Because of low water, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game has removed the bag, possession, and size limits on Little Camas Reservoir in Elmore County.
Anglers must use normal fishing methods to catch the fish. A valid Idaho fishing license is also required.

I've heard rumors that Hawkins Reservoir also under salvage but don't know if it is true.

i did read about this salvage in the F&G site. What kind of fish are in this reservoir and how big a reservoir? How deep the water? It's probably a 4hr drive for me but i'm seriously thinking about it. Can anyone tell me what shape the reservoir is in right now?

I've never fished little Camas so maybe someone else could give you some better information. I've read that the rainbows the F&G plant in there have a good growth rate and there may??? be some perch in there.

Looks like Mountain Home Reservoir has been added to the list for fish salvage. [unsure]
Here is what was on the F&G website.
Because of low water, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game has removed the bag, possession, and size limits on Little Camas and Mountain Home reservoirs.
Drought and high irrigation demands, will drain the two Elmore County reservoirs by mid to late summer. Fish in these reservoirs will be killed as water levels drop and conditions become unsuitable.
Bag, possession, and size limits will be removed on Mountain Home and Little Camas reservoirs and their outlets effective August 3 through November 30.
Fish may be taken by any method except firearms, explosives, chemicals, or electric current, and a valid Idaho fishing license is required to salvage fish.
