Catch Me If You Can: 400,000 Rainbow Trout Occupy idaho Waters

The year is either just been flying by or we keep seeing Angler news. It feels like I've written this a few times, but this is a big one.

Idaho Fish and Game just announced the deposit of over 400,000 rainbow trout across the Gem State. Grab a license, some worms, the family, and poles for some great fishing this Spring.

I don't want to say that technology has ruined those little things that we learned as kids. It makes me feel old when I say things like that. For instance, I would go outside and play catch with myself. It was easy to play basketball alone and pretend the game was ending with my final shot. Instead, it's Mario Maker on Nintendo Switch and Youtube kids in 2021.

You might understand what I mean and this is a great reason to put phones away for a day by the lake. Plus, it looks like everyone is catching something with over 400,000 chances. Get a license for about $30 by following the link.
