Southeast Region

After a salmonellosis outbreak was detected in parts of Idaho and surrounding states earlier this spring,  bird enthusiasts were cautioned to remove feeders to reduce the spread of the disease.  If you want to put your feeders up again, just be sure to follow some important steps to protect your fine-feathered friends.

Idaho Fish and Game manages a fishing access site along the Portneuf River just north of Lava Hot Springs. The site is formally known as Lower Portneuf, but also the “Byington Place.” This is one of the few public access areas along the Portneuf River between Chesterfield and McCammon which makes it very popular with anglers as well as other recreationists.

Fish and Game needs the public's help in solving a case!  Last month, a female mountain lion was shot during a closed season on Scout Mountain south of Pocatello.

The Southeast Region WFAC will meet on Tuesday, April 6, at 6:30 pm.  Call-in number is available.

April may be known for its finicky spring weather in southeast Idaho, but here is a “forecast” anglers can really rely on to plan their outings. 

Check it out!  Additional furs, hides, antlers, skulls, carcasses, and other items from around the state of Idaho have just been brought to Fish and Game's virtual auction.  If you have already visited the auction, you just might want to take another peek and see if something new "trips your trigger."

Fish and Game biologists wish to understand whether current regulations are working relative to angler interactions in the Snake River between American Falls Reservoir and Gem Lake.  Carson Watkins, Regional Fisheries Manager says, “This stretch of the Snake River has become increasingly popular with anglers in recent years, and yet few surveys had been conducted here up to this point.”
