Saturday, June 10, is Free Fishing Day, and the
Idaho Department of 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. 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 provides a great opportunity
for novices to give fishing a try and perhaps
develop it into a life-long pursuit,” Fish and
Game regional fish manager Joe Kozfkay said.
“Parents are encouraged to bring their children
out for a day of fun fishing excitement.”
In Boundary County, the Lions Club Pond on Lions
Den Road is the place to take the kids, as the
pond will be stocked just for the occasion! |
