BEGINNING FISHING CLINIC

Fishing is one of those fun activities that parents can share with their children, but sometimes parents or other care giving adults don’t know how to get started. That’s why the Nevada Department of Wildlife is holding a free beginners fishing clinic where participants of all ages can receive practical information and hands-on training to help them get started.

The clinic is scheduled for 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 26 at Floyd Lamb Park. On the agenda are knot-tying techniques, casting skills, how to choose between baits and lures and most importantly, how to identify and handle fish. Equipment, tackle and bait will be available for those who do not have their own. A Nevada fishing license is required for those who are 12 years and older. Registration is required. For more information contact Ivy Santee at 486-5127 ext. 3503, Monday thru Friday, 8am – 5pm.

The Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) protects, restores and manages fish and wildlife, and promotes fishing, hunting, and boating safety. NDOW’s wildlife and habitat conservation efforts are primarily funded by sportsmen’s license and conservation fees and a federal surcharge on hunting and fishing gear.
