Annual Tom Brooks Memorial Kid's Fishing Day Hosted by Carson City Host Lions Club
This event is hosted by the Carson City Host Lions Club and our community supported project will start at 8:00 am and run until 1:00 pm on Saturday September 14, 2013, at Baily Fishing Pond within Fuji Park.
There will be hundreds of beautiful rainbow trout stocked into Baily's by the Nevada Department Of Wildlife (NDOW) for this special event. Additionally, there will also be a secret quantity of privately raised rainbow and brown trout stocked as well. Kid's 12 years and older require a Nevada Fishing license/trout stamp, see www.ndow.org for more info. NDOW Angler Education Volunteers and the Lions will be helping kids catch fish throughout the morning and will also supply hooks-line-and sinkers, bait, etc. Your kid might just win a rod and reel (or maybe even a bicycle to go fishing with).
If that's not enough, the Clear Creek Bowmen will be providing top notch archery instruction (and loaner bows/arrows) for the kids. The Northern Nevada Director of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation will be manning an inflatable indoor BB gun range (too much fun)! Our dear friend Linda Conlin with the River Wranglers will be teaching kids a wonderful form of Japanese fish art. The Carson City Capitals Baseball Program will be providing lunch and drink (etc) for an extremely reasonable cost. The proceeds of which will go to help a kid's progress in that sport.
Tom Brooks was an avid outdoorsman and sportsman. He helped kids learn about fishing and much more. He was taken away early from his life and his friends wanted to remember him through a project such as this KFD. It was so named after him because of all that he stood for.
Our special thanks to Carson City Parks and Recreation who made all this fun possible!
