37th annual Idlewild fishing clinic June 15
For 37 years Cranbrook Fire and Emergency Services (CFES) has been hosting a fishing clinic at Idlewild Lake for children aged 15 and younger.
The purpose of the clinic is to encourage family unity and outdoor recreation in our community, noted CFES firefighter Jeremy Bertrand.
“Each year on Father’s Day we put on a Fishing Clinic for youth in Cranbrook at Idlewild Lake. Our association is comprised of career fire department members, retired members, and volunteers firefighters. These extremely dedicated members have worked hard over the years to organize this valuable community event so that our youth are provided the opportunity to enjoy the recreational opportunities that the East Kootenay has to offer,” Bertrand said.
This year’s clinic is Sunday, June 15 (Father’s Day), from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
There is no cost or pre-registration required and organizers provide hot dogs and refreshments.
The largest fish landed wins a chartered fishing trip and the biggest tagged fish can earn a young angler a new bicycle, among many other prizes available.
The lake will be stocked by the Kootenay Trout Hatchery and all provincial fishing regulations apply. All prize eligible fish must be caught in Idlewild Lake.
