June 13. Free Fishing Day in Nevada. No license needed on public waters, just show up and fish.
At Echo Canyon near Panaca, WHIN gave away four kayaks. At Sunset Park in Las Vegas and Veterans Memorial Park in Boulder City, WHIN gave away poles. Nick Gulli estimated about 200 people at Boulder City. Joel Henderson helped represent WHIN, and the Elks fed the crowd.
Why it matters for wildlife: a kid who catches a fish keeps coming back. Those kids grow up to buy the licenses that pay for Nevada wildlife and to stand up for the water they learned on.
Bring a rod. Bring a kid. Leave with a story.
