Free Fishing Day in Idaho is June 13 |

May 19, 2015 |
Saturday, June 13 is Free Fishing Day in Idaho,
and Idaho Fish and Game invites veteran and
novice anglers of all ages--residents and
nonresidents alike--to celebrate the day by
fishing anywhere in Idaho without a license.
In Boundary County, a special event for free
fishing will be held at Snow Creek pond--see
further details below.
Though fishing license requirements are
suspended for this special day, all other rules,
such as limits or tackle restrictions, remain in
effect. Free Fishing Day includes salmon
fishing. Anglers don't need a license or salmon
permit, but they are still subject to all bag
and possession limits.
Free fishing day provides a great opportunity
for novices to give fishing a try and perhaps
develop it into a life-long pursuit. Parents are
encouraged to bring their children out for a day
of fun fishing excitement.
Lack of fishing experience is no excuse. At
special locations around the state, equipment
will be available for use, and fishing experts
will be on hand to help novice anglers learn the
ins and outs of fishing. In addition, all these
locations will be stocked with hatchery rainbow
trout prior to the special day.
In Boundary County, a special free fishing event
will be held at Snow Creek Pond from 9:00 a.m.
until noon. This Fish and Game event is
co-sponsored with the Bonner's Ferry Lions Club.

Panhandle free fishing events, call
