Fishing Trailer Scheduled for Local Pond Tour

Stocked with equipment and information, Fish and Game's fishing trailer will soon be making more than 30 appearances at local ponds across the region, promoting fishing as part of a healthy outdoor lifestyle.
To learn more about the trailer program, contact the Fish and Game Nampa office at 465-8465. More information regarding the fishing trailer program, including other regional trailer schedules, is also available on Fish and Game's website at http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/fish/?getPage=80.
With its exterior wrapped completely with vibrant fish illustrations, the trailer is hard to miss. "The big fish and vivid colors make the trailer a kid magnet," Fish and Game conservation educator Evin Oneale said. "That's what we're after; a focal point to help get a kid excited about fishing."
But the important stuff is inside the trailer. "The idea is to bring fishing equipment and fishing expertise to what we call our Ôbicycle fisheries' - local neighborhood ponds," Oneale noted. "All kids and their parents have to do is show up; we'll get them geared up and on the water."
"We hope our efforts will get kids excited about fishing and help build a new generation of anglers," Oneale added.
The trailer's 2015 schedule will kick off at Kleiner Pond in Meridian on Saturday, April 11th followed by a stop at Settlers Pond on Wednesday, April 15th. A fishing license is not needed by any participant that registers at the trailer for the duration of the event, regardless of age or residency. "Everyone is welcome at these events, but we want to make a point of inviting kids and their parents who have an interest in fishing but lack the equipment and perhaps the knowledge to get started," Oneale said. "The only cost is a bit of time, and the idea is to help people gain enough fishing experience and confidence to strike out on their own and enjoy fishing as a fun, family activity."
