Fishing for kids should improve in September

Submitted by Zimo on Wed, 08/27/2008 - 7:36am.

The kids are back in school and sometimes it's not as easy to bust out of town and do some fishing.

I've gotten a lot of questions this summer about the best places to take kids fishing.

Idaho Fish and Game is stocking Boise and Nampa ponds in September and they are usually great spots for the kids. Some of them have docks for easier fishing.

Parkcenter Pond will get 1,000 trout while Quinn's Pond will get 600. Hatchery workers will put 600 fish in Riverside Pond and 1,000 trout in Veterans' Pond. These are all in Boise.

Wilson Spring and Wilson Spring Ponds, both near the Idaho Fish and Game regional headquarters off Powerline Road in Nampa, will also get trout. The spring will get 600 and the ponds, 1,000.

Look for an expanded stocking report in Idaho Outdoors on Thursday.

Good fishing.
