Small streams, July 5th, 2024

Almost all small streams are now open to fishing (Teton River drainage river drainage streams are rounding into fishing shape). Many, however, have restrictions. For example, the Blackfoot River drainage above the Blackfoot River Reservoir requires barbless hooks, no bait, and return of all cutthroat trout to water from which they are caught. Many waters require no harvest of cutthroat trout. Refer to Idaho Department off Fish and Game Fishing Rules and Regulations to determine which streams require return of cutthroat trout to waters from which they are caught.
