June 14 is Free Fishing Day in Idaho |
|
June 4, 2014 |
Saturday June 14 is your chance to try fishing
for the first time, or dust off your rod and put
it back into use. It is Free Fishing Day in
Idaho, and Idaho Fish and Game invites everyone
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 includes salmon;
anglers don’t need a license or salmon permit,
but they are still subject to all bag and
possession limits.
Accordidng to Idaho Fish and Game, free fishing
day provides a great opportunity for novices to
give fishing a try. It is also a great
opportunity for those who might want to pick up
an old tradition. It is also a great opportunity
for parents to introduce their children to the
sport for the first time.
Lack of fishing experience is no excuse, says
Fish and Game. 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. For information on a location near you,
contact your local Fish and Game office. |
