Regulations
Idaho Department of Fish and Game
Idaho's 2021 simplified-rules framework keeps most waters open year-round for general species; this is the statewide default, not a water-specific ruling. Lake Pend Oreille carries special kokanee/mackinaw (lake trout) regulations tied to its kokanee-recovery program -- verify current-year rules for this specific water at the IDFG Fishing Rules page before fishing.
| Species | Min. length | Daily creel | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trout (general) | — | 6 | Statewide general daily limit; Pend Oreille carries special kokanee/mackinaw rules -- check current rules for this water. |
| Largemouth/smallmouth bass | — | 6 | Statewide general daily limit; some waters carry different limits. |
