Yep. See rule 1. Then see rule 5. :-)
The object of the game is to catch the most inches of fish. Only fish caught legally while ice fishing on public waters in the state of Idaho will be scored. Points will be awarded for up to 7 fish. Only one fish of each species will be scored. However you may upgrade and enter a larger individual of a previously scored species. A separate award will also be given for the longest individual fish caught.
The 7 fish may be composed of a combination of …
- Up to 5 different game fish (see page 55 of the 2011-2012 Fishing Seasons and Rules book published by IDFG; except that panfish, will be scored separately). All cutthroat trout and cutthroat x rainbow hybrids will count as one species. All variations of rainbow trout (e.g. banana trout etc.) will be counted as one species. All species of whitefish will be counted as one species.
- Up to 3 panfish. All crappie will be considered one species. All bluegill, sunfish, pumpkin seeds, and green sunfish will be counted as one species. So, you could enter 1 perch, 1 crappie, and 1 sunfish, for a total of up to 3 panfish.
- Up to 1 non-game fish (e.g. sucker, carp, chub etc.).
For example, the 7 species may be composed of 5 game fish, 1 non-game fish, and 1 panfish (probably the best combination). However other valid combinations would include 3 game fish, 3 panfish, and 1 non-game fish; or 4 game fish, and 3 pan fish; or 4 game fish, 2 pan fish, and 1 non-game fish etc….
