'Talk shop' with Idaho Fish and Game staff

The first of four “Talk Shop with Idaho Fish and Game” gatherings will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 17 at the Lake City Center, 1916 N. Lakewood Drive, Coeur d'Alene.

Anyone from the public is encouraged to attend. Free food and soft drinks will be provided, and folks who attend can expect to hear a 10-minute presentation about a topic of interest followed by plenty of time to mingle with staff and have conversations about questions, concerns or ideas they may have. 

"Talk Shop gatherings are quite different from and more conversational than many other Fish and Game meetings folks may be used to," said Idaho Fish and Game on its website. "In addition, Talk Shop gatherings are not part of the season setting or management planning processes. Quite simply, the intent of Talk Shop gatherings is for Fish and Game staff to listen to and get to know the hunters, anglers, trappers and wildlife enthusiasts they serve — which is all of you."
