Want to get out for some fishing, but don’t have any gear? Maybe you fished as a kid, but need a few reminders on how to cast. Perhaps you aren’t so sure you want to fish, but your kids or grandkids are just dying to try it.
If this describes you or your family, then check out Idaho Fish and Game’s Take Me Fishing Trailer program — back for its eighth year of spreading fishing fun around the region!
The Take Me Fishing Trailer is traveling to family-friendly fishing waters around eastern and southeastern Idaho this summer — starting this Memorial Day weekend! The trailer has all the poles, tackle and bait you need for fishing, and you don’t even need a fishing license for the event as long as you register at the trailer. There is staff on hand to teach you what you need to know about fishing, from casting to reeling in your catch. Plus, the trailer will likely be visiting locations near you or within an hour’s drive from your home.
The fishing trailer events are free and supplies are checked out to participants on a first-come, first-served basis. There really is no excuse to not get out this summer and do some fishing.
Upcoming Take Me Fishing Trailer events in eastern and southeastern Idaho are as follows.
- Saturday, May 27, Portneuf Wellness Complex in Pocatello, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- Monday, May 29, Edson Fichter Pond in Pocatello, 5 to 8 p.m.
