FISHING -- Saturday is Free Fishing Day in Idaho and Washington will double the pleasure by dropping the general fishing license requirement for both Saturday and Sunday.

While fishing license requirements will be suspended, all other rules, such as limits or tackle restrictions, remain in effect.

Montana has set its free-fishing opportunity for Father's Day weekend, June 18-19.

Idaho is inviting novices to special locations around the state where  equipment will be available to borrow and fishing experts will be on hand to help novice anglers learn fishing basics. All of the locations will be stocked with hatchery rainbow trout prior to the event.
