Nearly 8,000 10-12 Inch Rainbow Trout to be Stocked in Local Waterways

June 27, 2024

Enjoy some summer fun in the sun while soaking a line this July. Approximately 7,800 catchable-size (10 to 12-inch) rainbow trout will be stocked in the Clearwater Region this month.

July fish stocking schedule

For maps of these Idaho fishing locations and other angling destinations please visit the Fish Planner.

All you need to get started is a fishing license and some basic tackle. Annual adult fishing licenses cost around $30, junior licenses (ages 14-17) cost $16, and youth under 14 fish for free. Click here to buy a license.

Fishing for stocked rainbow trout, particularly in community ponds, is a great way to introduce new anglers to the sport by using simple (and relatively thrifty) set-ups like worm/marshmallow combinations or commercial baits like Power Bait or Crave, either near the bottom or below a bobber. The Learn to Fish webpage offers diagrams for basic bait rigs.

Most Idaho waters are open to fishing year-round, but some may have slightly different rules. Be sure to pick up a 2022-2024 Idaho Fishing Seasons and Rules Booklet, which outlines season dates, special regulations and bag limits at any Idaho Fish and Game offices or most sporting goods stores statewide.
