Each August, anglers from The Idaho Bass Federation participate in the local "Catch A Special Thrill" Program at Black Canyon Reservoir. In the C.A.S.T. program, local anglers take handicapped and terminally ill kids from the Mountain States Tumor Institute out for a morning of fishing. After the fishing, everyone participates in a barbeque put on by the local Job Corps and an awards presentation for the kids that caught fish and the anglers that helped them.
The East Idaho C.A.S.T. Event is scheduled for July 18, 2009 at a TBD location.
The South Idaho C.A.S.T. Event is scheduled for August 15, 2009 at Black Canyon Reservoir. Come and help out a kid!

The Idaho Bass Federation annually participates another unique youth event; the Scale of Justice kids tournament. It is held in September on C.J. Strike Reservoir. A group of Idaho bass anglers get together with the Ada County Court System and Judge John Vehlow to take some kids involved with the court system out for a day of fishing. After fishing for a few hours everyone goes to an awards ceremony and has a great picnic lunch.
The Scale of Justice tournament for 2009 is scheduled for September 27, 2009 on C.J. Strike Reservoir. Make plans to sign up to help out a kid in 2009!
