Idaho Seeks Angler Input on Fish Management

Anglers have three different opportunities to shape Idaho’s fisheries

Anglers have not one, but three different opportunities to leave public comments and shape Idaho’s fisheries:

  • 2025-27 Statewide Fishing Seasons and Rules
  • The (New) 6-Year Statewide Fish Management Plan
  • 2024 Spring/Summer Chinook Salmon Fishing Seasons and Bag Limits

Idaho Fish and Game highly encourages angler input, so staff is also hosting meetings throughout the state to provide information and take comments in person. The collective voices of Idaho’s anglers help direct important decisions involving species and population management, as well as seasons and bag limits.
