Sportfishing
From stocked mountain lakes to blue-ribbon wild trout streams, Idaho’s got lots of catchable fish! Learn to find and identify fish, tie knots, rig lines, select baits and lures, and cast to a target. Experiment with different kinds of rods and reels, research fishing regulations, and, when you’re ready, conduct your own sportfishing skillathon.Project Requirements | pdf |
