19 am MST...

One suspect is in custody today and faces a charge of felony eluding in Monday's residential burglary on Roundup Road in Carson City that resulted in a vehicle chase and search for the suspect, said Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong.

Brandon Peart, 32, of Carson City was booked into jail with bail at $25,000. The resident of the address had reported walking into the home and discovering the burglary in progress. According to the initial report, the suspect threatened the resident with bodily harm before fleeing the area and taking guns with him.

As a result of accurate and rapid witness information, including a description of the suspect’s vehicle, Carson City Sheriff’s deputies located a vehicle matching the description approximately 7 minutes after the initial report, said Furlong.

When they attempted to stop the suspect vehicle, a high speed chase ensued into southeastern Carson City along the Carson River. The driver of the vehicle being chased lost control of the car near the 6000 block of Rio Vista. After a foot pursuit covering well over one mile across a valley and up a mountain side, visual contact with the suspect was lost in the dark.

Deputies from Carson City, Douglas County, Washoe County RAVEN, and NHP scoured the area throughout the night but were unable to locate the suspect.

Shortly before 2 p.m. today, a concerned resident near the 4300 block Golden Eagle reported a suspicious man in the area. Responding officers and detectives still in the area, located and detained Peart. He was interviewed by detectives, but provided no information. The vehicle involved in the pursuit has been identified as being registered to Peart's mother who lives in Carson City.

The burglary incident, along with a second burglary reported at the 4000 block of Quinn Road, remain under investigation.

While the burglary investigation remains open, the Carson City Sheriff’s Office has no reason to believe there is any on-going threat to the area residents. Both the vehicle driven by Peart, and the contents are being evaluated for connections to the reported burglary offenses.

A 20-year-old Carson City man was arrested Wednesday on a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly stealing a beer from a convenience store and then pulling a knife on the owner who had chased after him, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.

Tanner Ogden was taken into custody at 9:15 a.m. in the 2100 block of East William Street. He also faces misdemeanor charges of petit larceny and violation of a suspended sentence. According to the arrest report, deputies were dispatched to a convenience store on Rand Avenue in reference to a larceny.

Dispatch advised the suspect was wearing a gray sweatshirt and blue jeans. While attempting to locate the suspect, a citizen waved down a deputy and stated the suspect was headed toward the 99 Cent Store. The citizen also stated a minivan was following him.

The deputy went into the 99 Cent Store and observed a male subject pointing at a white male adult wearing a gray sweatshirt and blue jeans. The officer identified the suspect as Ogden who he had prior contacts in the Carson City Jail. While conducting a pat down search the deputy felt was he believed to be a knife in Ogden’s right sweatshirt pocket. The officer asked Ogden what was in his pocket and he stated a knife. While placing the man in handcuffs the suspect said, “you’re a stupid Mexican, you just got me probation for a beer,” the arrest report states.

The officer made contact with the man who was the reporting witness and owner of the Rand convenience store. He stated he went to the gas station nearby to get coffee and upon his return he saw his wife yelling and pointing at Ogden.

July is BEAR Logic Month, a time to teach residents how to live in bear country, including information on how bears are managed. BEAR Logic means to think like a bear and try looking at your property from a bear’s perspective. This will help you understand why bears are frequenting your property and how you can avoid these encounters.

The Nevada Department of Wildlife strives with every bear interaction to keep the bear wild and alive. In fact, the agency biologists and game wardens have a number of tools they deploy when handling a conflict bear, purposely designed to be non-lethal.

Our bear-management team uses aversive conditioning methods to modify bear behavior. One of the most important members of the bear team is our Karelian Bear Dogs, Rooster and Dazzle. These dogs serve as partners for bear-management specialists in resolving human-bear conflicts.

Their job during a bear release is to chase the bear, bark in its face and make it run away or climb a tree. This aversive conditioning is essential in preventing bears from returning to problem sites. Visit our information page and watch the video below for details on how these dogs help condition bears and keep them from becoming too bold around humans.

In addition, other non-lethal management tools are deployed. These can include bear traps, non-lethal rubber bullets and bear spray. While these tools may seem distressing to the bear, they actually teach bears to associate humans with unpleasant experiences. This way bears will learn to keep their distance from humans and ultimately keep them alive.

NDOW has handled over 1,100 black bears since 1997. In that same time period 103 bears have been euthanized for management reasons, mainly public safety. Even though that’s fewer bears killed for public safety than are killed by cars on roadways it is still too many. Please use bear resistant cans for your trash and help NDOW, Rooster and Dazzle protect Nevada’s wildlife.

As Nevada’s black bear population continues to grow the NDOW bear-management team will continue to use non-lethal aversive conditioning to help keep our bears wild.

A black bear sow and her three male cubs were captured this week on the west side of Carson City by the Nevada Department of Wildlife. The four bears were safely released back in to the wild Friday morning in the Ash Canyon area west of Nevada’s capital city.

The bears were on the verge of becoming “conflict” bears before the capture. “They had been raiding garbage cans and searching for fallen fruit from trees,” said NDOW biologist Carl Lackey. “NDOW’s new family trap, which has multiple trap chambers, was used in the capture.”

The sow was tranquilized outside the trap and placed in a secure chamber of the trap while the cubs remained up a tall tree. The three cubs eventually came down the tree and were caught in the second chamber.

“That is how we were able to reunite the sow with her cubs,” said Lackey.

The release took place on early Friday morning in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada in Ash Canyon. Because cubs were involved a “soft release” technique was used. “During a soft release, we do not chase the bears with Karelian bear dogs because of the danger of separating the sow and the cubs,” said Lackey.

Nevada’s black bears normally begin hibernation between Thanksgiving and Christmas but can delay their sleeping plans if weather remains moderate and food is still available to the bears.

Two Carson City Sheriff's Office deputies were treated and released for minor injuries after a vehicle chase Sunday night that began in Carson City and wound up with a patrol car being rammed in South Lake Tahoe.

Samantha Rose Randazzo, 32, of South Lake Tahoe was arrested on suspicion of felony enhancement, evading, and assault with a deadly weapon. She also faces misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence and driving on a suspended license. Randazzo is being held in the El Dorado County Jail in South Lake Tahoe. Her bail is $112,500.

Randazzo, 32, allegedly rammed a patrol vehicle and then refused to get out of the SUV she was driving, said Carson City Sheriff's Office Sgt. Earl Mays. A deputy suffered injuries to his hand when he broke through the passenger side window to unlock the door. The other deputy was treated and released for injuries after the woman slammed into his patrol vehicle with her SUV, said Mays. The names of the deputies have not been released.

The chase began before 6 p.m. on South Carson Street near Carson Station. A deputy attempted to pull Randazzo over for driving erratically and suspecting she was under the influence. Randazzo instead continued driving south on Carson Street and then westbound onto Highway 50 over Spooner Summit. Officers in the pursuit said she traveled at a speed of around 55 mph in town and 70 mph up Spooner through light traffic. Douglas County Sheriff's Office and the Nevada Highway Patrol also responded.

Because of traffic in the South Lake Tahoe area, Randazzo was forced to reduce her speed to 35 mph to 40 mph. According to Sgt. Shannon Laney of the South Lake Tahoe Police Department, Randazzo hit about 50 mph as she went through the intersection of Highway 50 and Ski Run Boulevard.

The chase finally ended with an arrest at the corner of Highway 50/Lake Tahoe Boulevard and Tallac Avenue in South Lake Tahoe. The vehicle was stopped after it rammed the Carson City patrol officer's vehicle at around 6:20 p.m., said Laney.

A car stopped at a red light on Highway 50 and Tallac Avenue caused Randazzo to stop so a Carson City Sheriff's officer was able to pull his car in front of her. She slammed into his vehicle in an attempt to escape but was unable to do so, said Laney.

The Carson City deputy injured in the crash resulted in the felony assault with a deadly weapon charge.
