Thinning ice around Lake Tahoe becoming a safety concern for humans and pets
Submitted by paula on Mon, 03/20/2017 - 4:26pm
Warming temperatures and the arrival of spring bring not only flowers and the appearance of grass to the Lake Tahoe Basin, but they also bring dangerous thin ice.
In an incident Friday, a local woman was out walking two dogs when they ran onto the ice which broke, and both dogs fell into the cold water at Cove East near the Tahoe Keys. With assistance by a nearby paddle boarder the dogs were rescued, but this brings to light how serious the thinning ice can be.

A whopper of a fish tops the scales during Kid's Fishing Derby

"I'm usually a bass fisherman," explained 11-year-old Casey Holden. "I only fish for trout during this derby."
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.
