Idaho Fish Report

Kokanee salmon fishing has slowed. Angler Dale reports good success while bottom fishing from a boat for rainbows and cutts. The tagged rainbow trout contest is bringing a lot of boat traffic to Strawberry on the weekends; weekdays are much less crowded. The contest runs until October 31, and there are still many prizes to be claimed. Registration is not necessary, so go catch a tagged rainbow trout! There are special regulations in effect at Strawberry: the limit is a combined total of four trout or kokanee salmon. No more than two may be cutthroat trout under 15 inches, and no more than one may be a cutthroat trout over 22 inches. All cutthroat trout from 15 to 22 inches must be immediately released. Trout and salmon may not be filleted, and the heads or tails may not be removed in the field or in transit. Check the Utah Fishing Guidebook for more regulations and for help identifying the Bear Lake cutthroat trout and the rainbow trout.
