Free Fishing Day June 13 in Idaho

Free Fishing Day is June 13, and it’s a great opportunity to be outdoors and get acquainted with Idaho’s great fishing spots. Fishing is an inexpensive sport because you can get all the gear you need for about $50 (or less). But odds are good you have some old fishing gear laying around the house, or someone in your family has some you can borrow. You can also check garage sales or second-hand stores. Even if it hasn’t been used in years, it will probably still catch fish.

So dig out that old, trusty, dusty fishing gear and let’s get it ready to fish.

Now you have all you need to go fishing, and Idaho Fish and Game can help with that. Fishing is free on June 13, meaning no fishing license is required for people 14 years and older on that day. (Children 13 and younger are not required to have a fishing license in Idaho.)

Next take a look at Fish and Game’s Fishing Planner, which provides information about nearly every body of water in the state that has public fishing.
