NEZ PERCE COUNTY, Idaho — Are you looking for something to do this weekend in Idaho? The Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests and other groups are hosting the 34th annual Free Fishing Day!
Free Fishing Day will be celebrated at locations near Grangeville, Pierce and Lowell. Anyone can celebrate fishing without a license. Some locations will have fishing gear that fishers can borrow, but you are encouraged to bring your own gear to prepare for the day.

From 9 a.m. to noon, there will be a casting contest, a fish art activity, a raffle drawing and more. Participants will also get free hot dogs and drinks courtesy of the Grangeville Lions Club.
