Cooler weather means it’s a great time to go fishing!
Here's some quick highlights of some of these locations.
Fenn Pond – 480 Rainbow Trout. If you visit the Selway River and are looking for a good place to harvest some rainbows for dinner, check out this pond! The boardwalk and fishing dock offer easy access.
Soldiers Meadow Reservoir – Located on Webb Creek about 20 miles southeast of Lewiston, this scenic reservoir is popular for rainbow trout and kokanee. It’s well-suited for kayaks, canoes, and small watercraft.
Winchester Lake – 3,000 Rainbow Trout. Located in a beautiful, forested setting, this lake offers very easy access. Docks and fishing platforms enhance fishing opportunities for beginners and accomplished anglers. Facilities include a picnic shelter, fish cleaning station, benches and picnic tables, and a variety of camping options. Many facilities are located in Winchester State Park, where an entrance fee applies. Electric motors only.
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.
If you need detailed information about Idaho’s waters, fish species, facilities, maps and rules, check out the Idaho Fishing Planner on Fish and Game’s website.
Most Idaho waters are open to fishing year-round, but some may have slightly different rules. Be sure to pick up a New 2025-2027 Fishing Seasons and Rules booklets now available | Idaho Fish and Game, which outlines season dates, special regulations and bag limits, at any Idaho Fish and Game offices or most sporting goods stores statewide.
