Unlike neighboring states, Idaho’s not planning any fishing restrictions or closures due to warm water, state Fish & Game officials said today. “In many streams, what we’re seeing this year with water temperatures happens every year, we’re just seeing it sooner than normal,” said Jim Fredericks, fisheries bureau chief.

Idaho F&G has received reports of two dead sturgeon in the Hells Canyon reach of the Snake River, but said sturgeon there are unlikely to be impacted by fishing pressure. “Catch rates drop so much that very few get caught. You can’t stress them out if you can’t catch them,” said Joe DuPont, Clearwater Region fisheries manager for Fish & Game.

Fish & Game has these tips for anglers: They can reduce stress on fish by not fishing during the warmest parts of the day, and if they plan to release the fish they’ve caught, doing so quickly and carefully. They also advise that if a released fish goes belly-up, it’s advisable to stop fishing until after the water cools. You can read their full announcement here.
