Idlewild Pond is officially stocked and ready for Free Fishing Day tomorrow!🎣
Join City of Reno Park Rangers and the Nevada Department of Wildlife at Idlewild Pond from 8 a.m. to noon tomorrow (Saturday, 6/13) for a morning of free family fishing and a chance to learn a few tips along the way.
Whether you’re a longtime angler or figuring out which end of the rod does what, this is a great chance to get outside and cast a line. No fishing license is required, no experience is necessary, and the event is fun for all ages! Free fishing poles will also be given out while supplies last.
June 13 is Nevada’s annual Free Fishing Day, which means anyone can fish Nevada’s waters without purchasing a fishing license. The day also coincides with Nevada State Parks’ Adventure Day, which offers free admission to all Nevada state parks, except those requiring day-use reservations.
