ID F&G recently held "Lets Go Fishing" day at Eagle Island State Park on May 28, 2022 as part of its Trailer Education program. The agency partnered with local radio stations for a ‘free fishing fiesta’ Memorial Day weekend to kick off the fishing season in Idaho. BVFF members Troy Pearse and Jon Fishback were there to provide casting instruction and information about BVFF.

Memorial Day marks the unofficial opener to fishing season in Idaho. This was a community event to introduce English and Spanish-speaking residents of southwest Idaho to fishing and recreational opportunities at the area’s state parks.
