Dworshak Reservoir Kokanee Update by  Sean Wilson

Idaho research crews are busy working on several concurrent research projects to improve monitoring capabilities for big game in forested landscapes and determine how large predator and ungulate populations affect each other. Based on those interactions, managers will decide what actions would be most effective in achieving desired numbers for each population.

For the first time since the early 1990’s, Fish and Game has collars on white-tailed deer in Game Management Unit 1 in the Idaho Panhandle. Biologists use GPS collars to better understand deer movement and survival.

Fish and Game has used guides for many years to collect samples from steelhead harvested on their trips. For this study, we gave a number of guides in Idaho a handheld PIT-tag reader that can detect the tag inside the fish. This allows guides to quickly detect a tag and release the fish.

Hi everybody, it is time for my weekly spring Chinook Salmon update (6/17/2020).

Staff from both agencies work together to prioritize trail work in popular hunting and fishing destinations, discussing their priorities for work projects and matching those up to areas that are in the highest demand for hunter and angler access. Funding from Fish and Game and other partner agencies makes the projects possible.
