BEGINNER’S FISHING CLINIC FOR ALL AGES

The Nevada Department of Wildlife will be holding a fishing clinic for anglers of all ages at 9 a.m. May 2 at Floyd Lamb Park near Durango and Hwy 95. Participants will learn the basics of knot tying and develop casting skills. They will also learn how to identify fish species and select the right bait.

A current Nevada fishing license is required for participants 12 years of age or older because the class will conclude with students putting their new fishing skills to the test. Registration begins Mon., April 20 at 8 a.m. For more information and registration contact Chris Pietrafeso at (702) 486-5127 ext. 3850.
