Mackay Reservoir is being drained down to near river channel depth in order to do repairs on the ancient Mackay Dam. Thus IDF&G has placed a salvage order on the reservoir. Anyone salvaging fish must have a valid Idaho fishing license. Sport fishing methods, netting, archery and guddling ( using hands to capture fish) are legal means to harvest. Chemical and electrical means are illegal. On completion of dam repairs and subsequent reservoir filling, IDF&G will re-establish the reservoir trout population.
