Mac the Naw Sierra fishing report: Mountain lakes freeze but not enough for safe ice fishing
Submitted by editor on Wed, 11/30/2016 - 10:41pm
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.

Human Progress versus Self Immolation
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Wed, 11/30/2016 - 3:03pmWe are humanists and, so, optimists.
Against us in the political sphere stand environmentalists and other anti-humanists. These folks see not progress, but threat, in seemingly everything done by man.
We see man as being born into an uncertain and challenging world. In a state of nature, earthquakes, tornadoes and other disasters combine with infections and shortages of food, shelter and other basic resources to threaten man's very survival. But over centuries, humans have applied their intelligence to shape the world around them.
