If you're not hunting, go fishing

JEROME - Don't want to go hunting this fall, try fishing. Cooler fall temperatures and 26,000 pounds of donated rainbow trout are helping anglers fill their creels this fall in the Magic Valley Region. "The fishing is great," said Doug Megargle, Fish and Game Regional Fisheries Manager. "The cooler water temperatures are making the trout more aggressive in most our regional waters and with the 26,000 pounds of donated fish we were able to stock extra fish in many of our family fishing waters." Newly stocked water in the region, include: 3,000 fish planted at Frank Oster #1 pond; 4,000 fish at Riley Pond; 2,400 fish at Dierkes Lake; 900 at the small Empire Pond; 1,700 at the large Empire Pond, and 14,000 at Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir. The limits are still six fish per person and youth under the age of 14 do not need a fishing license.
