Idaho Fish & Game has announced that more than 240,000 catchable-sized rainbow trout are headed to Idaho's lakes, ponds, and reservoirs throughout May.
IDFG says that fishing for rainbow trout is a "great way to introduce budding anglers to the sport."
All a person needs to fish in Idaho is a valid fishing license. You can find additional information on how to get a license on the IDFG website.
