The Magic Valley Regional Office of Fish and Game has been monitoring the water level and temperatures at different locations within the region and have found water conditions in Mormon Reservoir are no longer suitable for fish survival. In response, a fish salvage order is now in place for Mormon Reservoir.

Due to low water levels a fish salvage order has been issued for Mormon Reservoir, effective August 18, 2023.
The Director of Idaho Fish and Game has ordered that bag and possession limits be removed on Mormon Reservoir effective August 18, 2023. Limited snowpack and delivery of the reservoir’s entire active storage capacity have necessitated this action.
The fish in Mormon Reservoir are expected to perish due to extremely warm air and water temperatures and forecasted conditions.
A valid 2023 fishing license is required to salvage fish.
Fish may be taken by any method, except by firearms, chemicals or electric current.
