March 17 and 18. Las Vegas and Laughlin. Kids, cops, and fishing poles at the water.
Cops and Bobbers puts local police officers and kids on the same bank with a line in the water. Officers and volunteers taught the basics: how to bait a hook, cast, and land a fish. For a lot of these kids it was their first fish.
WHIN backed the event with volunteers on the ground, led by Nick Gulli, alongside the local police departments.
Why it matters: kids who fish grow up caring about clean water and healthy lakes. Fishing license dollars fund fish stocking and habitat work across Nevada. Getting kids outdoors early builds the next generation of anglers and conservationists.
One kid. One cast. One fish at a time.
