Rainbow Trout

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game continued annual fish population monitoring at the Conant and Lorenzo monitoring reaches of the South Fork Snake River in the fall of 2021 to evaluate the effectiveness of management actions on the river, and health of trout populations.

Clear Springs Foods recently donated over 300 large rainbow trout that were stocked into Hayden Pond and Kid's Creek Pond.

Fish and Game staff will be stocking over 16,000 catchable-size (10 to 12 inch) trout across the Southwest Region in November.

It’s the burning question on every sport fisherman’s mind: How’s the forecast looking for anglers going after record-breaking Cascade perch? The results are in, and biologists are optimistic.

Throughout the month of September 2021 rafts outfitted with electrofishing gear could be seen shocking fish in the Teton River Valley and the South Fork Teton River near Rexburg. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) along with staff and volunteers with the Friends of the Teton River conducted fish population surveys using mark/recapture methods on three monitoring reaches in the Teton River drainage.
