Thousands of trout coming to Boundary County

April 3, 2016

We are going to share a secret that will help with your fishing success. Over 6,000 trout are coming to Boundary County.  They will be escorted to county lakes courtesy of Idaho Fish and Game, and are scheduled to arrive during the month of April. All will be 10-12 inch rainbow trout.  Their new homes will be in five Boundary County lakes.

We bring you this information to help with your fishing planning. Idaho Fish and Game stocks trout year round, but expands its operations as more waters open in March and become suitable for trout. Typically, ponds are the first places, followed by small lakes and reservoirs, then larger reservoirs and streams, but it depends on many factors. This year, Idaho Fish and Game is stocking 1.6 million catchable rainbow trout between 10 and 12 inches, which are stocked strictly for anglers to catch. They are typically stocked where they are easily accessible to anglers and there's high probability they will get caught.
