Fishing Rules Target 1972 Seasons and Habitat Loss
Field staff recommend tighter fishing limits for 1972 as the Boise fish and game commission prepares for October 14 hearings. Proposals include reducing the trout bag limit, creating catch and release zones on the Middle Fork Salmon, fly fishing only on Railroad Ranch segment of Henrys Fork, expanding Silver Creek fly only, and halving salmon and steelhead limits amid nitrogen saturation. Wildlife habitat decline is noted nationwide with habitat loss, pollution, and endangered species concerns. The National Wildlife Federation cites 101 endangered species and warns of continued habitat loss and regulatory actions, including whaling and mercury cases.
