Summer months are the perfect time to learn how to fish, or even to take up fishing again if you haven’t fished for years. Staff from Fish and Game, Magic Valley Region will be taking their Take Me Fishing trailer to area ponds and lakes across the Magic Valley during June and July, 2022.

No fishing experience is necessary. Fish and Game staff and volunteers will be on-hand to help both kids and adults learn fishing basics. 

Anyone who registers at the trailer during these events can fish without a license during the hours of the event. After the event is over, a fishing license is required of anyone 14 years of age and older.

Fish and Game will provide fishing poles, tackle and bait.

All scheduled fishing events will be held from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
