Rainbow trout stocking schedule for November 2024 in the Magic Valley Region

idfg-tthompson

Filer Pond and Filer Kids Pond are the only stocking locations in November

As we move into winter, stocking of hatchery rainbow trout slows across the Magic Valley Region. But if you live near Filer, the Filer Kids Pond and Filer Pond are a great place to fish when the temperatures start to drop.

Hatchery personnel from Fish and Game’s Magic Valley Region will be stocking approximately 900 10-12” catchable-sized rainbow trout in November, all in the Filer Kids Pond and Filer Pond. All stocking dates and numbers of fish are approximate.

Stocking of all waters is tentative and dependent on river/lake/pond conditions (angler safety concerns); dates may change due to weather or staffing constraints.

Most Idaho waters are open to fishing year-round, but some may have slightly different rules. Be sure to pick up a 2022-2024 Idaho Fishing Seasons and Rules Booklet, which outlines season dates, special regulations and bag limits at any Idaho Fish and Game offices or most sporting goods stores statewide.
