BEGINNING FISHING WORKSHOP

The Nevada Department of Wildlife will hold a free fishing clinic for anglers of all ages at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 28 at Floyd Lamb Park located off of Durango in the northwest corner of the Las Vegas Valley.

Participants will learn such fishing basics as casting skills, fish identification, and bait and lure selection along with knot tying. They will also have the chance to put their new fishing skills to the test so participants who are 12 years old and older will need a current Nevada fishing license.

Workshop registration begins Tuesday, Aug. 24, at 8 a.m. For more information or to register contact Ivy Santee at 702-486-5127 x 3503.
