Canning trout

The short answer is, "no." Centain species of game fish, which trout are defined in Idaho rule 13.01.11. , can not have the heads and tails removed while in transit.  You also must be able to show how many fish, the length and species of fish you have in possession while in the field. Idaho Administrative Code 13.01.11. 02. Restrictions. No person shall have in the field or in transit any trout, tiger muskie, or bass from which the head or tail has been removed. (3-20-97) 03. Bag Limit. The maximum number of fish that may be lawfully taken by any one (1) person in one (1) day. The term “bag limit” shall be construed to be an individual, independent effort and shall not be interpreted in any manner as to allow one (1) individual to take more than his “bag limit” toward filling the “bag limit” of another. The bag and possession limits are equal except for salmon and steelhead. (3-20-97) 29. Possession Limit. Maximum number of fish that may be lawfully in possession of any person. “Possession limit” shall apply to fish while in the field or being transported to the final place of consumption or storage.
