We’re Going Fishing!

The Rotary Club of Sparks in partnership with the City of Sparks and Nevada Department of Wildlife is excited to be hosting Kid’s Free Fishing Event. The fishing event is free for all kids 17 years old and younger. All youth must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult.  Only registered youth for this event may fish at this location without a fishing license.

Registration is day of the event only on the south side of Sparks Marina.

Don’t have a fishing pole? No problem. Fishing poles and bait are provided, while supplies last.

Never been fishing before? We have coach volunteers to help our youth anglers reel them in and NDOW will stock the lake with over 7,000 rainbow and brown trout in preparation for a fun and eventful event!

Face painting and many more fun activities for the whole family. Did we mention… it’s FREE!

With over two decades experience on the Nevada coaching staff and in administration, Ken was named UNR's 27th head coach on December 10, 2021.  While building relationships with Wolf Pack fans in the community has been a goal since becoming Nevada's head coach, it's far from Wilson's top objective.  That is to build Wolf Pack football into a championship football program again, a place it has not reached since 2010 when Wilson was the Wolf Pack's associate head coach and Nevada won the WAC with a 13-1 record.

For five years Rob oversaw all aspects of fleet repair and maintenance for Sierra Pacific Power Company before becoming the owner and general manager of his own automotive repair company.  Specializing in fleet maintenance, general automotive repair, preventative maintenance and automotive transmission repair, Rob will speak to us about preparing now for summer weather conditions that will keep your vehicle on the road.  

Alongside her four goats; Bosco, Oatcake, Sharkey and Jon Snow, Jody hiked the 172 mile Tahoe Rim Trail in 2021. Throughout the 26 day trek, her goats carried her gear, became her best friends, and provided wonderful entertainment.  Now they can take you hiking as well! Jody will speak to us about the her walking adventures throughout the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, and Leading a Life Uncommon.
