Idaho is going for it to get individuals fishing.
Simply a couple weeks back, we reported on Idaho’s trout fishing program, which provided anglers money benefits for assisting thin out the rainbow trout population at the South Fork of the Snake River.

Now, the Idaho Department of Fish and Video game is partnering with Avista to provide generally the exact same chance, however for walleye in Lake Pend Oreille, which will start March 1.

Comparable to the trout research study program, wildlife authorities inject a small internal tag into the snouts of the fish, which the anglers will not in fact have the ability to see. IDFG authorities tagged 50 overall walleye, which are now swimming in Lake Pend Oreille, the Clark For River and the Pend Oreille River.

If you capture a turn in the head of a tagged walleye, you’ll win a $1,000 benefit. Nevertheless, even if your walleye head isn’t tagged, it’ll still get in a regular monthly illustration for 10 prize money of $100.

Furthermore, there’s no bag limitation on walleye within the Pend Oreille system, so you can fill the boat to increase your opportunities.

The IDFG frets the inflated walleye population might threaten the kokanee, rainbow trout, native bull trout, ruthless trout and smallmouth bass populations. Authorities think the unforeseen increase in the walleye population is probably an item of unlawful intro back in the 1990s.

Walleye replicate at worrying rates, as they were generally nonexistent in Lake Pend Oreille ten years back, so the look for a solution is unquestionably time-sensitive.

There is excellent news, however. Of all fish that might be a problem, walleye are among the very best freshwater fish to consume and a lots of enjoyable to capture, too.
