Abstract:

The 2013–2018 Fisheries Management Plan describes the management direction of the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (Department) and is the guiding policy document for fisheries activities over the six-year period. The document’s goals, objectives, and deliverables are tiered to the Department’s strategic plan known as the “Compass.” This management plan establishes policy direction for Department personnel that maintains their focus on priorities identified by our angling constituency and other stakeholders. The plan is divided into two parts: Part 1 deals with fisheries management on a statewide basis, and provides Department goals, objectives, and desired outcomes. Department policies and fisheries management programs are described. Results of the 2011 Angler Opinion Survey are summarized, statewide issues and programs are discussed, and strategies are identified to attain the goals. Part 2 proposes specific management direction for all drainages in the state. This document contains currently relevant management issues and general plans for major water bodies in the state. It is a description of objectives and strategies for what the Department deems the most important waters per drainage as determined by angler use and complexity of the management program. A narrative overview describes the location; gives pertinent statistics on use, land management activities, and demographics; and describes the habitat and important fisheries. Objectives and specific programs by drainage are listed. Management direction for important waters by drainage is presented. This section is intended to be adaptive to respond to changing biological, temporal, and social climates.
