Lawmakers Host 'Fish with a Legislator' Event

Politics and fishing come together at Nampa's Wilson Springs area on Saturday, April 4 for a "Fish with a Legislator" fishing event. From noon to 2 p.m., Ada and Canyon County lawmakers will be visiting with constituents and wetting a line at the popular fishing destination. The family-oriented event is being sponsored by the Idaho Legislature, the Idaho Sportsmen's Caucus Advisory Committee and Sportsmen for Fish & Wildlife. "We know folks are concerned about a great many issues," event organizer state Rep. Steve Kren, R-Nampa, said. "This fishing event is an excuse to enjoy some fun family time and also share some of those concerns with elected officials in a casual atmosphere." Participants are encouraged to bring their own fishing gear to the event. For those lacking fishing equipment, loaner gear will be available from Idaho Fish and Game. For more information regarding the "Fish with a Legislator" event, contact Kren at 332-1044 or the Fish and Game Nampa office at 465-8465.
