A coalition of Lake Pend Oreille commercial fishermen and resort owners denounces the Idaho Fish and Game Department’s lower Kokanee possession limit and October closure as discriminatory and unwarranted. They urge immediate rescission pending study while arguing the measures harm the local tourist economy and should favor Idaho residents with licenses based on sales. The petition cites factors like Kokanee size, lake fluctuations, and last year’s high water as affecting spawning estimates.
