Vegas man dies in fishing accident at Nye County reservoir

ELY, Nev. (AP) — A 65-year-old Las Vegas man died after falling off his kayak during a fishing trip at the Kirch Wildlife Management Area in northeast Nye County about 75 miles south of Ely. The Nevada Department of Wildlife said Thursday Paul Bifulco was fishing with a friend Monday when he capsized about 200 yards from the shore. He initially appeared to be okay when his inflatable like jacket brought him back to the surface, but collapsed in the cold waters while attempting to get back to shore. A game warden and a volunteer fireman were able to pull the friend to safety.
