Does anyone know if there is a signficant population of Mysis shrimp in SW, or Magic Valley reserviors? Just read a post about someone finding freshwater shrimp in some bellys? Also if so what sizes have you experienced? 18s 12s 8s?

The scuds known as fresh water shrimp and the infamous F&G planted Mysis shrimp are generally two different things.

Like MMdon said, don't become by someone using the term 'shrimp'. When someone says they found shrimp in a fish it usually means they found freshwater scuds which are shrimp-like. Most waters in Idaho contain scuds. Only deep, cold waters hold mysis shrimp which are totally different than scuds.
