NDOW proposes to open Marlette Lake to fishing

By Don Quilici

The Ormsby Sportsmen's Association (OSA), a local organization for hunters and fishermen, will meet at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday evening at the Carson Nugget Convention Center.

At that meeting, a representative of the Nevada Department of Wildlife will give a presentation on the NDOW proposal to open Marlette Lake to fishing.

Marlette Lake is in a vehicle-restricted area between Carson City and Lake Tahoe and fishing has been restricted at that lake for decades.

In addition, NDOW also proposes to ease the current "Catch and Release" fishing restrictions at Spooner Lake.

OSA meets on the third Tuesday of each month for the months of January-May, has outdoor picnics in the months of June-September and again back indoors for the months of October and November. There is no regular meeting in December.

All OSA meetings, functions and activities are free of charge and open to anyone interested in the outdoors, hunting and fishing.
