Idaho Fish and Game is seeking public input on the 2019-2021 Fishing Rules for the Southeast Region and on an update to Idaho’s statewide Fisheries Management Plan. Open houses have been scheduled at regional Fish and Game offices statewide so that members of the public can meet with fisheries staff, ask questions, share ideas and submit comments for consideration.
The Southeast Region’s open house has been scheduled for Feb. 13 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Fish and Game office at 1345 Barton Road in Pocatello.
Can’t make the open house? You can still provide comments to Southeast Regional Fisheries Manager David Teuscher via email at david.teuscher@idfg.idaho.gov or by calling 208-232-4703. Current regulations and statewide management plan as well as an online comment form are available at idfg.idaho.gov/form/fishing-rules-public-comment.
Results from public feedback will help fisheries staff develop proposals for the three-year fishing regulations and the six-year Fisheries Management Plan. Then the proposed changes will go through another round of public review before the Fish and Game commission sets the new rules in November 2018.
