Fish with an Officer Event Returns to Preston Area

Once again Idaho Fish and Game Conservation Officers want to take you fishing-for free! Don't have any gear? Don't have a fishing license? No problem. Just come to our Fish with an Officer event on Wednesday, July 9, from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm at Johnson Reservoir located about 4 miles east of Preston. Bring the whole family to this unique "meet and greet" event! Fish and Game will bring the fishing trailer filled with fishing poles, tackle, and bait free to use by the public while supplies last. And, if you register at the trailer, you don't even need a license to fish! Enjoy a free hot dog dinner prepared by the officers, and enter the free raffle for some great prizes, including tackle boxes and fishing poles. Don't know how to fish? Those new to the sport can receive assistance with basic fishing skills, from tying knots to casting to reeling in a feisty fish. The Take Me Fishing Trailer isn't just for kids either! Everyone is welcome. For more information about this Fish with an Officer Event, contact the Fish and Game office in Pocatello at 208-232-4703.
