IDFG Seeking Angler Comments For 2002-2003 Fish Rules
idfg-staff
Anglers who would like to provide input into development of fishing rules for the upcoming two years are encouraged to attend one of Idaho Department of Fish and Game's public meetings.
Regional fish biologists will be on hand to take angler input and discuss possible changes, most of which are designed to simplify statewide regulations. Possible modifications include dropping the general bag limit for trout to 5; standardize bag limit numbers, modifying several definitions to reduce confusion, and designating a number of waters as family fishing waters with simple regulations.
The meetings will be held at the following:
