Idaho Fish & Game has published their trout stocking highlights for June.

Idaho's lakes, rivers, and ponds will be stocked with over 240,000 catchable-sized rainbow trout this month, and you may be able to reel some in at your favorite fishing hole this summer.

To catch one of these trout, you need a valid Idaho fishing license — unless you’re under 14, in which case fishing in Idaho is free.
