Top ‘patriotic’ places to go fishing this Fourth of July

The Fourth of July falls on a Friday this year, which only pours more gasoline on the angler’s burning desire to get out and fish. (No need to come up with a clever excuse to get out of work when most of the country and your boss are already out fishing, too. In fact, a seasoned angler would just forego an excuse altogether at risk of tipping off their boss and losing that crucial head start leaving town.) Idaho is one of the younger children born into the U.S.A. Joining the Union just a day shy of Independence Day in the year 1890, early Idahoans celebrated their newly minted state and independent nation they just became a part of in perhaps the most honorable way imaginable.
