Asm. Jimmy Gomez brings fishing to Lincoln Heights

(Los Angeles) – Assemblymember Jimmy Gomez (D-Los Angeles) is dedicated to expanding opportunity for the people of California. Recently, he partnered with the Department of Fish and Wildlife to bring fishing to the residents of Lincoln Heights when he hosted his annual fishing derby. The Department of Fish and Wildlife stocked the lake with thousands of fish, rangers taught the kids the basics of how to fish and about native fish, and the kids were given the opportunity, for many their first time, to actually use their new fishing skills. The fishing derby had become one of Asm. Gomez most popular events and this year saw hundreds of families participate. Learn more in this Assembly Access video.
