Here are a few things the F&G proposed at the meeting.
#1 Increasing the legal size of trout in Treasureton to 18" or 20"
#2 Decreasing the size of legal size of bass in Condie to 16". This may not sound like a good idea at first but I believe it would actually help the bass fishery at Condie become more stable like Glendale.
#3 Turning Devil Creek Reservoir into a Family fishing water.
#4 Opening McCoy Creek on Memorial Day instead of July 1st
#5 Restricting Bass harvest on the Snake River below American Falls Reservoir to Lake Walcott. This really needs angler support. If any of you would like to see the bass harvest restricted in this area, show up to one of the other meetings or call/stop by the SE region office and let the F&G know what you think.
#6 Possibly allowing non motorized boats on Weston and Winder instead of the current float tubes only rule.
There were a couple other things but I can't think of them off the top of my head.
Joyride,
The meeting was very informative. If you have time to make it I would highly recomend it. You will see that we have some quality biologist managing the fisheries in SE Idaho. Sounds like a done deal in making the 2 pole permit from one state, valid for Bear Lake in both states.
