Despite the fact that it's summertime in the Treasure Valley, we're all a little confused after watching big, cold chunks of hail fall from the sky just a day ago. Regardless--it is time to get outside and enjoy all that Idaho has to offer: the unpredictable weather is a piece of that, too.

What is more Idaho that taking a stroll to your nearest fishing hole and trying to catch a trout!? We can't think of many things that are more 'Idahoan' than that (take note, Californians, this is a great way to assimilate)!

On Saturday, June 10th-- an annual tradition put on by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game will return: everyone in Idaho can fish for free! Occurring annually on the second Saturday of June--this is a highly anticipated day for fishermen and fisherwomen--no matter their skill set or experience level!

What makes the fishing 'Free'? No license is required to drop a hook into the water!
