The local news reported that the IDFG will be bringing Island Park Res. back to the good catch rates of several years ago.
IDFG will be stocking ~500,000 to 750,000 trout. The only down side would be that other areas won't get the normal stocking numbers because I P will take priority. I think this is a huge shot in the arm for I P. I have seen the quality of fishing decline each year for the last 4-5 years. The reservoir has such an abunance of feed it shouldn't take long for the fishery to bounce back.
P.S. I P is the only place where I have caught 3 lb. kokes
