Memorial Day weekend is the kick off for many Idahoans getting out to go camping and fishing. It also coincides with some prime fishing conditions, especially in many lakes and reservoirs.
Fish and Game provides a big bonus for anglers. Between May and June, Fish and Game stocks about 685,000 catchable trout in Idaho waters. Those are the two biggest stocking months because Fish and Game hatchery crews want there to be plenty of fish for anglers to catch throughout the state and it tends to be some of the best fishing conditions of the year.
