The sixth grader from Fairfield-Suisun Valley Elementary had the catch of the day on Sunday during the 14th annual Moose Lodge Fishing Derby held at Lake Baron inside Tahoe Paradise Park. The first fish he reeled in was 3 lbs 7 oz after about 90 minutes of fishing. As soon as he got that one off the hook he cast another line and within a minute caught the one that ended up being the biggest of the day, a 7 lb 5 oz rainbow trout.

On Saturday, June 27, 2015, members of the Rotary Club of South Lake Tahoe gathered at Sawmill Pond to paint restrooms and signs, and to clean up. This has been an annual event for Rotarians headed up by Past President and Rotary Project Manager David Huber with the support of the USFS. Sawmill Pond is an excellent place for young ones to learn to fish. It is for children fifteen years and under. Parents are welcome to help, but not allowed to fish. Sawmill Pond gives children access to fishing in a beautiful stocked pond which hosts an annual children-only fishing derby.
