FAMILY FLY-FISHING WORKSHOP

Families looking for the opportunity to learn a new outdoor sport they can share together may want to consider attending a family fly-fishing workshop offered by the Nevada Department of Wildlife. The workshop, for families with children seven years of age and older will take place Sunday, March 8 at City View Park in North Las Vegas. The free program will begin at noon and will cover the basics of fly-fishing with a focus on casting skills and equipment needs.

Following the workshop, the Las Vegas Jr. Fly Fishing Club will hold its monthly meeting at City View Park at 2 p.m. For more information contact Ivy Santee at 486-5127 x 3503, Monday thru Friday. The club meeting also is for families with kids 7 and over.

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.
