WINNEMUCCA - The local offices of the U.S. Forest Service, BLM, and NDOW, along with the Wilson family, are hosting a fun-filled day of fishing for kids and their families.

Community youngsters are invited to come out to the Andorno Ranch Pond, located 34 miles north of Winnemucca off U.S. Highway 95, with their fishing poles, tackle boxes and bait and take part in the 21st Annual Humboldt County Kids Fishing Derby from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, June 8.

The derby is being held in conjunction with Nevada's Free Fishing Day and National Get Outdoors Day.

Every child fishing at the derby will receive a free goodie bag full of fun stuff. In addition to free fishing, the day will feature prize drawings and the popular casting contest. All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

The hosts and sponsors have a strong commitment to the community's youth and are proud to host a memorable day of fishing for the kids and their families.

"Seeing the smiles on the kids' faces makes it a great day," said Tina Gast, derby spokesperson. "The beauty of fishing is that it is an activity that a family can enjoy together for a lifetime," Gast said.
