Nevada Outdoor School was
fortunate enough to partner with NDOW and the USFS at the recent 2018 Annual Humboldt
County Kids Fishing Day event. The event
was located at Andorno Ranch Pond, 34 miles north of Winnemucca and coincided
with Nevada Free Fishing Day.
The event
brought many children and families outside.
NOS set up an outreach table where our Americorps Members Irma Mendoza
and Ale Cruz played games and educated children on Leave No Trace and Tread
Lightly! Kids won prizes for the first
fish out of the water in each age category as well as for the largest and
smallest fish. There was a bike raffle
and of course the always popular casting contest. Every child went home with a fishing prize, goodie
bag and any fish they caught. It was a
huge success. Even Smokey Bear made an
appearance. While the weather was not
fantastic, it held out long enough for many kids to catch their limit of fish
and have an awesome experience. We are
grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this awesome local event. And we thank everyone who helps makes this
event successful for the community and the kids.
Happy Trails!
