FREE FISHING DAY KIDS DERBY PLANNED AT CAVE LAKE

On Saturday, June 14, the Nevada Department of Wildlife will be hosting the annual Kid’s Free Fishing Day Derby at Cave Lake State Park. Registration starts at 8:00 am and the kids fishing derby runs from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. There is no charge for the participants, though parents must be present with their children.

Between 11:30 and noon, there will be a free drawing for prizes for children who sign up for the derby. Prizes include rod and reel combos, fly fishing outfits, and tackle boxes. There will be a free grab bags for all participants. Children must be under 18 to be eligible for the prizes.
