Idaho Fish and Game is stocking more than 214,000 rainbow trout across the state this April, increasing access to fishing opportunities as the spring season gets underway
Lakes, ponds, and reservoirs throughout Eastern Idaho are among the locations receiving stocked fish, helping create more opportunities for residents and visitors to get outdoors and enjoy the region’s natural assets.
Fish stocking plays an important role in supporting outdoor recreation, which continues to be a key driver of economic activity. Increased access to fishing contributes to tourism, supports local businesses, and enhances quality of life across Eastern Idaho.
Recreation assets like these help strengthen the region’s appeal by offering a balance of industry, lifestyle, and access to the outdoors. Investments in natural resources and recreation infrastructure continue to support growth and attract both visitors and workforce talent.
At REDI, we recognize that outdoor recreation is an important part of the region’s economy. Expanding access to experiences like fishing helps support local businesses, drive visitation, and reinforce Eastern Idaho as a place where people want to live, work, and stay.
