The Rules Brochures

Online rules brochures are shared here in PDF file format. They are produced to keep the online display as close as possible to the printed version. However, the online version will be updated for significant changes, corrections, or updates to seasons and rules when deemed appropriate.

Printed copies of the seasons and rules brochure can be picked up, without charge, at IDFG Headquarters or Regional Offices.

To view Idaho Fish and Game administrative rules and code, visit the Office of Administrative Rules on the Idaho Department of Administration website.

To advertise in future Idaho Fish and Game seasons and rules large brochures, call: Rotary Offset Press at 1-253-216-1256.
